Top 10 reasons to blame Democrats for soaring gasoline prices10) ANWR If Bill Clinton had signed into law the Republican Congress's 1995 bill to allow drilling of ANWR instead of vetoing it, ANWR could be producing a million barrels of (non-Opec) oil a day--5% of the nation's consumption. Although speaking in another context, even Democrat Senator Charles Schumer, no proponent of ANWR drilling, admits that "one million barrels per day," would cause the price of gasoline to fall "50 cents a gallon almost immediately," according to a recent George Will column.9) Coastal Drilling (i.e., not in my backyard) Democrats have consistently fought efforts to drill off the U.S. coast, as evidenced by Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's preotestation against a failed 2005 bill: "Not only does this legislation dismantle the bi-partisan ban on offshore drilling, but it provides a financial incentive for states to do so." A financial incentive? With the Chinese now slant drilling for oil just 50 miles off the Florida coast, wouldn't that have been a good thing?8) Insistence on alternative fuels One of the first acts of the new Democrat-controlled congress in 2007 was an energy bill that "calls for a huge increase in the use of ethanol as a motor fuel and requires new appliance efficiency standards." By focusing on alternative fuels such as ethanol, and not more drilling, Democrats have added to the cost of food, worsening starvation problems around the word and increasing inflationary pressures in the U.S., including prices at the pump. 7) Nuclear power Even the French, who sometimes seem to lack the backbone to stand up for anything other than soft cheese, faced down their environmentalists over the need for nuclear power. France now generates 79% of its electricity from nuclear plants, mitigating the need for imported oil. The French have so much cheap energy that France has become the world's largest exporter of electric power. They have plans in place to build more reactors, including an experimental fusion reactor. The last nuclear reactor built in the United States, according to the US Dept of Energy, was the "River Bend" plant in Louisiana. Its construction began in March of 1977. Need I say more?6) Coal "The liquid hydrocarbon fuel available from American coal reserves exceeds the crude oil reserves of the entire world," writes Dr. Arthur Robinson in an article on humanevents.com. The U.S. has approximately one-fourth of the world's known, proven coal reserves. Coal would be a proven, and increasingly clean, source of electric power and--at current prices--a liquified fuel that would reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Yet Dems and their enviro friends have fought, and continue to fight, both coal-mining and coal plants. 5) Refinery capacity "High oil prices are still being propped up by a shortage of refinery capacity and there is little sign of the bottleneck easing until 2010," according to Peak Oil News. And, while voters in South Dakota have approved zoning for what could become the first new oil refinery in the United States in 30 years, the Dems' environmentalist constituency vows to oppose it, just like environmentalists opposed the floodgates that could have saved New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina. 4) Reduced competition With consolidation in the oil industry, has come reduced competition. Remember, most of the major oil company mergers -- Shell-Texaco, BP-Amoco, Exxon-Mobil, BP-ARCO, and Chevron-Texaco -- happened on Clinton's watch. The number of oil refiners dropped from 28 to 19 companies during Clinton's two terms. 3) The Global Warming Myth At a Group of 8 meeting this week, host and Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Akira Amari "described the issues of climate change and energy as two sides of the same coin and proposed united solutions ... to address both issues simultaneously". As a result of Global Warming hysteria, the Al Gore-negotiated Kyoto Protocol created a worldwide market in carbon-emissions trading. Both 2005 --the year that trading was initiated--and this year --when the trading expanded dramatically -- saw substantial and unexpected price spikes in the cost of oil, leading us to reason Number...2) Speculation "Given the unchanged equilibrium in global oil supply and demand over recent months amid the explosive rise in oil futures prices ... it is more likely that as much as 60% of the today oil price is pure speculation," writes F. William Engdahl, an Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization. According to a June 2006 US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report, US energy futures historically "were traded exclusively on regulated exchanges within the United States... The trading of energy commodities by large firms on OTC electronic exchanges was exempted from (federal) oversight by a provision inserted at the behest of Enron and other large energy traders into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000." The bill was signed into law by Bill Clinton, in one of his last acts in office. 1) Defeat of President Bush's 2001 energy package According to the BBC, "Key points of Bush('s 2001) plan were to:-Promote new oil and gas drilling-Build new nuclear plants-Improve electricity grid and build new pipelines -$10bn in tax breaks to promote energy efficiency and alternative fuels
Some care more than others. The ones that care mostly about the cocaine and stuff are usually the ones like Amy Winehouse, and simply go half cocked at things. Pamela Anderson cares about certain causes, and is very emotional about them.Possibly more emotional than logical. And there are others that spend a lot of time reading about the issues, and form well thought out judgements on the important issues. They are intelligent people who have gotten to the top of their industry, and it is not just for good looks. For every good looking movie star, there are hundreds of would be actors who are unsuccessful. If you can get to the top of such a competitive industry, then you must have some musclepower under your hat.
She's a fucking coward. Shooting animals and displaying them like that. I'd like to see her fight with her bare hands like the animals do. She'd be bear meat in seconds...
Top Ten Reasons Not to Vote for Republicans in 2008 10. If you get cancer, and don’t have insurance, you lose your life and your home, and Republicans are making a profit from your death. Millions of Americans are dead because they couldn’t afford to pay. Health care is the new Eugenics. 9. When was the last time gas was a dollar a gallon? Oh yes, the Clinton years, 1998. Why? Because of good management, that’s why. 8. The government is staffed with former lobbyists for the industries they’re supposed to regulate. 7. The first people on the scene after Hurricane Katrina? Blackwater mercenaries. Has anything been done to prevent the same destruction from happening again? Nope. 6. Intentionally uncounted thousands of war dead, in a war that has no purpose but to enrich bankers, oil companies, mercenaries, and weapons manufacturers, from the treasury of the United States (funded by you). 5. McCain will start another war. 4. McCain will raise your taxes. 3. When your 13 year old daughter is raped, she will be required by law to bear the child. The mother will die in childbirth, and her rapist-spawned baby will grow up and kill you. 2. They are greedy, cultist, demagogues. The constant propaganda is so “Saddam.” 1. “Liberal” is the new “Jew.” This November, please hold the Republicans accountable for their reprehensible attacks on humanity, and their relentless pursuit of profits at the expense of human life.
The reason we are noticing this is because PAMELA ANDERSON used verbs, nouns, adjectives and phrases PROPERLY. We are shocked. We are surprised. We are stunned, perhaps. We had no idea she knew how to do this and are perplexed by it, never suspecting her cosmetic surgery included BRAIN SURGERY. If this is the case, and she's secretly hoarding brains, then by all means, GO PAM GO!

That is only three celebrities out of hundreds. Not very good odds if you ask me. A vast majority of celebrities are more concerned about who they are going to buy their coke from that day, than what is going on in the world of politics....IMO.
Are you trying to characterize celebrities as being unqualified to have political opinions? That's an interesting position for a rightwinger to take...-I can think of three actors right off the top of my head that became Republican politicians: Reagan, Schwarzenegger, and Sonny Bono. Your turn.
I love you very very ...
That, or they just know who to sleep with.
