Obama Tells SF Chronicle He’ll Bankrupt the Coal Industry

Fortunately Obama’s lucky that people are so desperate right now they can’t think straight, because his policies are the nail in the coffin to our economy. Any year prior to this he would’ve been laughed out of the race for pushing such an idiotic and environmentally loony left policy. As it stands, Obama wants to make it so expensive to build a coal plant that he’ll bankrupt anyone who tries.

Only problem is that 49% of our electricity comes from coal. But don’t worry, running our infrastructure on solar power will make up for it. Uhhh….. Ask any Obama supporter if they know of this (and many other anti-growth positions of his), they won’t know. Heck, ask them if they even understand the concept. Be sure to wear your racism shield.

I like to refer to this as bull-crap and trade.

 

Transcript:

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

Writer Slams Media (hard) for Lack of Integrity

I’ve been waiting for a piece like this for quite a while. This guys’s dead on, and he’s a Democrat newspaper writer to boot, so no right wing conspiracy here. This election and economic crisis has left the media pale shills for the Democratic party, so far gone that they can’t turn back. Which is why the new media will soon take their place. Which is also why talk radio is a target of the Democrat congress in the next few months with the Fairness Doctrine.

Check it out. If you only read one thing this week, this guy’s machine-gun tirade is dead on. Gives the drive-by media a little bit of return fire.

Bonus – Media Study out today showed McCain getting much more negative coverage than Obama. I was shocked….not by the study, but that they wasted time even doing one.

Because that’s what honorable people do.  Honest people tell the truth even when they don’t like the probable consequences.  That’s what honesty means .  That’s how trust is earned. :

The Presidential Debate Drinking Game

Main Street, Hope, Golden Parachutes, Change My Friends...

Update: Politico says much better what I’m saying below
“The Worst Debate Ever” 

Obama and McCain both are men with large life stories, asking to lead the country at a large moment. With one more debate to go, could someone turn the telescope around?

Original Post – After yet another talking-point filled presidential debate tonight that is occuring during the most troubled era of many of our lifetimes, turning it into a drinking game may be the only responsible thing to do as a citizen.

There’s really no other purpose to these debates, we can read line-by-line their answers on their websites. They are carefully scripted, focus-group tested, and never deviated from. Whatever the question asked was doesn’t matter. The same answer, the same joke, the same one-liner, will be repeated over and over again. Keep those beers and shot glasses handy. If they’re talking about the economy be especially careful about using “Golden Parachutes” or you may end up in the ER before the night is over.

Tonight's Drudge Headline

The only logical solution is to add a third-party candidate into the debate, just to hear one new idea or to have somone challenge someone else on something. Anything. If this is the best America can offer up, we’ll need to start working on better drinking games that last all week anyways.

Politico sums it up pretty nicely with their debate analysis:

These days, it may seem that if your “change” is not “fundamental,” and you do not “fundamentally” disagree with your opponent, then you aren’t running for president.

Fox News’ panel sums it very well here, calling the debate a disservice to the campaigns and an utter waste of our time.
