Disregard my comments, I was talking about ethanol in terms of corn production, which seems to be the direction people are pushing in-which is a horrible idea.
Ethanol production involving switchgrass or sugarcane is something I don't know much about.
Obama is going to of course not be against corn production as his state is a corn producing state but making ethanol doesn't seem like it has too be all or none and as I've pionted out, there are much better ways than corn of doing this. If a farmer can still turn a better buck on corn though as an outcome of this, I say good on em.
I normally don't get into internet politics arguments, because I already know who im voting for, but since Palin got involved, it took a new personal level for me. I used to work for the Defenders of Wildlife. I used to be trained to curse her name every chance I got, because she pays money for people killing wolves. This is a total democrat "the world is perfect" viewpoint. Those people I worked for never realized that those wolves are fucking abundant. So people like to hunt, so what. She has no less experience than anyone just because she governs a small amount of people. A state is a state. And even if I wasn't already voting for McCain, I'd vote for him to cancel out the crack smoking shitheads next door.
i find this post really sad and this is in no way an attack on you but just seeing the reality of the team sport politics in america always kind of bums me out. i know sports are fun, i know cheering for your team is fun, i know debating politics and critical thinking about issues isn't that much fun, but god damn, please give it a try.
she was obviously not selected for her credentials and was selected to pander to rednecks, pro lifers, women, evangelicals, hilary's base, etc... it's a shallow and shitty move that just makes me feel the republicans are making more of a mockery of the system than they have in the last 8 years (and i'm not republican basher, i voted for both bush on his first term). do you really think that anyone that lives outside of this country takes her appointment serious? do you really think they'd take her serious in the event of Mccain killing over? do you think she could assemble a crowd of 200,000 in berlin and deliver an inspiring, historic speach? do you think the rest of the world will take us serious after fucking up so bad the last 8 years, having a real candidate as an option but then letting team sports win out again and electing a party puppet with furniture comercial steez and some redneck bimbo who doesn't even know what a VP is?
and what makes you think that crackheads vote and why do you think they'd be democrats?
and why are you so happy with the policy's of the last 8 years? what's one thing that's gone right? it's cleary time for a new approach and the republicans just aren't putting one on the table. they are actually putting a worst choice than bush, at least he can half ass give a speach. if the dems had run shit into the ground this bad, i'd vote republican in a heartbeat. who cares what party it is, they both give away the t-shirts and stickers.
come on man, take some more pride in our freedoms than that...
