Read <A HREF="http://www.jedreport.com/2008/11/ohios-gop-senator-mccain-will.html" REL="nofollow">this post from the Jed Report</A> for a full explanation of this last desperate lie from McCain:<BR/><BR/>"But just three years ago on the floor of the United States Senate, John McCain's Republican colleague George Voinovich of Ohio took to the floor to argue against a proposal by McCain to curb greenhouse gas emissions. McCain's proposal, Voinovich said, would 'put coal out of business' and cost thousands of jobs, an argument that McCain did not contest.<BR/><BR/>"In fact, McCain agreed that his plan would require sacrifice, but he also argued (correctly) that in the long-run, America would be better off. In other words, he made the exact same arguments as Barack Obama -- and as you can see above, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP6iqcrHvsE" REL="nofollow">it was all on video</A>" [Jed Lewison, "<A HREF="http://www.jedreport.com/2008/11/ohios-gop-senator-mccain-will.html" REL="nofollow">Ohio's GOP Senator: McCain 'Will Put Coal out of Business,'</A>" The Jed Report, 2008.11.02].<BR/><BR/>Straight Talk Express... right.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-64662297734711895142008-11-03T07:19:00.000-07:002008-11-03T07:19:00.000-07:00I certainly hope McCain wins.Obama is saying he wi...I certainly hope McCain wins.<BR/>Obama is saying he will bankrupt the coal industry!<BR/>Cory, would you care to tell him what BigStone uses for energy to make our electricity?<BR/>Maybe they'll have to convert BigStone to nuclear.<BR/>Oh, I forgot Obama doesn't like that either.

Giles, Johannsen and Bohl, in that order, Jerry Johnson and Mitch Fargen ahead of Lange and Stricherz, Russell Olson over Scott Parsley (Parsley should have run for the House) and of course, Herseth and probably Tim Johnson, although he isn't qualified to serve anymore. You'll be surprised at your Obama pick on Tuesday night too. Comeback McCain will pull it out and Independents will help him do it. Sorry, Cory, but if I were a gambler, I think I could take you for a couple of bucks Tuesday night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-25820653096424987202008-11-02T17:15:00.000-07:002008-11-02T17:15:00.000-07:00You're right, Dan: solving problems is more import...You're right, Dan: solving problems is more important than party. And at the county level, I don't think party affiliation makes much difference in terms of getting things done. We might do better if County Commission were a non-partisan race, just like school board (and city commission, right?). <BR/><BR/>But sometimes, party politics is wrapped up with finding practical solutions. The state and national Republican party have peddled such a bogus, divisive, and destructive politics this year that the party as a whole needs a good whoopin'. I'm not just playing the Democrat mouthpiece. I sincerely believe that a <A HREF="http://madvilletimes.blogspot.com/2008/10/operation-chaos-ii-proposal-for-gop.html" REL="nofollow">serious defeat for the Republican party up and down the ticket</A> would be the wake-up call it needs to ditch its empty and misleading rhetoric and get back to the kind of practical, positive government you advocate.<BR/><BR/>So yes, Dan, as good as you'll be on the County Commission, if another competent Dem had run, I might have picked her or him over you or Chris. A serious trip to the woodshed for the whole GOP might do as much good for the country as sending you to the courthouse to figure out how to get our roads paved.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-32840957559366263662008-11-02T16:51:00.000-07:002008-11-02T16:51:00.000-07:00Honestly, if everyone would worry less about party...Honestly, if everyone would worry less about party affiliations and philosophies and more about the needs of the people elected officials are chosen to represent, we would have a better world. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are always right (I'm not making a pun either). We were given minds to decide what is best and hearts to feel what is right. I've always felt that strict partisan politics is unnecessary in county government and probably one of the greatest obstacles to good overall government at any level. Seriously, Cory, I feel that you and I respect each other, but if two more Democrats had been running for county commission, I wonder if you would have endorsed a Republican.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-66991458341753688442008-11-02T15:28:00.000-07:002008-11-02T15:28:00.000-07:00Anon 2:18: I think my County Commission endorsemen...Anon 2:18: I think my County Commission endorsements should make clear that is not the case.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-27480102777636906722008-11-02T15:04:00.000-07:002008-11-02T15:04:00.000-07:00wow...is it hate on republican day or what?i know ...wow...is it hate on republican day or what?<BR/><BR/>i know i'm voting republican, i don't want to go to hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-54543871804952805602008-11-02T13:18:00.000-07:002008-11-02T13:18:00.000-07:00So I understand your upset with the decision of th...So I understand your upset with the decision of the PUC.
