Senators McCain and Obama: Pimps of Cheney-Bush energy policies by Chelle Stockman

Tired of the climbing prices of Gas at the pumps?  Wait, there's more to follow.  Your water resources are dwindling, your food resources in jeopardy and that's nothing compared to the "environmental allergies" cloaked under names such as the "flu-season".  All are related to Liquid Natural Gas, boys and girls.  Yup, LNG, the new "alternative" fuel, both John McCain and Barack Obama are making possible. 

200 years of supplies(!) they tell us. Oh joy, 200 years of more war to fuel our levels of consumption.  They promise us more green ($$$) energy.

Sources in the United States for LNG can be found in the shale lands, deep within coal mines (methane gas, anyone?), and on earth's crust beneath the ocean floors (we want the artic caps to melt so we can get to the methane on the ocean floors.). 

Both John McCain and Barack Obama ignored the science pertaining to carbon based fuels figuring that Natural Gas would be a friendlier commodity to oil.  We have exhausted our black oil resources, they tell us; but hell, we have gobs of natural gas!  So this is their idea of "Alternative" energy and a profitable long-term plan they refer to as a solution.

Both of these men have said they were against pork in legislation and in bills, but this is rather like a mating call.  They lie to us via and when they make there case prior to voting and when they don't vote, they let the others lie for them.  I hope you all watched this morning's House session from the Transportation Committee on C-Span. (4-24-2008)

The House members doing the bidding for LNG were so upset about our Coast Guard- their ineffectiveness.  Seems we don't have enough of them or enough of their ships to do what the Coast Guard is supposed to do and while allowing them (diverting them) to escort the LNG ships into port. So why don't we redistribute the cash in order to better equip and train our Coast Guard to do not only the job they are supposed to do, but also to do the job of being an escort to private corporations who ignore environmental responsibility. 

The threat the Congressional supporters of the Energy Bills of Cheney and Bush issue to us, will go like this: if our government doesn't seize full control of this now and begin the funding process, all the control and profits will go to private companies.  Like they ever cared one way or another.

Wake up people.  John McCain and Barack Obama are not on the up and up.  John is working the Republicans while Barack is working the Democrats.  It reminds me of George 41 and Bill 42, all over again, only more nefarious than before. 

They sell it, you boys and girls buy it. Don't say I didn't warn you.
