McCain just sealed my vote

I think the Democratic Party realizes that the only ones buying their "Nuclear energy is the devil and Republicans want you to glow green" rhetoric is the bottom 5% of the education ladder.

They don't have the balls to block it anymore now that "liberal" Europe is embracing nuclear energy fully.
 
Oh, right, I forgot how responsive politicians are to negative public sentiment of late.

Pandering to lobbyists >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> giving two shits about the voting public.
 
1. He provided zero firm commitment despite being put on the spot and asked a direct question in front of the entire nation.

2. It pumps tons of money into the economy. 99% of ammunition and equipment come from American suppliers. Unlike social spending (ie: welfare) that you support, this money goes to providing work for middle class americans - not uneducated dredges popping out kids.

3. I didn't say they didn't care. I said it wasn't a top issue. Only 20% of Americans view it a top issue anymore.
 
And he's going to get Congress to go along with this...how?

All McCain is doing is election year pandering to the voters. If you think he can actually deliver on a statement like this then you're delusional.
 
Go find me the power yields on a nuclear reactor.

Also, explain this to me, why is it that the countries that don't really care about the issues the Democrats espouse are all building nuclear power plants?

Answer: They're going for the BEST solution.
 
And how does being a POW qualify you for the job of President?

Simple question: if it were an option, would you vote for Bush again? And I don't mean if it were Bush vs. Charles Manson or something absurd, I mean would you want four more years of Bush administration policy?
 
Simple. With the cost of gas going up which is not only effecting people's pocketbooks at the pump but also jacking up the costs of everything else due to trucking companies paying more, close to 70% of the people are calling for a change in our energy policies including domestic drilling AND nuclear power.

So when Democrats keep shooting down realistic fixes such as domestic drilling and nuclear, the voters take notice. THAT is what will force congress to go along eventually....the threat of being voted out of power.

McCain doesn't even have to deliver on the statement himself. He and others are putting the Democrats in the spotlight.
 
And there are all kinds of anti-nuke groups up in arms about Obama being in the pocket of the nuclear lobby, and that the trend of Dems being in the nuke lobby's pocket was started by Clinton & Gore.
