Republican Storm Message Board

i was actually looking for a place more populated but i read this and had to say something... Ok... first of all, when you mention gas prices you must not realize that our country has some of the cheapest gas in the world.  i lived in europe in 1997 and it was about 3.50-3.75 usdollars depending where you were. now it's around 8. this is not as big a deal as here because the average car gets above 40 mpg. and those are not hybrids. it's the way their economy and government is set up, it benifits the people and is moving to renewable energy decades ahead of us.  second, i don't question the values of your candidate, but voting for anyone else besides the two main nominees is throwing away your vote. lets be realistic.  third, being even more realistic, i don't think it will even matter who we vote for because these new machines they have to count elections have already been proven manipulateable to rig elections. and for some strange (coincidance?) reason there is a law against checking these machines sourse code (programming). i wonder why.  my only hope is that all of our lemmings of citizens wake up and smell the burnt hopes and dreams of america before it's too late.
