Vote Romney. The process needs to end soon. Yes he has problems but he's the most conservative person who has a shot to win.

Andrew Breitbart Dead at 43

43! much too young for anyone! Apparently 'natural causes'. What causes one to die 'naturally' at 43?

Although I was not in agreement with his political views I can say he certainly was an excellent 'agitator' and commentator from the right.

And, again, politics aside, he was a person who loved and was loved by his family and friends.

Dave



I think natural causes just means he wasn't murdered or hit by a car. Could be heart attack or stroke.

I support raising some taxes and reducing spending.

But where is Obama's plan the article mentions that actually cuts spending (i.e. not reducing the rate of spending growth)?

More On Limbaugh And Advertisers

Posted By Patrick Keafer
Darian Rachal said:



"The situation demonstrates the power of the marketplace over politically inspired efforts to drive an iconic conservative radio voice off the air. Once again Limbaugh has defeated his enemies and has humbled them into the dust."

Not 100% accurate. Limbaugh put his foot into his mouth and paid the price. Some of the hubub afterward no doubt was egged on by liberal groups but that is part of the market!

Since we conservatives believe in personal responsibility we should point the finger at the idiot who did the damage. Rush Limbaugh.

Removing Limbaugh

Removing the nastiness and cleansing the airways...

That is ridiculous. The federal government can only punish shows which are obscene and Limbaugh's show doesn't fall under the description that has been determined by the courts. Any attempt to remove him by the government would be a REALLY bad precedent. Liberals with any interest in free speech should be ashamed for advancing such ideas.

Cap the speculation. Drill baby drill doesn't cut it...

Your oil speculation argument has already been debunked by CNN, T Boone Pickens, and others. Give it up.

US Oil Imports Down/Highest Production

US oil imports have dropped and domestic production is the highest it's been since 2003:

Which president has fared the worst on gas prices?:

Note the typo on the bottom president's list 8)

Yes, but it takes years before production comes online once a permit is issued and permitting is down under Obama. So which administration is responsible for the increased production? The last one.

Short Term Lowering of Gas Prices

Posted By Patrick Keafer
Rod Kaufman said:

Any other ideas other than it's Obama's fault?


Since you believe speculation is a significant part of gas prices, why not announce immediate approval of oil drilling permits on public lands through an expedited emergency process? This will give a psychological bump to investors now which will decrease the price of oil.

Informal Poll

Tony Aguire said:

Ron Paul or Obama


put yer pick in your thread title for easy counts...



Tough one. Ron Paul would isolate us from the rest of the world and threaten our national security. Obama is bankrupting us and threatening the future for my children. I guess if I had to pick it would be Paul, but not by much.
