McCain not only favors deregulation, he profits from it,
as shown by his membership in the Keating Five group of
corrupt US Senators who profited in the deregulation of
"Savings and Loans". Caught red handed, he refashioned
himself as a born-again "maverick".
Barack Obama sat on a charity board with Bill Ayers. They
live in the same part of Chicago. This is a far cry from
the intimate involvement Mr McCain had in profiting from
corruption in his publicly elected office of US Senator.
The Keating Five are relevant because the scandal mirrors
current events. Financial institutions were deregulated...
and a crisis ensued. And in the case of the Keating Five,
McCain was found profiting from the deregulation he backed.
Barack Obama was 8 years old when Bill Ayers was blowing
up government offices in the middle of the night. If there
is any, Obama's guilt is by association. McCain's guilt is
well documented, and goes to the heart of the question of
his trustworthiness as an elected public servant.

* Liberals value people, nature, access to information
* Common chemical BPA tied to diabetes, heart disease
The US cannot afford to feed or medically insure
it's citizens, but will lend money to bankers at
an interest rate of 2%, and will save the world's
biggest betting parlour - by any means necessary,
including violence. Violence such as protections
afforded to makers and buyers of the chemical BPA.
A bill before the California legislature would've
banned bisphenol A in products targeting infants.

Oil Companies are not developing many of the oil fields
they currently lease. Instead, they are hoarding leases
and "sitting" on them. Despite a sharp increase in oil
prices in recent years, the US free market discourages
drilling for oil, yet politicians claim that opening US
coastlines and wildlife refuge to more oil field leases
can reduce dependence on imported oil.
Beginning to properly maintain automobile tire pressure
can bring an immediate 3-4% decrease in the cost of gas,
but because this does not require pumping more oil, it's
dismissed out of hand.
Conservation is bad for the economy, and it doesn't fit
my lifestyle. I'm not going to check my air pressure..
I'm too busy! That would mean checking all four tires
regularly - and I might have to get down on my knees!
No way. Freedom's just another word for my ego, aka "I".
