Well said. McCain is a liar, a corrupt old man who would ruin this great nation of ours in every way possible. We don't write for deadenders like yourself Gideon, we're putting stuff out for the people smart enough to see through McSame's weak spin and Rovian slimeball tactics. Why do you hate America so much Gideon? RAmen Steph. Well said. McCain is a liar, a corrupt old man who would ruin this great nation of ours in every way possible.

Why do you hate America so much Gideon?

Once again, utilizing deragatory speech only turns your readers against you and creates the urge in them to prove you wrong. If argument is your goal, keep writing as you do. However, if altering the perspectives of others to agree with your own is your objective, then win with the facts and leave the deragatory comments out. Global warming is a subject that I have seen debated with great supporting facts for both sides. A group of scientists have studied the earth and the climate and found that the earth is actually (overall) cooler. I do not agree nor disagree with this point because I do not have the background to argue with scientists and their findings. However, I do agree that we need better alternative, renewable energy. And fostering invention from wherever the ideas may come from, like this 12 year old that is revolutionizing the soalr cell (http://www.beavertonvalleytimes.com/news/story.php?story_id=122109656865633500). But until we have a good alternative, we are still going to need our oil based energy and the Democrat party agrees, even Nancy Pelosi - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/17/AR2008091703425.html?hpid=topnewsenergy .
