Re: McCain-Palin's scientific view of oil exploration
Experts estimate that within our off-shore borders and Alaska there may be enough oil to support us for 60 more years.

I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.''
