We desperately need this man in the White House.We need to end the corruption! No other viable candidate is willing to take on corporate corruption.Our government has been up for sale and it is time for the people to take it back! All I want for Christmas is an Edwards victory in Iowa and an Edwards presidency for real Americans in 2009.I want us take our country back! Merry Christmas one and all!

3. LOL! How typical that a Hillary supporter would think Big Coal was the answer!
http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=flirting_with_liquid_coal:

Clinton's reasons for supporting liquid coal are harder to divine. Like Obama, she's compiled a generally pro-environment record, but also like him, she's surrendered to polluter lobbyists on some key issues -- for example, supporting the logging company International Paper in burning highly toxic tires at a major facility in upstate New York. But there are no major coal mining interests in New York (outside of the New York-based hedge funds who own a large share of the power and mining industry). Nevertheless, she's consistently supported subsidies for coal, if not with the gusto that Obama has brought to the cause. She usually explains it by touting what she says is coal liquefaction's ability to reduce America's reliance on foreign oil (economists doubt this proposition; liquid coal is so expensive to produce that it's likely to only displace domestic sources of oil, which have significantly higher production costs than Saudi, Venezuelan or African oil). Still, she seems to feel divided on the issue; when the Senate voted on the Tester amendment, she stood on the Senate floor and waited until almost all the other senators had cast their votes before announcing her support.

In contrast, all the other major Democratic presidential candidates are on record opposing liquid coal subsidies. A spokesman for John Edwards, for example, explained the candidate's opposition to liquid coal: "He believes that federal resources should support research into clean renewable energy." This is an important point. The cost of reducing greenhouse gases from carbon-rich coal will always greatly exceed that of producing that energy from sources that are clean to start with, like wind and solar power. Indeed, wind power already often out-competes new coal plants on a financial basis. With clean energy still in relative technological infancy, huge efficiency gains remain on the table to be snapped up for relatively little investment. A dollar of government investment in clean energy is almost sure to yield a greater eco-bang for the buck than any additional subsidies for King Coal -- no matter how green the end product.

15. Hmmm...
we may all get that lump of coal...



Hillary Clinton will only give us more of the same. There is no difference between this vote and the 2002 vote to authorize military action against Iraq. It does virtually the same thing.
"Seventy-six Senators voted for the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment which gives Bush the ability to go into Iran.-- Hillary Clinton voted for it....
This amendment was pushed by the administration through Senator Kyl and Senator Lieberman. Senator Webb called the amendment "Cheney's fondest pipe dream." http://thesubversivegarden.blogspot.com/2007/09/assclowns-of-week-joe-lieberman-and.html Thanks Senator Clinton
