McCain: No idea how to lower the price of Oil.

In an interview with Greta Vansustern on Fox News John McCain said,"If someone can tell me how to get the price of a barrel of oil down, I'm willing to listen."

OK, start drilling for oil in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.  This raises the supply of oil on the world market. Higher supply levels lead to lower costs.

This is one of those things about politicians that makes you wonder who is running the country.  Surely he knows the basic economic law of supply and demand.  So why would he say such a thing?  If he doesn't know how to lower the cost of oil, how can he be our next president?

    You idiot! We don't need more oil we need less! It's going to eventually run out, so what then Einstein? We need to switch to alternative fuel sources now or we are going to crash and burn! I don't mean to insult you this harshly because, yes McCain should now the basic rule of supply and demand but I don't think anyone should even be considering McCain for president in the first place!

      And you're calling McCain the idiot?? We need less oil? Have you lost your mind? The U.S.A is in serious economic trouble and by the time we develop "alternative fuel sources," we will be in the middle of a depression. We won't be able to keep our homes, feed our families, or SURVIVE. Woman, you're the idiot!

    The debate continues regarding which candidate is best for our country, McCain or Obama. Of the THOUSANDS of people I've talked to over the past year and a half, the vast majority do not like or want either one. The are looking for anyone else they can trust. Invariably, they say I have their vote. Unfortunately, the national media refuses to give an independent any time, and therefore, any chance. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy to keep saying, "An independent doesn't have a chance." Lou Dobbs said, "This may be the year an indpendent could take the White House." That's true, but only if that candidate is given a chance by letting the American people decide for themselves instead of being conditioned Pavlovian-style by the media.
