Silver Platter

A couple of stories on KFAQ this morning. If handled correctly, these are sure to hand the election to the Republicans on a silver platter.

The first story involves oil. President Bush (about time) is going to lean on congress real hard to get them to approve drilling off shore for oil. For those unaware, oil is what is used to make gas. You know? The stuff that's hovering close to $4.00 a barrel; in other places much higher.

Not to be outdone, Nancy Pelosi is coming out against the measure saying it sounded like more rewarding the oil companies.

If I were a Republican, I'd jump all over this story. For once, hold the libs feet to the fire. Make them accountable for refusing to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, especially during a time of war. Put it real simple to the American people. Those not voting for domestic drilling and petrol production are putting the agenda of radical environmentalists above the needs of families striving to make ends meet. Even Amnesty John is warming up to the idea of off shore drilling. Come on Republicans, stop playing nice with the libs and make them answer for their votes or lack thereof.

The second story involves Barack Obama's view on Public Terrorist #1 Osama Bin Laden. If captured, he states, OBL should be brought to the United States to receive a fair trial in our civilian justice system. I guess military justice and a hanging OBL from a gallows wrapped in pig skin is too much for Mr. Obama/Chamberlain.

I hope Republicans use this story to show the obvious lack of experience the Democrat candidate has on foreign policy. Somebody please remind Senator Obama our enemies aren't a gang of misunderstood youths needing correction. These terrorists, who murdered three thousand Americans on 9/11, are possessed by a satanic hatred of all things western. Theirs is a violent, bloodthirsty religion who will stop at nothing in conquering the entire world for Islam. If we put OBL on trial here in the states, we might as well paint a bull's eye on our country for every homicide bomber. My gosh, we've already put ourselves in enough danger with the stupid SCOTUS ruling giving constitutional rights to terrorists, how much more danger would our country put itself in bringing their leader here for trial?

These are issues real Republicans need to take note of. Real conservatives need to push the RINOS out of the way and work hard showing a difference between liberals and themselves.

But, in the past, Amnesty John has shown a disregard for conservatives. I honestly would not put it past him to, even with these issues handed to him on a silver platter, put his dislike of real Republicans above winning the White House therefore making these two issues missed opportunities.

I sure hope I'm wrong.
