Talking point du jour -

[grahamhgreen]

New -

+ The Dow-Jones was at 10,700 when Bush took office – will he be the first president to have the market remain unchanged under 8 years of failed economic policies known as 'de-regulation', 'free-trade', and the 'ownership society'?

+ Nuclear power cannot replace oil – there is only 20 years of uranium left on the planet.

+ We need to use our existing energy structure to produce renewable alternatives while we still have the abundant energy to do it.

+ 3 trillion dollars for the war in Iraq and war profiteering (war-whoring) are destroying the US economy.



Old -

+ Palin claims to be a female pit bull (subtext - bitch), yet she cannot defend herself against Charlie Gibson.

+ The oil companies said - in testimony before congress - that if we drill in ANWAR, they will sell the oil to China, or whoever. This policy will not reduce the cost of gas in America.

+ Against Christ's teachings, Palin subscribes to preemptive war - this is like saying that if you were walking down the street and you became worried that a passerby might attack you, you think you have the right to beat him to death with a baseball bat.

+ The Bush's and Bin Laden's have been in business for over 20 years - we need to examine the money flow within these connections.

+ Palin's daughter is a victim of her own failed policy of abstinence only sex ed.

Rinse and repeat...

1. Do you have a source for this?

"Nuclear power cannot replace oil – there is only 20 years of uranium left on the planet."

I can use that one in a big way, and it will pack a lot more punch if I can back it up with one or more articles. I can do "the googles" myself if you don't have them handy, but no sense in doing it if you already have one or more links available.

Thanks! :hi:

3. I got that from Thom Hartmann off his radio show...

He wrote a book called "The last hours of ancient sunlight" - I imagine it's in there...

He said this is if we replace all oil consumption with nukes

4. Thanks!

That points me in a direction for further digging. :hi:

2. We can't change talking points, like we do socks

we need to pick 2 or 3 good ones and hammer on them for the next 6 weeks.

My vote

- McCain/Palin are dishonest

- McCain/Palin out of touch with working America

- McCain/Palin vote for them if you want perpetual war

[grahamhgreen]

5. Very good for an overall message, but I'd like them better if they had more sting like

- McCain/Palin are dishonest, she (they?) did vote for the bridge to nowhere, she (they are?) IS A BRIDGE TO NOWHERE! (or maybe - + Mccain/Palin – building a bridge to nowhere)

- McCain/Palin out of touch with working America, that's why they keep shipping our jobs overseas.

- McCain/Palin vote for them if you want SPEND YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE on perpetual war

.... something like that?

I really like that first one - I will re-post

6. IS the statement about Uranium true???

And if it is, WTF have I been doing that I don't know that??
