Rush Limbaugh lost all my respect when he called on Republicans to vote for Hilary to sabotage Obama's reputation by prolonging the primary.
And I'm far left and my dad is far right so he listens to republican radio shows and I hear what they say. A lot of the views are based on differing principles in what you think should be right or wrong (Obama being friends with people who are anti-American and Muslim extremists bothers some people a lot, alright), but then there's stuff from the right I find pretty annoying, like I heard the claim that "environmentally-friendly" was a left-wing scam to fool customers into buying their overpriced products and screwing over companies in the process, hurting the economy.
Not to flame the right-wing, because I feel all the arguments based on actual opinion are very valid, and I know democrats slander as well, but I'm kind of just venting about how some of this influence is carried out.
operation CHAOS lol that made me laugh so hard, didn't really do much though Im sure, Im just a cold and uncaring bastard after I found out that 1/6 my family is making their living by scamming the government, when I know for a fact that they were normally before they "needed" medication, and they keep telling us we got lucky, wtf we are middle class. going to college, and taking out lots of loans and getting a job isn't luck its hard work.
Maybe you should watch some of Stossel his focus isn't politics, its more like normal news stories but he always buts a right spin instead of lefties, hes not much of an accuser.
And yes both sides do slander alot but thats pollitics.
Depends what you mean on that environmentally friendly, if by that you mean ethonol then yes, if all the corn in the US was made into ethonal it would support 16% of our gas supply, let alone the fact that ethonol goes bad decently fast, and that breathing in ethonol fumes is worse than gas fumes, along with the fact that havervesting all that corn and turning it into ethonol would take more energy than we would get out of it. Hydrogen power or electric cars one will proably have a future but we are going to need to switch to nuclear power before that, because we currently get hydrogen out of fossil fuels and the process releases ~ the same amount of pollutents, plus then we have transportation difficuties and all sorts of other problems, and the other solution is to get it from water, which we would currently get by heating the water with yet again fossil fuels, which means the first law of thermodynamics says we lose
, we really need some nuclear power then Im all for hydrogen powered cars, cause they would be cheaper and more environmentally good.
