Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama are each touting a plan to save America from the looming energy crisis, but they're providing too many sunny outlooks and not enough tough candor, Walter Shapiro writes in Salon. "The Ten Commandments of politics now began, 'Thou shalt not talk honestly to the American people about sacrifice,'"

McCain is pushing detachment from foreign oil as key to his energy plan, but the Arizona senator talks little of the "wrenching transition" needed to free the US from Middle Eastern dependence.

The first thing that leaps out at you these days at John McCain's Web site is his ballyhooed energy plan "to ensure our national security, economic prosperity and clean environment by breaking our dependence on foreign oil." But there is a word missing in both the online summary of McCain's "Lexington Plan" and his late June speech announcing it -- the word "sacrifice." For all of McCain's patriotism, for all his boasting about "straight talk," there is barely a whiff in the Arizona senator's public comments that the wrenching transition away from Middle Eastern oil will inconvenience any American or require anything more arduous than voting Republican in November.

I'm back out of here. Have fun boys.

So davie; your first (old) article slams both candidates and cites it's source at the bottom as the Salon news website and item that is your second article. And your second article clearly defiles nobama! What are you trying to accomplish? Liberal suicide? Too funny. Obvious now that you don't even read the crap you copy and post!

" Obama offered a "gauzy" Olympic spot promising 5 million green-collar jobs with the help of global warming, but has mostly downplayed the unavoidable, painful sacrifices to come."

"Yet Obama avoids spelling out what sacrifice might entail when it comes to energy. Instead, chastened by national polls showing that roughly two-thirds of the voters favor the gimmicky nostrum of expanded offshore oil drilling, Obama backtracked from his blanket opposition."

Thanks for providing more evidence of liberal flip-flopping.

Have you gone completely insane now, davie? You've really shot yourself in the foot this time.

BTW...you have never been "back outta here"; you old multi-username cheater.

You think I posted something without reading it? I knew what it said. The point is that still neither side is being honest.

As that one poster would say, leave it to a Republican..................

Peace

"Peace". There's that surrenderists appeasement word again. Ya just never hear liberals say "victory".
