With so many 6th district people tied of M. Bachmann and her antics in Washington her lies, her "ideas", it would do you good to look at Aubrey Immelmans website and read his views. He is not a yes man, he is a very honest person which we see little of in politics these days and he is a listener. We need that kind of person representing us. It would be unique to say the least to have someone who really cares about the people who sent him to Washington to speak for them. Check out his website which he posted here already under his own name

A couple of questions he must first answer correctly.
1) What is the capitol of Minnesota?
2) Where will the RNC hold its convention?

Just because an energy source is clean and renewable does not automatically make it bad (pass this on to your controller's, Rush and Sean). The simple fact that you can't come to grips with this is why you will lose the energy argument every time.
Need to get a grip on the facts-

clean???? well it takes plenty of burnt carbons to make E-85 if not more than its worth as energy.
Read up.

Basically its very expensive, unreliable and HEAVILY subsidized energy.

Thats why all the dems(even the Messiah Obama) are caving for the need to drill.

some people can't afford one.
Which is just one of many reasons the car culture is "sofa king re-tar did"(I saw that in another post regarding Ms. Bachmann's geographic abilities).

The discussion was about wind and solar and the statement that just because an energy source was clean and renewable did not automatically make it bad. I did NOT say it automatically made it good. I can agree on many of the problems with ethanol.

The biggest problem is that if someone tomorrow unveiled the perfect energy source: clean, free, unlimited and immediately available and Al Gore was the spokesman for it you would still say: "Yea, but we need to drill more"

Your political biases prevent rational thinking. Last night, T Boone Pickens (Republican oil man), Richard Branson (Left wing, capitalist kook) and Ed Begley (So far to the left that Branson looks like a Republican) all agreed on the merits of Picken's plan. Yet here, all you right wing nut jobs find fault with everything, except "Drill More!"

In response to almost $4 a gallon gas, Nancy Pelosi sent Congress on vacation for the rest of the summer without a vote on more domestic oil drilling. On the bright side, 74 new post offices were named!

But House Republicans -- in an unprecedented move called 'opposing the Democrats'-- were back on the floor Monday to continue their protest which started Friday when dozens of Republicans, in response to Pelosi's decision to adjourn, took to the floor in protest instead of solving the energy problem by inflating their tires! The Comprehensive Tire Pressure Gauge Plan is so stupid an idea, Obama came up with it.

After it was painfully explained to him that cars don't run on air, Obama changed his mind again, at first pretending to support more drilling, then on Monday declaring that he favors tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve .

In another sign of how wonderful diplomacy always works, Iran is now threatening to shut the Straits of Hormuz, so draining our emergency reserves and making America more dependant on Muslim fanatics for oil makes perfect sense to Obama. Maybe he needs to adjust his airhead pressure a little.

In line with the brilliance of Obamanomics, Democrats argue hysterically that increasing the supply of oil via drilling won't lower gas prices, but decreasing the supply by draining the SPR will! Interestingly, oil in the SPR comes mysteriously from ... drilling, which comes as a shock to Democrats who think it all came from wind power.

Proving the idiocy of draining the SPR to lower gas prices, Pelosi strongly favors it. She says she's against drilling because "I am trying to save the planet; I am trying to save the planet" -- further evidence of the dangers of a toxin found in Botox. As Pelosi explains, exploration and drilling to reduce the price at the pump is bad because it "misleads" the American people into "thinking it's going to reduce the price at the pump." We can't drill our way out of this, so let's drain our way out!(Democrat slogan: Drain Here, Drain Now, Pay More!)

Back on July 7, when gas was averaging 4 bucks a gallon, Obama stated he adamantly opposed tapping the SPR because it should not be touched except in a genuine emergency -- supply disruptions, terrorist attacks, shooting war, or dropping 9 points in the polls.

Four weeks later, with gas averaging below 4 bucks a gallon, Obama changes his mind again, adamantly opposing his own position in July. Last week, Hussein denounced offshore drilling as a GOP "scheme," so he adopts it a day later. Now he says he's for and against it.

The reason we even have a Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the first place is because we don't drill enough domestically. And while we're on the subject of lying to the American people, Obama claims the SPR drawdowns in 1991 and 2005 are good reasons we should drain away the SPR now, even though the U.S. Energy Department's own website makes clear the drawdowns were linked to actual or potential supply disruptions, not falling poll numbers:

No, T Boone Pickens; billionaire, oil drilling, right wing Republican wants windmills and solar panels. I am just trying to keep you up to date on the latest developments in conservative right wing think. Now, before you rip me again, be careful, because Rush may come out for windmills next week and you'll be erecting one in your backyard.

ummmm, Your a few days late on a dollar short on T-Boone.

T-boone owns a bunch of windmills and is already heavily invested in it. If we follow through on a cap and trade policy he makes billions.....its all business for T-Boone.

But you keep acting like you have new fresh information you birdbrain

Holy cow, 3 sentences, reasonably coherent and all linked to a common thought.

You have made such progress Livin. I could not be more proud of you.

How can you be so cynical about the motivations of one of your right wing brothers? He said he already has all the money he needs and just wants to do something to make this a better country for all of us.

Why is it that whenever a clean and renewable energy source is discussed you all act like it is radio-active; whoops, I forgot you all like radio-active. I am OK with off shore drilling done in a responsible manner, I am OK with expanding nuclear and I also know the best long term solution is doing all we can to develop clean renewable sources and I am OK with subsidizing the path to that the same way we subsidize out current dirty, non-renewable sources now.

You guys oppose common sense because your wacked out political biases prevent you from looking at things on their own merits. And that is why you will always be part of the problem and not the solution.
