Another statement from the interview earlier this year that Barack Obama gave to the San Fransisco Chronicle, where he also said that his plan would bankrupt the Coal Industry.

You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.

The Obama plan in a nutshell:

• Raise your taxes
• Raise your electric bill
• Raise your gasoline bill
• Raise your home heating bill
• Raise your taxes, again
• And, yet again for good measure

Why? Because The One knows better than you how you should spend your hard-earned money. And, because he wants a big ol’ bunch of it to give away to those that don’t pay income taxes.

Putting Big Coal out of business could bankrupt our economy. Coal is one of our most precious strategic energy reserves. We already know how Obama feels about those that mine this precious resource — those bitter folk who cling to their guns and religion. But, what about all you voters outside the inner city but not in rural areas? Obama, he say — “I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me.”

So, all ye bitter gun and religion-clingin’ folk in small-town America, and all ye who deign to live outside the tenements of the inner cities or the skyscrapers of the elites — it’s time to elect a president that isn’t hell-bent on the destruction of America as we know it, who isn’t hell-bent on CHANGE for change’s sake, who doesn’t believe in Redistribution of Wealth, who doesn’t believe that an infant born alive in a botched abortion should be left to die as that was the original intent of the “mother”, time for one who doesn’t use thugs and thuggish acts to stifle contrary opinion.

It’s time to vote for John McCain.

Don’t get discouraged — it’s what they want.

Don’t get fatigued — it’s not over ’till it’s over.

VOTE — and take someone with ya! Lot’s o’ someones!
