AQ is a minor threat that was blown out of proportion by Bush-Cheney. A bunch of guys in a cave in Afganistan with no army, no navy, and no air force are not a threat to a country of 300 million people. We need new leadership and a new direction in America. | Solar and wind power are inefficient, and irrelevant to this topic. It doesn't require leadership to sell you on putting corn in your gas tank. Just a salesman.
Perhaps you can explain this "no threat to a country of 300 million people" to that big fucking hole in the ground in NYC?
We might need new leadership, but it sure as Hell isn't anyone that thinks like YOU.
