Also, there is no way I can vote for Obama. What he would do in terms of raising taxes, new spending, and socializing medicine would completely destroy this country as far as I'm concerned.

Lifting the drilling ban will not help for years to come
I agree that raising taxes also concerns me, but I consider going to war and killing people a higher priority that should be avoided, especially when the taxes I pay as well as money we don't have goes toward paying for it.

The deficit is one of the causes of the devaluation of the dollar, which is one of causes of the high price of gas. Lifting the drilling ban will not help for years to come, and only allows oil barons to purchase leases that they will sit on, like they do with millions of acres in the gulf that have not been explored.

Romney was very high on my list for President. He has business acumen, government service experience, and management experience. He is very intelligent and is a conservative.
The only negative is the reported lack of chemistry between Romney and McCain. But you don't have to love a person to work with him.

Speaking of being back on the topic of McCain's VP...
It's too bad Fred Thompson didn't garner any more support than he did. God knows I'd much rather have him running (as President or VP), but Romney would do just fine IMO.
How is that for a Conservative DREAM TICKET ticket for 2012 though?
Romney/Thompson.
I get giddy thinking about it!
