BLZFAN4LIFE Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Leave it to the Government to reinvent the light bulb.
UConn James Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 The technology in traditional "incandescent" bulbs is more than a century old. Such bulbs waste most of the electricity that feeds them, turning it into heat. The 100-watt bulb, in particular, produces so much heat that it's used in Hasbro's Easy-Bake Oven. The Easy-Bake Oven voting bloc is huge, I tell you.... HUGE!!
Gary M Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Simply because of this. This won't help him either. http://news.yahoo.com/s/dailycaller/20110517/pl_dailycaller/nearly20percentofnewobamacarewaiversaregourmetrestaurantsnightclubsfancyhotelsinnancypelosie28099sdistrict;_ylt=Ark0A3c2nwTwujLS5.YjQW0nHL8C;_ylu=X3oDMTYxNXZuaW11BGFzc2V0A2RhaWx5Y2FsbGVyLzIwMTEwNTE3L25lYXJseTIwcGVyY2VudG9mbmV3b2JhbWFjYXJld2FpdmVyc2FyZWdvdXJtZXRyZXN0YXVyYW50c25pZ2h0Y2x1YnNmYW5jeWhvdGVsc2lubmFuY3lwZWxvc2llMjgwOTlzZGlzdHJpY3QEY2NvZGUDZ21wZQRjcG9zAzUEcG9zAzUEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yaWVzBHNsawNuZWFybHkyMHBlcmM-
KD in CA Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Yes he will because the majority are too stupid to understand or care.
ieatcrayonz Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 Yes he will because the majority are too stupid to understand or care. I think they will get smarter when they have to buy this crap. I realize my house is bigger than most people's home town, but $50 a light bulb is still steep. I ran a quick inventory on my property and discovered the number of 100 watt bulbs on premises is 194,368 plus 4,973 in my garages. At $50 per that is $9,967,050 which is not that much money but enough to at least notice. Plus this crap takes Sven forever to install and I am paying him hourly. This does not even take into account 60 watt bulbs which are numerous and the whole aesthetics of the thing. If the average house has even 10% of my bulbage that means over $990k per household which will probably impact some people's budgets and tick them off. With the price of gas and fuel for Fleer Jets having gone up, people are probably ticked.
Peace Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Yes he will because the majority are too stupid to understand or care. He will win because the Republican field is so pathetic that even they can't beat him.

This law will be overturned once a bunch of connected rich bitches have to put fluorescents in their vanities and see what their skin looks like under their "green" lighting. And thanks for reminding me of one more reason I hate GWB.
Nanker Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 He will win because the Republican field is so pathetic that even they can't beat him. Yes. The Repubs need a brighter lightbulb.
IDBillzFan Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 He will win because the Republican field is so pathetic that even they can't beat him. Just out of curiousity, which Republican would you think is not so pathetic that they could beat Obama? I'm not asking as a wiseass. I'm genuinely interested in your answer.
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 What gets me is those CFL's... Everybody it seems throws them in the regular garbage! Anyway... What is wrong with just installing dimmer switches everywhere? I have lightbulbs going on 10+ years!

I go down to the river and feed them to the flying carp.

I'm genuinely interested in your answer. I don't know much about Pawlenty. Romney is considered by many to be the front runner, but I won't even bother researching him, because the right wing has already eliminated him. Bauchman is in the Palin category, maybe worse. President Bush would have a much better chance, if it were constitutional for him to run. The X factor is if Hillary Clinton decides to run.

Adam Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Chris Christie. Paul Ryan. Romney is the leading candidate at the moment and I don't think he has a prayer. If Romney somehow got the nomination, what do you think his chances would be against Obama?
KD in CA Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Chris Christie. Paul Ryan. Romney is the leading candidate at the moment and I don't think he has a prayer. I have zero faith in Americans to be smart enough to elect a guy like Chris Christie. Paul Ryan scares the establishment too much so he will never get out of the box.
Rob's House Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 If Romney somehow got the nomination, what do you think his chances would be against Obama? That would be tough for Obama because Romney looks better than he does in front of a camera.
Peace Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 If Romney somehow got the nomination, what do you think his chances would be against Obama? Of the realistic choices, he's got the best chance because he's a centrist conservative. I doubt the country will be ready to put a Mormon in charge. Mormons believe in crazier **** than Christians.

So what if Romney has the same religion as Osama? Not all Mormons are terrorists.
