you have to realize that even though kraut is on the ‘right’ on foreign policy, he along with Mort Kondracke are liberals on other issues. Kraut even called for a carbon tax.
The Dems mantra that drilling will not do any good for 10 years is a crock. It will make immediate job creation--good paying jobs.
If I were a young, healthy, ambitious man, I would head for Alaska. You can still get free land and their jobs are hard but pay well.

I like your home page, I made part of that my tag line as soon as I heard it.

Kraut’s energy plan
Pessimistic but true.
it even touched Kinky Friedman’s heart, the liberal cowboy.
“Maybe he should try to actually listen to the speech?”
Good point. And your quote demonstrated it. Education is the biggest problem this country faces long range and his comments on energy were right on the money.
Instead of “change”, Obama will just give us more of the same when it comes to energy and education.
I hope that things change in Washington when McCain/Palin come to town. I don't think McCain is as naive as President Bush was, having the Kennedy's over for movie night. But they are fighting against a massive entrenched bureaucracy that almost single handedly destroyed the Iraq war. And McCain has poked his finger in the conservative movements eyes enough time to keep me leery.
We've seen the tremendous power that a little hope can give to the conservative cause in the last two weeks. The selection of a little known governor has galvanized conservatives in two weeks, mostly because she has been so viciously attacked by the Washington elites. But that gives us hope. Change will take a lot more work.
McCain still won't support opening ANWAR. Saxby Chamblis, my senator from Georgia, has a very high conservative rating. But he was one of the senators yucking it up with Teddy about the immigration compromise. He is one of the senators pushing for the newest boondoggle energy bill. Not surprisingly, he's running for re election.
‘Trust but Verify’ worked with the Russians. They may have been an evil empire, but we could predict their reactions and they weren’t suicidal. I don't trust Washington one bit. I will hope, just a little. But very, very few of them have earned any trust. McCain has not. I don't know Palin, and the VP doesn't make policy.
I got my ditty at #9 from Krauthammer on Fox this afternoon.

Maybe people figured out that taking water out of only one side of the bucket is a fool’s errand?
That punishing businesses ultimately hurts the workers.
That drilling will create many new jobs.
Add to that the info that we pay the second highest corporate taxes in the industrialized world.
People are beginning to get it! And they get Obama too. He is words, just words.
