The silence from the GOP on this is deafening. So Mitch McConnell made the mandatory press briefing, AND THAT'S IT??? Unbelievable.

Why are Republicans screaming to high-heaven on this one?

Hmmmm,,,,Maybe it's because the GOP'S VERY OWN PRESIDENTAL NOMINEE OPPOSES DRILLING ANWR too!!!

The GOP is broken.

The GOP is broken.

You got that right. There’s nothing we can do about the disaster that will fall on our nation for the next four years. It’s too late.

But it is not too late to start a Conservative Party and create a Party platform of true ideas for reform. Let’s get started.

1. Government expenditures shall not exceed revenues except in time when Congress has declared a state of war with a foreign power.

2. Term limits

3. No candidates who have not spent at least 10 years in the private sector (should apply to university tenured profs, too);

4. Restrict jurisdiction of courts to hear whacko cases and limits on attorneys fees

5. Free trade agreements, but ones that mirror the trade policies of other nations.

6. Secure and militarize the southern border.

7. Energy independence through nuclear power and coal hydrogenation/liquification.

We need YOUNG Congressional candidates in districts we can win on ideas. Give up on the top of the ticket. Give up on the big cities. Go for the suburbs and flyover country. Get a viable Party with representatives on Congress. And, groom the successors. We have to live what we preach.

Any other ideas?

Conservative groups and the NRCC should make this an issue. If McCain wants to fight reality, he should burn, not the country.
