McCain can win this election by making it about energy, energy, and energy.
True, but not if he takes the Jimmy Carter approach adopted by Obama where conservation is the answer. Learning to live with less, and punishing those who use more than they should.
McCain's plan needs to be about opening up the thousands of capped wells. Exploring for new sources of oil, opening up the closed areas to drilling and reducing the number of homes still using heating oil by expanding nuclear energy.
RE “energy, energy, and energy.”
Either McCain loses by being Obama light or by reversing himself on all his long held positions ,to suddenly make believe he is a republican like he is doing now, showing what a complete phony he is. That’s why Obama can change all his positions to phony ones, because McCain is doing it and can’t complain about him now.
We don’t have oil because of McCain. Bush tax cuts expire because of McCain. This fake makes me sick.
You missed :
Well, I guess we’re all pretty relieved we didn’t drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge back in 2002. What a disaster that would have been.
John McCain opposed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because he polled soccer moms and found out they were against drilling. They thought it sounded too much like going to the dentist. McCain wanted to ensure that he remained beloved by the two pillars of his base: “centrists” and New York Times reporters.
Even Sen. Chuck Hagel voted for drilling in ANWR. But John McCain, “our” candidate, voted against it.
I guess we’re beginning to see the problem of basing a political platform on the passing fancies of “centrists.” These are people who have no opinions because they know nothing about national issues. They’re the ones who check the “not sure/no opinion” box on polls regarding the legalization of cannibalism.
