Events in the ME are going to completely overshadow anything this boob comes up with
The dems are so out of touch it is pathetic
The ME is ready to blow sky high and these fools act like they are in some other time zone warp
yes, by all means let's charge headlong into ethanol only. Then in a few decades when then farmland to furnish it becomes a barren wasteland from overuse what's the next scam the enivornmental whackos foist upon the public?
Right.
Many of us here on FR have wondered time and again why the President, why any Republican, has not come out with a moon landing style directive to make our country energy independent within, say, 10-15 years. It is a subject that resonates with the peeples, not just us political junkies on FR.
Instead of that we got the landing on Mars in 20 years initiative that fell like a lead balloon. Talking about putting a man on Mars during Iraq, during the WOT, during the aftermath of Katrina, during the high energy prices back then, was completely out of touch (as much as I personally would like to see it).
So, Dingy Harry and the Dims are taking over a very important and needed topic. Of course, their recomendations will be ridiculous and will never address the problem, but I just wonder what the h@!@ the Republicans and the President are thinking by not coming up with a bold energy initiative for energy independence for our country and then promoting the crap out of it.
I have to say my memory is that there was a significant push by the Bush Administration to get a better energy policy going. This is an issue that is just way susceptible to demogogery. Bush says more production and the environmentalists say "Enron", Cheney secret meeting, oil cronies. The price of gas spikes and the Democrats say gouging. We just have a critical shortage of leaders who will speak clearly to the American people about choices we have to make rather than boogie men and environmental disaster.

The president outlined his four-point plan to reduce high energy prices: Promote conservation; produce and refine more crude oil in the United States; develop alternative sources of energy, such as renewable ethanol or biodiesel; and help other nations, such as China, to become more energy-efficient to reduce global demand for energy. He said it was time for the United States to expand its nuclear power capacity.
"Today, millions of American families and small businesses are hurting because of high gas prices," Bush said at a forum on energy efficiency. "If you're trying to meet a payroll or trying to meet a family budget, even small increases at the pump have a big impact on your bottom line."
By the Way, How does dingy Harry's plan of putting the kabosh on nuclear waste disposal in Nevada fit in to solving our energy woes?
What an incredibly ignorant idiot.
We will be a third world poverty nation in 2 years if these MF's have their way. 25% unemployment, 25% interest. People dying in the streets.
Bet on it.
Huh? What about ANWR? Thought the DEMS put the roadblocks up for that. The most "ethical" congress is full of vultures and snakes.
Excellent picture : says it all...
Reid and the scumbag Democrats (along with some scumbag RINOs) have consistently stood in the way of drilling for oil on US property. I guess now it's time for the real Republicans to stand in the way of whatever goofy ideas the scumbags have. Touche.
I guess you didn't get the memo. We hold GW and Rove responsible for the disaster November on 7th.
I'll give you that the little crook is not often truthful, but you have overlooked his main problem...
*No offense meant to geologists.
LOL, I remember those sweaters, "Rafshoonery" it was called at the time, after Gerald Rafshoon, "image consultant" hired by the Carter White House. I saw his name in the production credits at the end of some excreble bit of TV the other night. Rafshoon's name that is, not Carter's. Jimmah is by definition excrement.
Old plan = No plan
New plan = No plan
Result? SOS, just worse. More freedoms restricted.
After his little speech, he jumped into and SUV, that was part of a seven parade of SUV'S, drove about 1 mile to a little airport got into a twin engine helicopter flew another mile and then got into a 747 for a vacationtrip where he was met by another SUV parade and so on, and so on, and so on.
He could have made it short and simple by saying this is for the common people not the arrogant elected officals who have a different set of rules for themselves.
All Hollywood celebrities could fly commercial!
Bush ran on the increase drilling at home/build more refineries platform.
All the BS and its right back where we started ,more mileage on cars ,the next thing they will say is put on a sweater and turn down the thermostat
