give the people what they want!
the political mudslinging has unceremoniously begun. and just like the other campaigns of the television era, the attacks get more and more ridiculous.
i'm not sure why i expected anything less than the same old politics from the same old politicians, but i was really hoping that this year would be different. of course, without the help of the RNP, i'd never have known that obama was to blame for high gas prices, or that democrats do nothing but vote against domestic energy development and want to keep the middle class down by keeping prices on everything high. of course, how could i forget that inflating your tires properly is NOT an effective method for gaining MPG?
let's get one thing straight, the republicans have this all wrong. and i don't say this as a registered dem., i say this from the standpoint of common fucking sense. new drilling won't do the trick and it shouldn't be the basis of an energy plan. know why? 'cause it won't deliver any new energy for 10 FREAKIN' YEARS! how does that help us now?
as a partial, yet objective observer, the dems have it right. well, mostly, anyway. alternative fuels are the wave of the future and the long term solution. natural gas is a nice addition, but solar, wind, geothermal and hydrogen cells are the most abundant, cheapest in the long term and generally cleaner and healthier for all of us.
only now are americans catching up to the rest of the world in environmental intelligence. only now are we FINALLY cutting back on our gas guzzling SUVs since gas prices have hit $4.00+. and now we're all left to wonder how we're going to make it work and decide whose fault it was that we "didn't see it coming." if the republican leadership has any questions about why we were left so unprepared, they need only to look in the mirror for the answer, not at the skinny kid with the funny name.
