Well, you have to hand one thing to the Republicans, they are consistent. We can fight terrorism by shopping, we we can wait on cheap electric SUV's.
It's more honest to say that then to put your hopes in tire inflation...
That being said, I get annoyed with the magical "invisible hand" they use that will solve all problems.
The 2008 Republican platform is ludicrous. At this point in time there is no solution that will end our dependence on foreign oil. The drill hear and drill now is a gimmick. Reducing demand needs sacrifice and effort on everyone's part
