It was suggested elsewhere on hypocrisy.com that partisan environmentalists are responsible for a suicidal oil avoidance policy. That sounds like the paid comments of the oil lobby. Maybe even a lobbyist for Bush or McCain who are dependent on big corporate money to sustain their failed policies on all fronts.
Big Oil is deeply rooted in the Republican Party and it is an unholy alliance just like the drug companies and other abusers of the public trust. As long as they hold sway, we will never find alternatives to the earth destroying use of petro based energy and manufacturing.
If the Bush Administration had not delegated all of it’s energy policy discussions early in their eight years to the secretive Cheney Corporation which held fact finding and policy guiding meetings with only one side of the equation present, the current price of gas at the pump would be a lot lower than it is today.
Bush, Cheney and he other neo cons have not only missed the boat in foreign policy, energy policy, health care, national security and education, they have set us back decades when the rest of the world is advancing.
Jerry Ford once said something like our national nightmare is over. I am not prepared to say that until Barack Obama is installed in office in January 2009.

Bilo Franken’s feeble effort to connect oil with Republicans ignores that fact that union pension funds are the largest single owners of oil stocks. I doubt that’s a Republican “partnership.” Keeping over 80% of domestic oil reserves off limits is foolish and adds at least $2 per gallon to gasoline price, and that is irresponsible and selfish.

The point about union investment in oil stocks reminds me of the allegations that Michael Moore denied he ever invested in stocks and was not a registered Democrat when credible physical evidence to the contrary seems available including in the soon to be released “Shooting Michael Moore.”
