    I get a kick of how stupid people really are.

    Go back to the archives of the Senate and House and see who introduced bills that would lead to less reliance on petroleum. Notice who squashed that legislation.

    The latest proof is when Bush came in he immediately did away with the CAFE standards (at the automakers bidding). If the Democratic CAFE standards had been imposed, Detroit would already have the fleets of higher economy autos. The U.S. would be importing a minimum of 1 million barrels per day less.

    Instead Republicans got their way. No mileage standards, big, fat SUVs that suck up the gas and Detroit in shambles. AND, now, they are successful and blaming Democrats for oil prices!.

    I don’t know about you, but I sleep better at night knowing this nation has a huge STRATIGIC RESERVE of petroleum to cushion our transition away from that energy source.

    Bush doesn’t think 5.00 gasoline is enough to dip into the Strategic reserve that was created…..The Demos don’t think 5.00 gas is enough to dip into the Strategic reserve nature gave us. What’s the difference? Neither will solve our problem, only alternative energies will.
