Uh... I'm not sure who SOME PEOPLE are or what you are responding to on that. I don't think drilling or alternative energy has come up in this thread yet...


Rebgirl, did you see the speech? I would imagine you liked the part where McCain admitted all the Republican failures of the past 8 years, because it is exactly the stuff you talk about all the time.

The Republicans said for DECADES, we are the party of small government, fiscal respoinsibility, and military competence. But as soon as they got control of all branches of gevernment, they increased the size of government bigger than it has ever been, they blew out the deficit hgher than it has ever been, and they bungled a war. You say Republicans have abandoned their principles, and so did McCain. You are both right.

Now McCain thinks that after admitting it, he can just say, it was THOSE OTHER Republicans, not me. You can trust me because I'm a maverick, not like THEM. I'm going back to our principles. Riiiiiiight.

It won't work. people know it was Republicans in full control of the entire Government that screwed up. They do not believe in their own principles.

I think it was big of McCain to admit how bad they screwed up though. That was definitely my favorite part of an otherwise crappy speech.
