David-
It really is disgusting how Newt has taken the Ethanol baton from Bob Dole because of its importance to Iowa voters. It just comes down to plain politics (although I don't think Forbes is for the subsidy and he did fairly well there).

Before several months ago I thought there was a politician somewhere who really shared my core beliefs (I'm a libertarian by choice, a republican by necessity) and I thought Forbes fit this description until he started on his "right to life" rhetoric to appease the far right. Looks like he's just like all of them now, and Perot is just too wacky to support.

Now I just believe this is the way it is, ALL politicians look out for their best interests (not the country's interest) and this is the price we pay for living in the United States. I might pay several thousand dollars more a year in taxes because of the pandering, but we are lucky enough to live here with this imperfect system which I don't think will ever change.
