If you tax people out of their cars, or regulate them out of existence or simple outlaw them, that would be an authoritarian program ( if you insist on a label ). Count me as an adversary on that battle. That wouldn't be a liberal program, it wouldn't be a conservative program, it would simply be a rational, patriotic, self-protective act.

>>... How about just reducing or eliminating our dependency on middle-eastern oil... then we can get out of the distasteful business of supporting dictators against democratic aspirations simply because they have the oil we need? That wouldn't be a liberal program, it wouldn't be a conservative program, it would simply be a rational, patriotic, self-protective act. 1) As we have seen, the alternatives that oppose the US are not democratic - their cultures know nothing of that. The alternatives that oppose US are like the Taliban, they are even worse dictators. 2) The Lib Dems are opposed to eliminating our oil dependency and are strident in their opposition because of the special interests that control their party. Just yesterday Dascle invoked his power to delay and to hope to defeat the development of domestic oil resources in places like ANWR. Against the will of the majority.
