RE:"Vote on a candidate's energy policy and the rest will take care of itself." How will energy policy take care of open borders and the consequences there of? Make gas too expensive for the coyotes?

I would submit that no issue, not even immigration, is as important as energy. You're nuts. Energy is a commodity. The #2 and #3 economies on the planet (Japan and Germany) have virtually no natural resources, and no out of the ordinary energy policies. If energy is not the #1 concern for them, why should it be for the USA? Education, wealth distribution, health care, there are plenty of issues for the government to deal with that are much higher priority than energy. I'm not saying that energy policy is not necessary, but that it certainly doesn't deserve the priority on the To Do list. Energy policy is basically just trying to lower the cost of one expense input into the economic system. How can you think that that is more important than health care or education??
