Yes, it's a bad idea, but at least they have ideas. This current incarnation of Republicans have no new ideas. Only failed demagogy and failed ideologies.

You would rather spend $120B a year on a war in Iraq, give tax subsidies to oil companies to enrich the Arabs, and keep gas mileage requirements low, so that no progress can be made at all. Thank the Lord that other, more patriotic Americans are actively thinking up new ideas on how we can become oil independent so that our President doesn't have to go tail between his legs to beg the Saudis to pump more oil to throw us a bone so our economy doesn't sink.

How pathetic. How low this Republican party has sunk.
