the rise in gas prices comes along at just the right time.
Wishful thinking - even $20/gallon fuel would have less of an impact then the loss of sovereignty.

Hes tried Social Security and immigration and run into a wall on each.
Correction: He's paid lip service to Social Security reform and spent his political capital on amnesty for illegal aliens.

An Executive order opening up ANWR and other drilling prospects would go a long way..

Earth to Morris - Hydrogen isn't going anywhere soon. Ethanol in the short run is good as there is a fairly large fleet of vehicles out there that can use it. Try bioDiesel for the near and intermediate time. There are quite a few light duty, Diesel engined trucks out there that could use it for most of the year.
Energy independence is the best way to disengage from the ME and to send them back to the stone age.

Dick is a left of center moderate who mistakenly believes that that is where the rest ofthe country is as well.

Yeahhhhh... more research on hydrogen-powered fuels -- that's something that everyone can get excited about that will get the price of gas down this summer.
Duhh?

"As anyone remotely into New Age voodoo knows, the Chinese symbol for crisis is said to consist of the words danger and opportunity."
Oh geez. What does new age have to do with foreign language semantics.

It sound like you are saying he has been bought, paid for, and full of it.

He should ... act quickly on massive new investments ... increase ... production of alcohol-based fuels ... plunge ahead ... hydrogen-fueled cars ... call for major new facilities ... Dick Morris has officially lost his mind.

Dick Morris is a punditry joke, and has been for a long time. He's on one side then another then another...his analysis is always a crap shoot. In this piece we're supposed to believe he's an expert on alternative energy sources? Does he still drive a car with an internal combustion engine? I thought so.
He also ignores a basic fact: the reason so many Democrats are ripping the President is because they HATE CAPITALISM. The American people are upset over gas prices, but by and large the VOTING public--the investor class---can understand (if explained to them)why prices are so high.
The anti-capitalist/socialists and the general public right now are in general agreement: high gas prices aren't a good thing. But that agreement stems from DIFFERENT GOALS.
The Chuck Schumers of the world want to give control of the commodity to a government bureaucracy...the people want to get more gas at a cheaper price so they can spend more money at WAL-MART.
The challenge for conservatism is to make this an opportunity to educate our fellow citizens about how important it is to get more oil from our own resources, cut government's "take" on our energy resources (EPA regulations and taxes), and get new viable sources of energy moving again: clean coal and nuclear power, for instance.

Bush has ben leading on this isse for six years. But the stupid DNC warroom has emphasized supposed secrecy of Cheney task force instead of substance. I think the American people are being sold short by all this demagogery from pols, media, and pundits. We don't need all this hype.
To: RWR8189
So where does Morris think all this hydrogen is going to come from???
A more realistic solution is start drilling here at home.
And start building more nuke plants.

"So where does Morris think all this hydrogen is going to come from??? " Hmm. Hey! Don't we have a whole bunch of Hydrogen Bombs that we aren't likely to use?
We can tap the Hydrogen from them ... < /sarcasm >

Unfortunately, loss of sovereignty isn't even on the media radar. It's not part of the game plan. Only the American citizens care about it and Bush and his droids stupidly try to tell them it's a good thing. If Bush succeeds in this scheme, history will, hopefully, revile his memory.

#14 is excellent. Add to that the left worldwide, but including those here in the US, and the Islamists want Bush defeated and out of office as soon as possible. They also control much of the world's supply of oil. Is it just coincidence that oil prices are sky rocketing just before the 2006 elections? Control of Congress would allow the Democrats to get sweet revenge and impeach Bush and maybe Cheney to. Then who is President? The new Democrat Speaker of the House.
Then the coup de tete is a fait accompli.

I don't speak or read Chinese, but I have a copy of Langenscheidt's Pocket Dictionary: Chinese-English, English-Chinese. According to that, the word for
crisis in Chinese is
weiji (with long marks over the E and the second I, indicating that both are "first tone" [high, level]).
The same character for wei by itself means "danger."
The same character for ji means "opportunity" (or "machine" or "airplane").
According to another dictionary, by James C. Quo (1960), which uses the Wade-Giles system, the Chinese word is wei chi in the Wade-Giles transcription. Quo has wei shown as second tone.
So the common report appears to be correct.
