And don’t forget his sound policy on oil independence:
Giuliani: Consider More Offshore Oil
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1812191/posts
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday said everything has to be considered if the United States wants to break its reliance on foreign oil, including more drilling off Florida’s coast.
Calling the energy supply a major domestic problem, Giuliani said the nation needs to focus on nuclear power production and renewable energy sources. In the meantime it also needs to see what oil can be tapped, he said.
“Energy independence means everything has to be open for discussion,” Giuliani said when asked about offshore drilling. “The idea of having more oil under our command, so to speak, or within our orbit probably for some period of time is going to be important. The ultimate goal, however, should be renewable sources of energy.”
Drilling off Florida’s coast will be over Senator Martinez’s dead body but I say, “Go for it, Rudy!”
Duncan Hunter, likewise, wants to move to energy independence via offshore drilling, ANWR drilling, and nuclear power.
That was a bit weird. There’s a whole pillar in the middle of the “cut spending” that isn’t about cutting spending and should have been it’s own pillar, the part that discussed strengthening the military, investing in energy independence, and stopping another Hurricane Katrina Response.
Because it’s not one of the pillars, it’s easy to miss.
And I would strongly argue that the American Prosperity depends on a strong military and a reliable source of energy.
