Mike:

You nailed it on the head, man.
I get sick of getting into discussions with people that degenerate into, "Well, Bush just wants to help his oil buddies. If he really wanted to save our natural resources, he'd support alternative energy legislation."

When you ask them why, during Carter, when the whole government was focused on it, no viable "alternative energy" solutions were forthcoming, they'll say something like, "Well, as soon as an invention or new technology came out that saved fuel or cut gas consumption, the oil companies would buy out the inventor to keep it off the market!" or some similar tripe.

Have you had similar experiences?

#12 - Actually, you are incorrect.
This is NOT from President Bush.
Many of the people doing this appear to have arrived on scene during the Clinton period.

You might be correct in that it is time to sweep the Clinton holdovers out.
