He can't bring himself to say them aloud. But as you point out, that is what it is all about. I read this passage below:
"...As a result, many conservative leaders have jumped to the farthest opposing side possible, suggesting irrational plans such as bailing out the coal industry or drilling within our cherished National Parks..."
Well. We know what he is talking about now...pipelines, drilling in Anwar, and taking advantage of our considerable reserves of coal.
It is a FAIL for him on this. "Clean Energy" is a nice sounding phrase, but I am certain it means no oil, no coal, and no nuclear.
Which means an energy policy for the party based on that is a stillborn idea, because it is not viable.
If he doesn't know that, he has no brains.
If he does know that, he has no guts.
I, for one, do not “cherish” “National Parks”.
Convince me I should.
