I'm in agreement with KK on this one..."let's drill in ANWR" is not a valid 'energy policy', and think the electorate is fully aware of Cheney's secret energy task force meetings that immediately preceded the current energy crisis, as they are aware of "Kenny Boy" Lay's energy scandal, and his friendship with BushCorp...the dems have nothing to worry about so far as energy policy goes, as the Repubs have failed on it so miserably the past seven years that anything will be better.

There's also no reason to all of a sudden foster a bipartisan environment when those who made it so partisan (thanks to the "uniter not a divider", aka "the decider") will be out on their asses in a few months and won't be able to continuing screwing the public for the benefit of their corporate masters and rapidly deteriorating political party.

It's a rough time to be a Republican...actually, it's been rough for a while, since the only thing "republican" about the current crop of Republicans is their name, and the "R" after their titles...none of their policies, except the pandering to the religious radical right, have anything "conservative" or "republican" about 'em.

Until the republicans in the electorate make them change back into actual republicans, they will be in serious trouble.

Fish on...
