The Republicans and Their Election Year---Posturing Over the Energy Crisis

The Republicans are calling on Nancy Pelosi to call all the Democratic and Republican members of Congress back in session to tackle and to come up with a comprehensive energy plan which is a tactic of election year posturing. The Republicans want to appear to the American electorate as if they are trying to do something about the present energy crisis but their strategy is solely for the benefit of the John McCain. It was John McCain and the Republican members of Congress that gave carte blanche to President Reagan, Bush #1, Bill Clinton and Bush #2 when each of those presidents and the respective Congress miserably failed to come up with a comprehensive energy plan. The Republicans and John McCain are playing diversionary politics to deflect attention away from the failed economic policies of George Bush since he took office in 2001. By calling the other members of Congress back into session, what will be accomplished to solve the energy crisis other than a lot of grandstanding. Even if Congress passes a bill and Bush approves it, all the experts say there will not be an effect on prices at the gas pumps for several years to come. Therefore, all politicians need to refrain from lying to the American people.
John Duplicitous McCain sat on his behind for 26 years and did nothing about the present energy crisis other than to shift his position based upon whatever way the political wind was blowing. Shame on the Republicans and John McCain McSame for pimping the American people with false hopes and actions. Twenty six years of doing nothing in the Congress and now McCain wants to be rewarded with the title of Commander-in-Chief of the great United States. I don’t think so! McCain’s appeal may resonate with the low information voters known as “Joe Six-Pack”, “Tom Deer Hunter” (NRA), “the Jed Clampetts, the Archie Bunkers, the NASCAR crowd, old George Wallace Democrats who turned Republican back in 1968 and the Reagan Democrats. McCain and the Republicans will not be able to influence the well-read, educated, intelligent, high information voters in which Independents make up a sizable number of these voters.
