Back during the early part of the presidential primaries, I decided that if we HAD to have a republican president again, I thought John McCain would be OK. Back then he spoke of alternatives to oil which would not only lower the current high prices but also help the environment in the process. I even wrote about my (possible) support for him if needed.
Now, as he has become the presumptive Republican candidate, he has certainly changed his tune. Suddenly the cure for our high gas prices is more drilling off our fragile coasts and wildlife preserves. His other solutions include coal for garsh sakes! What happened? Clearly Mr. McCain has been purchased by the big oil corporations that are currently running our country. Because once again, and I can't say this enough, there is no shortage of oil! (yet) So increasing supply will not affect prices - but it will increase PROFITS if we can get more of our own supply rather than buying it from "them". Isn't that what this all boils down to?
I can no longer even possibly support a person who can be purchased so easily as Mr. McCain has been.
