THE WAITING GAME
Re: Lisa Fabrizio's Time is on Our Side:

Thanks, Lisa Fabrizio, for reminding me that the glass is surely half full. It is even possible, perhaps likely, that we might move forward with these ideas and protect many from assault, but I still have an unanswered question that seems to require a leap of faith that is just too far. "Is our standard bearer on our side?"

Your last paragraph says it all: "If Republicans can't capitalize on the sense of urgency in American pocketbooks and persuade John McCain to renounce his positions on ANWR and global warming; if they won't stand up for traditional marriage while popular sentiment is still with them; and if they can't make the most of our country's love for its military and their mission; then they deserve to lose in November."

Even the (Democrat!) governor of Montana wants to drill in his state in the Bakken Oil Formation. Read about it here.

Then we have Senator Salazar (D) from Colorado blocking the oil companies from going after oil shale, even though that's supposed to be left up to the governors of the respective states (which includes Utah -- a state that wants to go after the shale). You can read about that here.

The fact is our economy will collapse if something is not done to increase our domestic oil supply, Congress! If McCain would get over his globaloney and really trumpet drilling in the U.S., he'd have every Republican and many "normal" Democrats behind him. Are you listening, Mr. Maverick? Show us how Maverick you can be and say, "Let's drill!"

If McCain won't lead, then someone in the Republican ranks had better -- we're getting angry out here. This is what it will be like with a Democrat Congress and a Democrat President, folks -- just one stab in the back after another. Let's hope McCain shows that he wants to be president of the entire country, and not just certain constituencies.

In the mean time, I won't hold my breath.

Re: Matt Kibbe's Chuck Grassley, King of Pork:

Is this the same guy who met the people demanding government answer their remonstrations against the abuse of the income tax, by threatening an answer of litigation to compliance rather than giving them the Law that actually demands regular citizens doing no business with government or foreign markets to pay an income tax? Methinks follow the money actually has a merit as advice when looking for the source of smelly business as usual practices.

LOOMING SHOWDOWN
Re: William Tucker's A Qualified "Yes" to Cap-and-Trade:

The Senate recently voted down Cap and Trade and the Windfall Profits Tax, but where will we be next year? Will there be enough senate votes to prevent a disaster?

In New Mexico we will have an almost perfect test of Republican commitment to conservative principles with the election of a replacement for Sen. Domenici (R): either Tom Udall (D) or Steve Pearce (R).
