Just the Facts

After last night’s exercise in political chicanery, I am obviously disappointed to see that the Republican’s are still pushing the fable that we can drill our way to ‘energy independence’. What is it about facts that they don’t like? The fact that we use 25% of the world’s oil resources while owning just 3% of the oil reserves? Is it the fact that we don’t have any new refineries being planned or built and the ones we do have can’t handle any more oil? Is it the fact that the oil companies already own millions of acres of oil lands that they won’t develop? Could but won’t. But then again; when did facts ever enter into the thinking of the Republican's?

I almost forgot; the governor said that Palin/McCain was going to win the war. She never said how that was going to happen. Or how we would know that it had been 'won'. Ask anyone that supports the war if they know. Ask them for details. I'm curious.
