Gas Prices Are Now, Officially, A Campaign Issue....

If The Wall Street Journal says so, then it must be so....
A story in today's WSJ says that while Obama, Clinton, and McCain are talking about the pain of gasoline prices and its impact on our economy (and of course 2 weeks ago McCain proposed a suspension of the federal gasoline tax for the summer months, and Hillary agreed with McCain and proposed the same thing a few days later)...they are still, each of them, proposing things that will make the situation worse.

And let's be honest about this: none of them are yet talking about the real issue - - our problematic reliance on foreign oil!

The next President of the United States (and the next Congress, for that matter), is going to have to face this reality: our nation's energy policy has been held hostage to radical "environmental" ideology; it has placed the wellbeing of plants and animals over and above the wellbeing of human beings; and this has placed our nation in a state where we are vunlerable economically (we're felling that now), and geo-politically.

Let the conversation begin now, the conversation about putting people first in our nation's energy policy, NOT Caribou and Elk.

Mr. McCain, you start first....
