The problem being that Republican senators need to opt their tight panties for some loose boxer briefs. They should "put the national interest above party politics." Which seems unlikely, considering they want to put labels on everything that doesn't support their unruly thoughts. It's fallacy to think that an energy bill is not needed in order to improve our independence from other countries.
This energy bill "[may begin] to end our oil addiction, we can shrink the piles of money we send to the worst regimes in the world, strengthen our dollar by keeping more at home, clean up our air, take away money from people who finance the mosques and madrassas that keep many Muslim youths backward, angry and anti-American and stimulate a whole new industry-". Nearly two-thirds of our oil comes from foreign sources. That's not necessary, and it wouldn't be if we had a plan to help reduce this co-dependence.
The Democrats need to fight back! Focusing on the correct word usage and highlighting key issues in order to convince Republicans to pass the energy bill. "Can you imagine how high the stock market would soar and how easy a compromise with Democrats would become if Republicans offered an energy policy consistent with their values and our interests?"
There are so many advantages that come with such a comprehensive energy bill. I also think Thomas Friedman should have T. Boone Pickens on speed dial if he doesn't already. They share the same views when it comes to renewable resources. Thomas Friedman's background consists of being a recipient of 3 Pulitzer prizes, he is an internationally renowned author, reporter and columnist.
