This time about the "big bad oil companies". He doesn't want to drill in
ANWR but then complains about the "finite" supply being controlled by a
"cartel". No matter who wins in November, the American people are going to
lose.

WASHINGTON - Record high prices for gasoline probably won't drop before the
November election, Republican John McCain said Wednesday.

"I don't think it's going much lower, and it could go higher," McCain said
on NBC's "Today Show." "I don't think so, not when you've got a finite
supply, basically, and a cartel controlling it."
Although the GOP presidential candidate didn't address the question of
raising taxes on oil companies, he said the companies "absolutely" should
return some profits to consumers. "And they should be embarking on research
and development that will pay off in reducing our dependence on foreign
oil," he said.

"The point is, oil companies have got to be more participatory in alternate
energy, in sharing their profits in a variety of ways, and there is very
strong and justifiable emotion about their profits," McCain said.

Thank God we finally have some candidates who are willing to work
together for the good of the American people instead of the divisive
morons of the past several years who have been more loyal to their
political parties than to their country.

I guess it's long forgotten that in 2000, George Bush was elected
because he ran on a platform of unity; he claimed during his campaign
that he would use the best of both parties in his administration. He
turned out to be the biggest liar since Nixon and the most divisive
POTUS in history. At least McCain is honest and sincere, and I give
him kudos for that.

I think it will be good for the country to have a middle-roader in the white
house. There is good to be taken from both sides, and it is impossible to
see this if you are too far to one side or the other.
