I wasn't a big fan until I started listening to him directly, instead of through America's right-wing media machine. All I can say is that it's a damn shame he isn't President. For constrast, I'll give you some GWB quotes: "We need an energy bill that encourages consumption." -Bushie himself "The president believes that [high energy consumption] is an American way of life, and that it should be the goal of policymakers to protect the American way of life. The American way of life is a blessed one." -Ari Fleischer, Press Sec. Here's one where Mr. Bush demonstrated his understanding of foreign oil. "I talked about how best to be able to expedite the exploration of natural gas in Mexico and transport it up to the United States, so we become less dependent on foreign sources of crude oil." Just sad. Al Gore, a great environmentalist, and Bush, a stupid man handled by evil men. So sad. For that matter, if we kept Carter, <a href="http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0503-22.htm" rel="nofollow">he might have helped</a> the American addiction to oil in its earlier stages. Al Gore.
