Saying 'no' to agri-business ethanol is something the oil industry has a long history of doing, long before it could be equated with aiding a global food crisis and back when it was a good idea. Fortunately, Brazil didn't listen to their babble and has driven away (on ethanol fueled vehicles) from the black demon liquid.
Who attacked the twin towers and destroyed them? People from the oil-rich 'ally' of Saudi Arabia. Who murdered workers in Houston and has walked away with a few million dollar fines and settlements? BP, even though they made $6.85 billion in the first half of 2008 alone! Don't take my word for it -- read all about it ...

John McCain (and the Republican Party) is the pocket of the uber-wealthy oil companies (and pharmaceuticals). His vote in December on this act ...

... demonstrates what a patsy for the oil industry he is. Quite frankly, Mr. Barar, if you don't have the few grades of gasoline you claim would save so much in red tape, you only have a Republican government to blame, since they completely controlled the Congress and White House for the first 6 years of this decade, and have only slowly begun to lose their stranglehold after the 2006 election (though still maintaining considerable power as the above vote demonstrates).
But the tide can turn against the black death, and it's past time we rolled out the Republicans with all their super-rich oil cronies and took back the government, spending money on renewable research and infrastructural investment, and away from the Military Industrial Complex. It's past time the US' medical industry was the cheapest in the free world, and the one that provides best for ALL its citizens. The Democratic Party in 2008 can start us down that path. The oil industry (i.e., Republican's Party) is diametrically opposed.
EXCELLENT POST, now we need to get rid of Diebold, or else no matter how many people vote McBush out, the Diebold count will always be 52% NeoCon.
I am a conservative republican who is deeply saddened that my party has been taken over by these 'Crooks and Liars' and has only acted in one vain, GREED at the expense of real Americans, everyday people.
