Gas prices are hitting all-time highs. Our country is in the midst of a recession thanks in part to our crippling dependence on oil, so what’s John McCain’s plan? Will he hold the corporate leaders of the energy industry accountable when he addresses them today in Houston? Probably not, considering they are some of his biggest fund-raisers.
The Center for Responsive Politics finds that McCain has accepted over $1 million from the oil and gas industry. Many of McCain’s top advisers have lobbied for big oil, which is why he now acts in their best interests, opposing environmental legislation and alternative energy plans. And that’s exactly why we want everyone to know The REAL McCain.
McCain is desperate to distance himself from President Bush. But according to the Center for American Progress Action Fund, McCain has received millions in donations from the same oil, coal, nuclear, chemical, utility, and auto companies that helped the Bush administration create its energy plan—a plan that has raised gasoline to $4 a gallon.
Here’s what you can do: Send this e-mail to ten of your friends, family members, and colleagues. Tell them to send it on to ten people they know. And don’t forget to Digg it! Spread the word that McCain is taking major contributions from wealthy oil executives like Bob Mosbacher, just one of the special interest leaders he’ll be addressing in Houston.

Look, people are going to keep on driving vehicles no matter how it effects the earth, so why don’t we keep cars, and get a clean source of energy?
I doubt many people would be too keen on giving up their cars and switching to bikes

“Will he hold the corporate leaders of the energy industry accountable when he addresses them today in Houston?” stop living in a dream wold. we have a private enterprise system here, this isn’t Venezuela. Milk costs more than gas, you should be thanking the oil companies. That is unless, you want to drill for the oil yourself. Silly liberals…

I bought a Honda Hybrid less than 2 years ago for $22k. Great decision. My fuel consumption for my daily commute has gone down by half. I fill up no more than once a week compared to twice+ per week on the old car. Efficiency should be the USA’s top priority. The technology is here. Mandate it, and it will be affordable. Of course, Oil companies backing the likes of McCain don’t want us to reduce fuel usage.

McCains primary …
McCains primary concern is to make oil companies richer.
He wants:
- More Drilling = more oil profit.
- War in Iraq & Iran = more oil profit.
- No specific green targets (only feel good waffle!) = more oil profit.
- Gas Tax Holiday = higher prices & more oil profit (it’s been tried).
- No windfall tax on Big Oil to invest in raising car MPGs = more oil profit.
- Alaskan VP is married to the oil industry = more oil profit.
McCain has been bought & paid for.
He works for them.

…and if you think …
…and if you think the USA has a “free” market, that a capitalistic system is inherently good, and that our country is a true democracy, then you need some schoolin’ son. Democrats WORK in all sectors of the economy. To say that Democrats only make their money thru ‘media, movies, inheritance (and what, by the way, is “etc?”) is an extremely ignorant, naive comment.

I’ll give you an example, ShawnD1: Tobacco companies have been required to air messages which tell people not to smoke. A hydrocarbon-based economy is inherently dirty, dangerous, and (at the rate it’s being used) non-sustainable. They have been raking in record profits; it’s time for THEM to pay.
