With the ...McCan could and should push this issue. With the Iraq war winding down and our with our combat troops coming home likely in the next sixteen months or so the Iraq war is a non issue. Pushing for more drilling, building more refineries, and more nuclear power plants should be the center piece of McCain's campaign. <BR/><BR/>Even if someone opposeed offshore drilling in the past, the change in position today to supporting can be justified because the facts have changed. When the moratorium was placed gasoline was relatively cheap. Now working families are getting pummeled.<BR/><BR/>This is not Bush's policies that have failed. He can suggest policies and Congress has to act on it. They have blocked drilling at every turn. It is Congress who has primarily falied here.<BR/><BR/>After the 2006 elections when Republicans lost the House and the Senate, the power of President Bush was significantly reduced. Since early 2007 Bush has been little more than a figure head. I was after the Democrat congress took over that gasoline prices started to rise. This rise in prices is a result of failed democrat policies. McCain should try to drive this home. If he has the courage to do this, he has a good chance to win the electionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
