Fionn , SURELY WE ARE OUR OPINIONS.
Do you really think? What of matters where we know little and our opinions are barely formed, what are we then?(sorry this has nothing to do with gas $) I find that opinion curious is all. Only a stoic could ever be known to anyone, even themselves if opinions were what constituted the self.
More to the point of the thread I think Republicans always tend to play the fear card, it is ugly. I think the biggest diffrence between most dems and reps in terms of the voters is that most Democrats are skeptical of both parties and are trying to choose the lesser evil. While most Republicans are party line pit bulls. I have yet to hear one republican admit Dubya isn't the fittest choice for the white house, but, they all wanted to throw a road scholar out over non-political dirty laundry.
Doug , is a fossil fuel peddler the best man to have addressing the energy crisis?
