Residual Forces

Is it November 6th, 2012 yet? 

McCain jumps the green shark…. and with $300 million pig in sidecar. 

PHOENIX (AP) ― Sen. John McCain hopes to solve the country’s energy crisis with cold hard cash.

The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting thinks the government should offer a $300 million prize to the person who can develop an automobile battery that leapfrogs existing technology.

The prize would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country.

In a speech being delivered Monday at Fresno State University in California, McCain is also proposing stiffer fines for automakers who skirt existing fuel-efficiency standards and incentives to increase use of domestic and foreign ethanol.

Free Market to McCain: If ethanol was the answer/solution for US drivers, the market would be switching over to ethanol all by itself with out the Big Green Brother in Washington penalizing or forcing incentivizing it to do so. But the crap sucks, and is more expensive to process, raises prices across the spectrum on other goods we have to buy, not to mention is going to destroy the environment. Oh and our cars don’t run on the stuff. 

Car makers are moving toward higher MPGs, but unfortunately not every American can run out and buy a new one. And it requires new designs and massive changes in the products people want to buy. That’s a key ingredient to the facts of this debate that is always left out. Sure everyone thinks this crap sounds like the right thing to do, but in order to follow through with it, we all have to buy the newly mandated cars. We also have to be willing to give up the ability to be independent and drive tin cans with room for our ass and gallon of ethanol. 

Nope, while the POTUS Lunacrats pander to Big Green and pollute the free market with interventionist and junk science, we’ll be forced to keep paying more for gas and energy. We’ll have to live less because both Obama and McCain are going to do absolutely nothing about the high prices, and likely make them worse. 

No matter who wins the election this year, I think the next Presidential race (2012) will be fought over who will save the American automobile industry and do something about the oppressive regulations and high prices that Big Green has lobbied for. Obama and McCain are both rabidly leftist when it comes to green issues. They are both flaming environutters and looming economic disasters waiting to happen. 

Our choices in this election are wholly owned subsidiaries of Big Green and we will be lucky to have the same country when we have an election to replace which ever one wins this time. 

I wish I was old enough to run for President. I’d start a new party. It’d be called the Free Party. And we’d love this country and use our passion to help protect it from nanny state interventionists like the ones who will be on the ballot. Basically take traditional conservative issues that the Republican party has abandoned, and we’d be the home for it. And we’d win. 

Thankfully, every election has another one to follow.

November 6, 2012.

Man I can’t wait.
