We are addicted to oil. Nobody is arguing against that the United States has an unhealthy dependency on oil.
If you think of oil for a momment, as a narcotic drug - like heroin - if addiction visited your home - if not a family member - your car, your home - what would you recommend? How should the problem be handled?
Get more drugs? Find a new dealer? Another back alley find a new flow of addictive substance?
The Republican Convention was dotted with signs that say DRILL, DRILL, DRILL. We need more of this addictive substance - so lets go get it. That is called ENABLING. They are the oil DEALERS' best friend.
Obama's plan is much stronger towards developing materials to get us off this addiction. How can the Republican's ridicule this as a pipe dream? If someone you loved was addicted to something - wouldnt you do everything in your power to get them off the dependence? Sure you would, because you love them. Republicans want to find America another poppy field to harvest.Get another fix - delay the solution - (and dirty the climate while doing it).
Anyone who loves their country would do anyting to get them off of oil addiction. Ridicule won't stop them.If you had a family member or best friend with a drug problem, if you were a good friend, a responsible relative, you would make a stand and tell that person something they need to hear, whether they like it or not.
Sen. OBama has the courage and integrity to intervene. It may not be what the Republicans want to hear - but it's the straightest talk and most honest leadership that has surfaced during this election.
We're all one American family. We need to step up and do what it takes to help each other off the oil drug.
