What if there was a bill in the Senate that actually saved 1.5 million barrels of oil per day?
What if there was a bill that would have saved Americans $90 billion a year in gasoline consumption?
What if there was there was a bill that would have eliminated the need for the current amount of oil imported from the Persian Gulf?
WOULD JOHN MCCAIN SUPPORT IT?
NO. He would skip the vote and say he opposed it, from a distance of course - campaigning was more important. This is what McCain did on the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The bill did pass Congress and was signed into law, DESPITE MCCAIN'S OPPOSITION.
This is the real McCain. He is cynically mocking the nation's serious attempts to reduce energy consumption and solve the most pressing environmental issue ever faced by mankind.
MCCAIN: NO TO REDUCING DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL!
MCCAIN: NO TO THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REDUCTIONS IN GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION!
MCCAIN: YES TO THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO NO-NONSENSE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY SUPPLIES.
