Sometimes -- okay, usually -- it seems the Republic Party (might as well return the favor for "Democrat Party") thinks drilling constitutes a comprehensive energy policy. And as if that wasn't apparent before, it sure was clear after Guliani's speech last night in St. Paul:

John McCain will bring about the change that will create jobs and prosperity…let’s talk specifics…John McCain will lower taxes so our economy can grow. He will reduce government spending to strengthen our dollar. He will expand free trade so we can be even more competitive. He will lead us to energy independence so we can be free of foreign oil. And he’ll do it with an all-of-the-above approach, including nuclear power and off-shore drilling.

[ chants of “Drill, baby, drill”]

Giuliani laughs as the audience chants.
