I believe that there are a lot of "simple joe's" out there like me that are sick and tired of generic party rants with the Democrats saying that Oil company profits are obscene and we need to stop subsidies, and Republican's saying that we need to do more drilling. Neither opponent is providing the basic facts that support their arguments so that us "simple joe's" can work our way thru the arguments (fact and fiction) and evaluate the probable cause and effects ourselves. I know that the numbers can be skewed, but I suspect we can smell the right one's given a chance. I don't want to hear party line debates any more. It is getting to be like two deaf people in a room back to back talking into the air and repeating the sale worn statements all the while ignoring what the other person is saying. Just give us the facts so that we can understand what the issues are and decide what solutions we are willing to buy.
