Bloggers to Watch

Great post here by Charging RINO looking at the recent bills passed by the Senate.

An excerpt on the Energy Bill:

Grade: (D-). The nation certainly needs an energy policy. But we need an energy policy that is more than a Christmas tree of handouts to the oil, gas, ethanol and coal industries. We need to find ways to decrease dependence on foreign oil, seriously increase incentives for alternative energy use, combat high gas prices, and create a long-term strategy to deal with global warming. This bill does none of those.

Amen. And a reminder to me that the Republican Party, when you take away the Fundies, Freepers, and Neocons, is a hairsbreadth away from the Democrats. In a world where we don’t have to deal with the crazies, the two parties can start to craft legislation that will move the country forward. And yes, in this particular form of democracy, moving society forward is through cooperation of the two parties.
