    See how they slip the oil price in there?

    Anybody care to think about the idea that a good representative should be concentrating on forcing the oil producing nations to supply cheap oil, instead of distracting the voters with puritan lifestyle backlash nonsense?

    I mean, who said that (a) cheap oil was good, or (b) that those wicked countries out there - as opposed to the oil companies - were over-charging?

    Because, if you're honest with yourselves, you will admit that that is the default assumption.
