Wow!  Who would have ever imagined that a left-wing, anti-capitalist group like the Sierra Club would endorse a Democrat like Barack Obama?

Yes, the Sierra Club did endorse Obama.  The liberal group’s executive director Carl Pope was quoted as saying:

At the end of the day, John McCain just signed up with the Bush policy of giving the oil industry what it wants.

Isn’t that just illustrative of the faulty logic of the liberal mind?  Drilling for oil is not about giving the oil companies what they want, it is about giving the American economy what it needs.

According to the federal government, there are about 250,000,000 registered passenger vehicles in the United States.  What fuels those vehicles?  Gasoline derived from petroleum.  What fuels construction machinery and trucks that haul freight across the nation?  Diesel, also derived from petroleum.

These liberal dimwits act as if alternative energy and hydrogen or electric cars are just around the corner.  It’s a no-brainer that alternative energy is the future, but it will be many years before 250 million vehicles in the United States are replaced with vehicles that use alternative energy.  And what will all those currently existing vehicles run on in the meantime?  Fuels that come from oil.  That’s why we need more of it.
