developing and using fuel that is carbon friendly, while at the same time helping our own economy.

But god forbid, apparently. The reflexive bashing of her is almost comical at this point.

Please look at my post #6 to get a small glimpse as to why I think it is a flawed policy.

I was addressing the policy, it is a bad one.

This is one issue where a good number of people all across the political spectrum can agree. Ethanol is a disaster. Here's a 2009 article on the topic: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/a2422/4237539/

The bottomline: "a huge hidden tax on consumers, with benefits flowing to the politically connected" That's what ethanol has always been about.

On a related note, what does the US do with much of that excess corn? It ships massive sums to other countries, which ruins livelihoods, forcing residents of those other countries to seek refuge elsewhere (migrants who are then attacked for doing what anyone else in their shoes would do). What enables the US to flood other countries with cheap, subsidized agricultural products? So-called "free" trade agreements such as NAFTA.

and she supports more free trade!


I honestly do not understand why liberals support her.


Terrible candidate.

gasoline, doesn't create better gas mileage and the 10% ethanol additive does nothing for the environment

If they want clean fuel, natural gas or electric

This is a pork barrel with the potential to create food prices

For one thing, electric comes from burning coal.

Want to know what rural communities need?

Health clinics supported by -real- doctors--who typically refuse to serve in the "boonies". The use of nurse practioners interacting with live patients and on-line support from MDs is really a huge need.

Access to internet and information services

Support of education, which is hard for small populations to support.

Transportation for the elderly and poor.

Jobs...well, that ain't so special...

How dare he not just make something up to placate a reporter. The Shame..The Shame Of It ALL!!!


Thoughtfulness and honesty are some of the things people like about him. I will bet that if this comes up in one of the debates you will get a definitive answer.

that is pretty much the defintion of that so evil evolving.

but could she hire some advisers that do their home work ?

You think she would have studied up on it.
