President Signs Energy Bill: Democrats are wimps or on the take

Great bill? Let's see. Bush says he would veto this bill if democrats including language that would have removed tax-breaks currently given to our oil companies in an effort to fund green energy initiatives. These tax breaks total $21 billion.

For some information on oil company profits, please read a few of these Washing Post articles from 2005.

Do you really believe we should give breaks to an industry that doesn't need it? Another argument is that since we are in Iraq fighting for oil rights, shouldn't the oil industry pay a war tax? I mean, let's be honest. We drive SUVS, we need oil, we fight wars, oil companies should pay part of the bill.

So if I get this straight, the President wants to help our "ailing" oil industry and veto a $30 billion bill to help middle-class and poor families with health insurance for their children. Compansionate conservative? Christian? Really?
