You must be forgetting about the Clintons and their #1 campaign promise in 1992 to totally reform healthcare! Oh ... never mind.

Only with a highly selective quote. She said: Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems, as if we all didn't know that already. But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to lay more pipelines, build more nuclear plants, create jobs with clean coal and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers. Doug

McCain has voted against every single alternative energy or increasing MPG standards bill, and always sided with the oil companies.
