Too Much To Hope For Given Our Silly Politics

I guess it was too much to hope for that one of the Republican candidates would have said, in response to Wolf Blitzer's questioning if the "oil companies" are making too much money, "No Wolf, they are not making enough money in my view. If we let them drill more here at home and let them build refineries without decades-long legal battles, then hopefully they'll have more profits and make more investments in our energy future."

Alas the best we got was Ron Paul not begrudging them their profits made honestly in the free market.
