Pandering run amok: cars, guns, gas, oil.

Romney was slobbering over NASCAR fans.

Santorum, whose father Aldo emigrated from Italy and lost a vowel at the end of his name, was contradicting John F. Kennedy on the separation of church and state and calling President Obama a snob for advocating education for all.

Gingrich was being his revolting self.

Not that Obama or Hillary Clinton were much less revolting during the 2008 election.  Here is what a candidate for president needs to not only believe but actually say and act upon.

1. Denounce NASCAR nation for its mindless glorification of oil consumption and reckless driving to say nothing of the its immensely boring form, driving in circles for hours.

2. Repeal the second amendment, the one that permits gun ownership.  If it didn't exist it would have no chance of being adopted.  Instead they pander to gun advocates and pretend to be one of them.

3. Advocate $10 tax per gallon on gasoline to force conservation, a word they are too afraid to utter.

4. Outlaw the use of oil for home heating to force conversion to less offensive fuel.
