1oldman3, could you give some sources for this info? I did some looking around, and I'd be interested to see some info on these things. From what I have read of the Bush family investments, their hands are deep in the oil and defense money pots. I don't doubt that Dems and Repubs both have members benefiting from defense contractors and oil companies, but the information I've received doesn't indicate that these companies are mainly Democratic owned.
Finally, I'm interested to know why you think Bush has been pro-alternative fuels and has met Democratic resistance. It seems to me that beyond his recent State of the Union, there has been very little support for alternative fuels, with the major complaint being "too little too late."
