The question was, "which candidates which label themselves fiscally responsible, will endorse the elimination of farm subsidies if they are elected president in 2008."

Incredibly, Mitt Romney, former Governor of Mass. answered, "We don't want to find ourselves with regards to our food supply in the same kind of position we're in with regards to our energy supply. . . ." So he supported farm supports.

Let me get this straight, Mitt. The reason we import around 11 million barrels of oil a day out of the 20 million that we use is because we DON'T SUBSIDIZE ENERGY SUFFICIENTLY????

That's completely insane for two big reasons. First, we subsidize energy enormously. Second, and MUCH more important, this has precisely NOTHING to do with why we import so much of our energy.

Debates are rarely enlightening, and often contain lies and silliness, but this is truly extreme.
