Are Republicans Realizing they've gone too far right?

Yeah, it's a shame loopholes like that can't get closed, 'cause that would take, I don't know, uhmmm... Legislation?

Kind of like mandating fuel efficiency for cars, which would bring down the gas prices the President says he's powerless to do anything about. You have to, like... make laws, or some such deal. You might even have to hold a special session of congress, a president might have to come back early from a vacation. It's the kind of thing that just can't be done. You wish that it could, but it can't.

I'm certain it has nothing at all to do with the fact that folks in the oil bidness make outrageous profits when prices sckyrocket.
