UPDATE: Varifrank explains that it's the power of the market: "He doesn't care why you want zero emission cars, he just wants you to buy them from him. He's not making cars for you and your sense of well being. He's making them so the shareholders of General Motors can make a profit. If there's a profit in it, he would make cars that run on hamster pellets." But I thought consumers were at the mercy of the big auto companies, who just sold us whatever they wanted, without caring what we think -- isn't that why the proliferation of SUVs is all their fault?
From The presidential race at the cusp, by A Jacksonian:
...the Party that promised so much to its Conservatives is in the hard bind of having had control of Congress for over a decade and simultaneous control of the Executive for 8 of those years and accomplishing none of the goals it had set out to do in 1994 and, before that, with Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election. Welfare reform was only garnered by waging a public campaign to restrict it and demonstrate valid reason for it that appealed to a broad spectrum of Americans... and it was accomplished with a Democratic President. Since then the Party has broken its agreement to work for those things it set out to do, leaving it, now, with much of its pre-Reagan base of a 45-55% John McCain.
