Get a grip. You're suggesting that Bush and Republicans think the

No, but _some_ republicans do and some believe there's unlimited oil for
other reasons (like T. Gold's claims).
Probably true. And some Democrats believe that sitting in a
pyramid-shaped building will cure lung cancer, heart disease and AIDS.
But both of these statements (mine and yours) are too meaningless to
be worth stating.

Others don't care about how much
oil there is as long as there's enough for their own lifetime (like
the head of Exxon).
I know nothing about the head of Exxon's politics nor his views on
resource depletion. Where did you find this information, or did you
just imagine it?

Others are only interested in money now and to hell
with the future, good, bad or otherwise. Greedy folks can find lots
of justifications for ignoring reality in the short run.
Yep.
