Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Dems responsible for $4.00 gas

From CNS News:

As expected, gasoline prices keep rising, and Republicans are placing the blame squarely on the Democrat-led Congress. Republicans apparently see “pain at the pump” as a key election issue.

As of Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline stood at a record $4.00. The price has zoomed above $4.00 in a number of states.

“As a result of this dubious milestone, motorists will pay on average $1.67 more per gallon than they were when the 110th Congress began. This represents a 71 percent increase during Nancy Pelosi’s speakership,” said Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Republican Conference.

Putnam said on the Democrats’ watch, “America has become a nation of $4 gasoline. This expensive milestone arrives two years removed from an endless stream of assurances by Democrat leaders that they had their hands on a ‘commonsense plan’ to lower gas prices,” Putnam said Sunday in a news release.
…
In April 2006, Democrats promised the American people a “commonsense plan” to bring down gas prices. But the plan does not include drilling for U.S. oil reserves. (See earlier story)
…
“Every American has a right to ask: What will it take for the Democrat-controlled Congress to finally take action and help ease the pain of the Pelosi Premium on behalf of struggling families and small businesses? Speaker Pelosi has the power to schedule a vote on our plan to begin breaking America’s costly dependence on foreign sources of energy. She should not wait another day to do so.”

Republicans are reminding the American people average gas prices under the Democrat-controlled Congress have risen from $2.33 a gallon on January 4, 2007 — the first day of the Democratic Majority — to the current $4.00 a gallon.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever.  The Dems have been in bed with the treehuggers for decades now, and as a result, we cannot even access our own energy resources.  Instead, our economy and way of life are dependent on Islamofascist weirdbeards and on South American socialist tinpots.  Nicely done, you leftist bedwetters.

  1. And China and Cuba are drilling in the pristine waters less than 50 miles off Key West. We all know what stellar records they have for keeping a clean environment.

    Yeah, that just fries me! Can’t wait to see how the Dems blame Bush when there’s some colossal oil spill under the Cubans and Chicoms…

  3. As far as I can tell, democrats have limited our ability to drill offshore to three states on the Gulf of Mexico: Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The rest of our waterfront states are off limits (to us, at least). That’s just offshore drilling, to say nothing of onshore drilling in such desolate locales as ANWR.

    However, this is not the only problem created by the democrats and their undying loyalty to the environMental lobby. With no new refineries built since 1976 and the EPA requirement of a seemingly endless list of unique so-called “boutique blends” of gasoline, there is no room for error in production. The smallest of problems causes prices to soar.

    Compound the above with the lack of new nuclear plants in the past decade, and we have ourselves a true energy conundrum. And it’s only getting worse. So, what’s the “commonsense plan” promised by the Party of Treasonous Surrender-Monkeys?

    Windfall profit taxes.

    …or…

    Nationalize the energy industry.

    Always, always, always be leery of any plan from democrats that they describe as “commonsense”.

  4. The day will hopefully come when the American people wake up to the charade the Democrats have pulled over this country’s eyes. And I certainly hope that day comes very soon, particularly on a day this coming November.

    The Democrats running the show in Congress have got to be the biggest joke.

  5. I use to be a demacrat when that ment somthing, before the carter years! But when the liberals took over with thier anything goes to destroy America attitude, I jumped of that wagon real Quick, like anyone would who truely cared for thier country! The democratic mind is a real piece of work. Lets give terrorist access to lawers and our constitutional rights as us citizens. Because we wouldn’t want to offend them, and in the same breath say it’s fine to kill our young thru abortion. {Obama} proposed abortion {after} birth in Ill. Excuse me but thats murder people! His reasoning, because it might burden the woman to have to keep her legs together till after she gets married. Thats selective breeding folks, just like hitler proposed during ww2. People you had better wake the hell up, lest we all fall into insanity like all the other Obamites! Next he will call for the resending of only 2 terms for the pres. so he can become a dictator! With his mob of brown shirts he could pull it off! He is already calling for the disarming of Americas right to bear arms accept for militias. And we all know the contempt obama has for gun toteting religious fanatics as he called us. Remember Hitler came to power with the exact same promise and lies that the people were ready for change, and all his minions fell right into {goose} step behind him. Thats right folks he’s back! This time in the guise of a black man and I think you know who he is whithout me saying. He must be stopped before he can inflict his dammage on the world as last time. Vote him and the democratic party away and return to sanity once more, while we still have time! The dems. have stood in the way of every attempt we have made to move foward in America. Remember we can save America while she still stands for somthing descent and good. While the rest of the world grows dark and seeths at our good deeds, as our light still shines on the hill with Isrieal, we still have time! May God always bless America! Defcon7
