Whatever.

Thing is … I have been hearing exactly that statement for the past 30 years. Ever since the 1970′s “energy crisis”.

the collie knows that Obama cares for us, and will lead us into a glorious new age of peace, prosperity, freedom….all you need is this little mark…..

They believe you are at least that ignorant. Hey Ed, got a comment on these Gang of Ten shenanigans?

This is so depressing that I almost wish I hadn’t read it.

“Supply crunch” to drive oil prices to record highs in next decade

The Democrats want Americans to suffer at the pump, and have no money left to live with. The only solution to the fuel problem, is come November, to vote the Democrat bums out of office, in both houses of congress!

Poor Republicans,

Energy is so last week, and nobody’s watching their little sleepover.

Talk about impotent…

What a maroon

Aye aye then.

And even if no one reads them, it makes me feel good to tell Moran exactly how little I think of him and his entire political apparatus.

Unfortunately, he’s our rep until he dies and maybe even after that. He’d probably do a better job from the cemetery, come to think of it.

But aren’t the people who want to “de-industrialize” the U.S., the same people who whine about out sourcing all the “good” jobs to other nations?

Indeed they are, but generally only during election season…

If prices are high now, and we don’t increase supply, then they will only be HIGHER in 10 Years, when they say opening up OCS will really start to supply energy (a blatant lie, it won’t take 10 years, it will be incremental over a shorter period of time).

If we were SMART, we would also go back to the table on NAFTA, get with Canada and Mexico, and create an internal energy collective agreement. North America could easily be energy independent, and then you TAX the heck out of any enrgy that comes gets EXPORTED outside of North America. Let the demand in China and India grow without impacting supply here.

We’ve had a nice reprieve recently, but it won’t last. As we have all seen the drop in crude hasn’t really made much of a dent in prices at the pump, not enough to help average Americans.

What will Congress do when people can’t afford to heat their homes this winter or the next? What are senior citizens on fixed incomes supposed to do? None of this will affect wealthy politicians like Pelosi, Feinstein, et al.

Rush always says that, “The biggest price we pay is for stupidity.” Our politicians have failed us in many, many ways, however, we elected them. Americans need to become active, educated and start voting these bastards out of office.

Normally, I do not tend to be alarmist, but we are facing a dire situation. Economic prosperity and stability is the foundation of a stable democracy. If the Dems control both houses and the presidency, they will drive this country off the cliff. I’m not letting Republicans off the hook, either. They blew it, but it’s up to us to get the country back on track. None of these fat, lazy politicians will leave unless we force them out.

They’re actually hoping gas goes to $10/gallon.

RBMN on August 8, 2008 at 9:25 AM

But, it is not fair. They are paying eleven dollars for gas in socialist Europe.

That is a shame. I had a bit of respect for Thune.

I imagine if I send Moron some $$$, I’ll get a reply back, but that’s not really worth it.

NoDonkey on August 8, 2008 at 9:20 AM

Uep, but the reply would be askig for more money.

We should all be writing/emailing/phoning these senators to object to this sellout that punishes productivity of oil companies and redistributes wealth via central planning. These senators need to be reminded that their role is not to hamper economic growth.

The buzzwords of “compromise” and “bipartisan” cloak a lot of mischief that occurs beneath the radar. They provide a lot of cover to promoting a Democrate-socialist agenda that is at odds with our liberties.

The objections to this Gang of Ten compromise of the Senate should also be sent to members of the House who are working to hammer out a vote on energy legislation, so that they do not fall prey to lulling language.

In the interests of comity, our legislators should NOT be punishing productivity with increasing taxes on carbon-based fuels. The taxes will be passed on down the chain to consumers while rewarding alternative energy with no risk and a lot of walk-around money. Like all government handouts, this supposed incentive is rife with abuse. We might as well be tossing our money to carbon-credit buying scams.

The ultimate goal in both cases is the strategic suicide of the United States.

Absolutely… State representatives from either party; send those emails out daily. We can sit back and whine (which I do simply for a release), or we can whine and take action at the same time… Multi-tasking, as some would say…

Liberals,behold the future you are creating!
