Democrats flee as opposed to discussing gas relief

Posted by Moonage on 04 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy

A rather bizarre event unfolded Friday.  Basically, the Republicans tried to force a vote on drilling for more oil.  The Democrats stifled it.  Then, the Democrats decided that accomplishing nothing to help the United States deal with soaring gas prices was better than debating, or even worse yet, voting to allow more drilling.
It didn’t stop [...]

HOW Democrat obstructionism affects you directly

Posted by Moonage on 25 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Congressional Races, 2008 Presidential Race, Energy Policy

It’s one thing to go around shouting about how Nancy and Harry and the Democrat leadership are failing this country in a time of economic crisis.  Now, I’ll show you exactly how it works:
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey abruptly shut down his committee indefinitely rather than allow Republicans to offer an amendment to open [...]

Jamie Gorelick’s BAAAACCCKKKK!

Posted by Moonage on 15 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories, Energy Policy, Ethics, Idiot of the day, Katrina, Media, National Politics, National Security, Oil Policy, Oil Supply

In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick.  Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]

Nancy Pelosi thinks the SPR will fix the price of gas

Via See-Dubya at Michelle Malkin’s blog, with an assist from Gasbuddy:

Apparently Nancy is finally starting to feel the heat.  So, she came up with the ultimate solution her feable mind could produce:

July 8, 2008
The Honorable George W. Bush
The President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500 [...]

The politics of the energy crisis

Posted by Moonage on 05 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy, Political Correctness

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago.  In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie.  It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it.  For instance:

Oil - The Democrats absolutely refuse [...]

McCain’s energy policy rocks

Posted by Moonage on 23 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Energy Policy

I LOVE this!
The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting is proposing a $300 million government prize to whomever can develop an automobile battery that far surpasses existing technology.
The bounty would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country, “a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil dependency,” McCain [...]

Stuck on Stupid: Nancy Pelosi

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy, Legislative Process, National Politics

And by stuck, I do mean stuck.  Nancy Pelosi has agreed to take into consideration four bills aimed at energy relief next week.  One item she absolutely will not even debate or discuss is offshore drilling.  Her logic?  Get this:
Pelosi reiterated her position that Republican calls for more offshore drilling represent another chapter in a [...]

Time to get serious about mass transit

Posted by Moonage on 12 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy

Congress just approved $15 billion to keep Amtrak operating the next four years.  The supporters of the bill cited that we need Amtrak more than ever with increasing gas prices demanding more mass transit.  And, basically wrote a blank check for Amtrak to continue.
Big whoop.
Living where I live, that means absolutely nothing.
Now, I got a [...]

Are all liberal talk show peeps stupid?

Now, I don’t believe that to be necessarily true, I just can’t find one I think is terribly smart.  Today’s example is Thom Hartmann.  In 2005, he tried convincing people that Jimmy Carter tried to prevent the Bush Energy Disasters - 28 years ago.  Now, the reason he states this is because Jimmy gave a [...]

The Democrat solutions to high fuel prices

Posted by Moonage on 29 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy

We’ve already seen what Nancy Pelosi has done for rocketing energy prices, she’s made it worse.  Now, we’ve got Harry Reid tackling the issue since it’s obvious Nancy’s ideas just make things worse.
Another item under consideration for Reid’s bill is a demand that the Bush administration put pressure on Saudi Arabia and other OPEC-member nations [...]
