The election of 2008 was running pretty good for John McCain for a while. He had chipped away at Obama’s lead for a while and gotten a good boost from the publicity of the national convention and his choice for vice president. Then, a couple of things seemed to totally derail his entire campaign. I [...]

Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats. I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush. However, it’s got thorns attached. From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals: [...]

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 [...]

Saudi Arabia has announced it’s increasing production by 200,000 barrels a day. There are some thoughts I have about the article. “Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world’s appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run.” I wonder what gave them that idea? Could it have [...]

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 [...]

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall. Obama’s already testing it. Clinton has worn it out already. Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem. When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing: [...]

This folks, is nuts: “We’re going to go right at OPEC,” Clinton said, on a last-minute campaign swing ahead of Tuesday’s Indiana and North Carolina primary clashes against her Democratic rival Barack Obama. “They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in [...]

On April 24, 2006, Nancy Pelosi made this promise: With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular [...]

Mike Huckabee had this to say in what I think is a response to the gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia: Every time we put our credit card in the gas pump, we’re paying so that the Saudis get rich — filthy, obscenely rich, and that money then ends up going to funding madrassas,” schools “that [...]

John Edwards is now calling upon Bush to tap into the federal natural gas reserves to combat skyrocketing prices. Citing prices in New Hampshire, he had this to say: “American families are facing skyrocketing home heating oil and gasoline prices, while big oil companies earn massive profits…..” “We need to stand up to the oil [...]
