Liberals are rather aghast that some people assert Obama’s policies have driven the price of gas in this country through the roof. Now that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s become an issue to be debated seriously. And, it is: who is at fault for these gas prices? Public OpinionPoll Results And: And: Gas [...]

Good question! QuestionsView Results What’s that you say? I left something out? Oh yeah. How many people would have answered differently if they had known it was Sarah Palin? Be honest.

The Energy Information Administration, who touts themselves as “Official Energy Statistics from the US Government”, released a rather astounding conclusion. While most people have been scare-mongering by saying Waxman-Markey will practically bankrupt most lower income people through much higher energy prices, EIA says this is not true at all: ACESA increases energy prices, but effects [...]
