Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks. The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves. So, the whole [...]

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 [...]

Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog:
When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed both [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 been [...]

Two headlines today I think sum up the Democrat financial agenda very adeptly:
Senate Considers Windfall Profits Tax on Big Oil
And
Obama: Give economy $50 billion boost
Now, without necessarily going into the pros and cons, or the nuts and bolts, it’s just typical of teh Democrat bigger government policy. Rather than fixing the problem, just tax more [...]

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:
That’s the [...]

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 gasoline [...]
