Pelosi and the price of gas [Senior Moment Alert!]
Politico.com ^ | 4/25/08 | Anne Schroeder

Posted on 04/25/2008 5:47:04 PM PDT by melt

More Republicans are having a field day over the fact that Nancy Pelosi doesn't know the price of gas?

Check out the transcript from "Larry King" last night:

CNN’s LARRY KING: “I want to get this right. In a 2006 press release, you declared Democrats have a ‘common sense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices.’ Gasoline now, it keeps going up – record high in the history of gasoline. What happened?”

SPEAKER PELOSI: “Well, it’s almost three times what it was when President Bush took office. It was $1-something when he took office. Now it’s $2.56, on average, but it’s higher in California – “

LARRY KING: “I think $3.50 they’re saying now. “

SPEAKER PELOSI: “$3.50, oh, down six cents. It’s higher where I’m from in California, sad to say.”

No she doesn't. It's all covered in her Taxpayer funded KongressKRITTER Medical plan.

What she doesn’t know is that the price of gas, when a republican congress and president had power, went from 1.40 to 2.15 per gallon, after the dems took control in 2006 it started rising and went from 2.15 to, in CA, 3.97 per. So, where is the savings Pelosi, where is the great decrease in Gas prices under the Dems? You already have control, so where is it? I can’t believe how wimpy our republican congress critters are, except to think they are in league with the Dems.

It was $1-something when he took office. Now it’s $2.56, on average,

A dollar *something* is a whole lot more than what it really was, which was in the high *dollar*, around $1.70 or so .... *dollar something* is what I remember in the late 1970's when gas hit a whopping *dollar* and seven cents ....

No point, I'm just sayin' ...........

...Pelosi doesn't know the price of gas...

The Republicans are gloating over that, are they? What the hell were they doing when they were in a majority to boost domestic production and refining, or to get more nukes going?

They were outspending the Democrats and talking Global Warming bullshiite, that's what. If ever a political party deserved to die, the GOP is it. They are just lucky none of us can figure out what to replace them with and not hand the whole show over to the Democrats.
Useless toads!

I think it's safe to say that she doesn't know her a$$ from third base about anything! The woman is truly ignorant. I am continually amazed that a woman this dumb could rise to the position that she holds.

Well, maybe she did misspeak the price, said $2.56 when she meant $3.56.

So what?

What about the plan? The common sense plan? The plan to bring down gas prices? The plan she promised?

Where is it?

(Not that I want one. Any rat plan means only two things: higher taxes and more regulation. But still, someone should press her on this great big promise she made.)

Nothing about Bugeyes is True! whether its her hair color, facial appearance or anything she supports, states or pushes in her agenda. Remember only 149000 total votes in her loony district got her elected and Piglousy acts like she is the Empress and Sole Dictator of Our Great America.

I just watched the video. I don’t think her face is on straight. She keeps trying to adjust it with some weird contortions of her jaw muscles. Like the whole thing is about to fall off into her lap. What a sight THAT would be.

[The GOP] are just lucky none of us can figure out what to replace them with and not hand the whole show over to the Democrats.

One of the best lines I have seen -- to express the frustration that many (if not most) of us here are experiencing!

Apparently you have never heard Barbara Boxer speak. I think her real job is to make Diane Feinstein look smart (er).
