Republicans Offer Plan on Gas Prices (2006)

NYTimes ^ | April 27, 2006 | DAVID STOUT

[JimWayne]

Republican senators offered a relief package today for a public dismayed by rising gasoline prices. They also proposed new government investments in alternative fuels, like ethanol, and in hybrid vehicles, and they pledged to aggressively investigate whether some petroleum companies are guilty of price gouging. ... Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania blamed "the obstruction of the folks on the other side," ... the Republican senators' package calls for giving the administration new authority to raise fuel-efficiency standards; spending $1.1 billion on alternative-fuels research and $1.8 billion on hybrid-vehicle research...

Rick Santorum wants to run for POTUS.Rick Santorum supported ethanol as fuel and robbing us of our money to give it to those who make hybrid vehicles.Rick Santorum also supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey. We should never forgive any politician and should oppose Rick Santorum's bid. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

While I don’t think Rick Santorum would be a
good Pres candidate; your post seems to be a
crossed-construction of the Slimes piece.

You are duly discounted.

[JimWayne]

Your claim is lame. The Slimes piece mentions the numbers that RINOs diverted for alternative energy. Besides, Santorum is a Mitt Romney supporter. He endorsed Romney on Laura Ingraham’s show. Do you want me to give you the link to the audio? Clearly, you are a RINO.

If this is what Pubbie Senators think they deserve to be kicked out along with the Dims! These damn fools apparently have bought the liberal nonsense hook, line, and sinker. Of course the article is from the NYT so I am hedging my bet.

[Cyber Ninja]

Sure, give me the link.

For the record, I don’t care for Santorum or Romney.

I would draft DeMint & Ryan.

There is no need to discount the article. It is accurate. I looked for a reference because I remembered that Rick Santorum was involved in supporting this garbage. It just so happened that my Google search gave me the Slime link which was convenient. Slimes is not lying on this one. In fact, they provide numbers. Another reason that Slimes is not really bothered by this part back then is that they were more worried about preventing drilling in ANWR.

Rick Santorum endorses Mitt Romney and calls him a conservative

It is possible that Santorum is running to get his name mentioned in the media anticipating a Romney victory and being chosen the running mate. If that scenario happens, they can fool the conservatives, some of whom will say, "We've no choice but support Romney, but at least he has a REAL conservative as his running mate." Hopefully, all RINOs will be defeated early on.
