Idealogy trumps everything else if you are a lib or communist.

Socialism ideology destroyed the USSR as surely as it will destroy us unless we now erase our mistake in allowing it power.

After all the caterwauling about gas prices during the Bush Administration, I’m absolutely amazed at how placidly Americans are reacting this time around. There’s some low-level annoyance, but no real anger.

Mr. President: You’re an idiot. If you think something like the demand for distillate fuels is not going to see tax increases passed onto consumers, you’re an idiot. If you really want to help the American people, the following would really help: 1) by Executive Order, open up drilling everywhere in the US, including the Gulf, ANWR, and offshore, 2) get rid of the EPA, 3) reduce all gov’t permitting processes to a max of two months, 4) resign.

hussein (of Congress): “They can stand with the big oil companies, or they can stand with the American people.” He claimed energy manufacturers would absorb the new taxes rather than passing them on to the consumer in the form of higher gas prices.

hussein, you're a liar, a fool, or both. If you really believe companies work that way, by just absorbing higher costs, you're a fool. If you don't really believe that, then you just stood in front of Congress and the American people and lied - again. The lies spewing forth from your pie-hole are so egregious, so prevalent, that it almost isn't worth noting. Literally, if hussein's lips are moving, he's probably lying.

Quit trying to demonize big oil. In fact, quit trying to demonize {insert group here}. That shtick is getting very, very old.

Instead, their bill used the majority of the money to increase the subsidies to their political allies in the intermittent energy business.

I like that phrasing.

Let’s not forget what Obama mouthpiece and cheerleader CNN says.....high gas prices are good for us.
