Congress is over the line, way over the line, and they could not give a hoot who is hurt by these outrageous oil prices.

But, but, I thought that Democrat majority was going to take care of all this.

Republicans should hammer at this at every opportunity. And be pro-renewables at the same time. It's not an either-or question.

This WILL win elections.

Congressman John Dingell (D-Michigan) recently proposed imposing a 50-cent tax on every gallon of gasoline to try to cut back on Americans' consumption.

Oh, yeah, that'll really work for those who have no choice but to drive to work for a living, or drive for a living.

Idiot.

The people who vote for democrats are idiots also and they do not even realize it.

I don’t know how many conservative republicans are left, though there are some.

O’Bammys tv ads here in Indiana (seen approx every 10 minutes) promise that a windfall profits tax will reduce oil prices.
Only a fool (and we have plenty of them here) would believe that approach would work.

I'll keep saying it, regardless of sounding like a broken record - if Bush had any balls, he'd declare that in the interest of national security, domestic natural resources must be exploited for the common welfare of The Republic, and keep the dirt-worshipers herded at gunpoint while we start poking holes in the ground.

McCain is being stupid in attacking the NC GOP. (he is defending hillary and obama not attacking them!)

The Senate leadership is non-existant

The house leadership is MIA

The RNC is busy trying to push RINOS.

we are lucky the GOP congress critters are not prostrate before pelosi.

I couldn't agree more the polititian who stands up and tells the American people the truth about why there is a supply shortage of gasoline will win votes, not lose them.

The liberal left counts of stupidity of its blind and foolish base and that is the democrat party and half of the country.

, or drive for a living.

One of my sons is a long-hauler for a major outfit - the drivers are going into the hole - they are turning in their leases and heading home in droves and the OO's are parking their rigs as all they can see in front of them is a hole getting deeper every day...

The gov't better stop worrying so much about the people who let themselves get sucked into mortgages they couldn't afford and pay attention to the gas disaster and, particularly, the truckers.

95% or more of everything we buy is TRUCKED - the super markets have only a 2 day supply on hand at any time, the warehouses across the country no long store any goods - a truck comes into one bay and unloads, that load goes straight out on another truck and off to it's final destination.

If the trucks stop rolling, we are all going to be in deep sh - ah, stuff.

And it IS all politically orchestrated with an eye toward winning the election. I was living in Calif. in 79 when Carter was up for his 2nd term...and the gas "shortage" hit. I remember the lines, the prices.

And I remember friends who worked in the oil fields being temp. laid off because many active, pumping well were ordered shut down....liars, crooks, traitors all.

[if Bush had any balls,]

He would not have cowtowed to the left wing and destroyed all his support from the right wing that he left hanging in the wind.

To the liberal mind there's nothing that a good stiff tax can't fix.

We conservatives really need to start a third party, the GOP is liberal now and there is not a conservative party left in America.

couldn’t we start a SECOND party first?

McCain is clearly a democrat who can’t spell. (trouble with D and R)

Third party is a losing proposition. I think we are doing the right thing now by denying money to McCain.
