Sessions, a member of the Senate’s Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, went a step further. He cited sources that suggest the increase could be as much as $5 a gallon.

“[L]et me tell you what’s heading down the tracks,” Sessions said to BMI on May 14. “In a few weeks, we expect that the cap-and-trade legislation that’s been voted out of Sen. Barbara Boxer’s (D-Calif.) Environment and Public Works Committee will be on the floor and according to the Environmental Protection Agency it will increase gas prices by $1.50. The National Association of Manufacturers says it will increase it as much as $5 per gallon.”

Lieberman-Warner, McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, that ‘post-partisanship’ reachin’ ‘cross the aisle is a real arse-kicker sometimes..

It’s gonna be a long hot summer..

One of many methods socialists employ to control the masses, create a strong centralized form of government at the expense of our Democratic Republic and is anathema to our founding fathers intentions when the wrote the Constitution. Man the phones, faxes and emails to let them hear the wrath of the people. The toll free Capitol switchboard number is 1-800-965-4701. Congress critter ping!

If gas hits $8.00/$9.00 a gallon this summer, there will be a revolt. Big time.

Isn’t this the basis of McCains engery policy?

And he wants to cut 18 cents off the cost for three months;then add maybe as much as 5 dollars a gallon.

Hell with the 2nd admendment, let’s go right to the bill of rights.

“What ever happened to the “Representative Republic” that I used to live in?”

That’s exactly what I meant.

I also hate it when the word Democratic is used.

Yea, this is what McCain is promising if elected and if you bad mouth him for it there are some here who will defend him.

Sorry. I wasn't thinking too clearly through all the socialist haze.

Inhofe is alone, nearly alone. The American voters elected all these representatives and apparently instructed them to save the planet at any cost. It was over in 2006.

Kempo, in case you haven’t noticed a lot of the pro McCain people are turning.

The tide has already changed and everyday their defense of him is getting weaker.

Soon, very soon there will be none.

My hope is that McCain loses in November. Conservatives need to finially stand on what they believe.

If McCain wants my vote he has to earn it, and just having an R doesn’t do it for me.

I will not waste my vote on a socialist, a vote that was paid for with thw blood of our servicemen.

I owe them more than that.

He lost me with his Al Gore speech. I’ll set this election out.

“The Democrats are the reason we have high prices at the pumps, and we’re not going to be able to alleviate that until we start producing again in America,” Inhofe added. “And I knew this was happening way back, well 10 years ago, when President Clinton vetoed the bill that would have allowed us to drill in ANWR. I said on the Senate floor that day 10 years ago that in 10 years we would regret this. It’s now 10 years later.”

Truer words were never uttered. We have it within our grasp to become independent of foreign oil within the next 15 years or so, if we can shut up the enviro-nuts, the tree huggers and the liberal idiots who place a higher value on snail darters than on the secure future of this grand experiment.

I’m so sick of the PC, multi-culti, enviro-whackos that I’m about to hurl.
