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..

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.

You're absolutely right, Norm. If we had drilled ANWAR, back when Senator Inhofe suggested 10 years ago, we would have reaped another important benefit—millions and millions of dollars would not have gone to support terrorists.

I'm not certain ANWAR would completely do away with our foreign oil habit, but any reduction would help and it would certainly mean less funds for those who want to kill us. Imagine, 9-11 might not have happened if “he who must not be named” hadn't had oil money from Saudi Arabia, et al.
