The farm bill fiasco has put the final nail in the Republican coffin........a ban on all earmarks won’t help if you continue to vote for bills like the farm bill. Words must be backed up by actions!
The Dem on FOX just talked about not wanting to give amnesty to telecommunications companies that ‘collaborated with the Bush administration’. #@#%%&&&@@@####!!!
Here is question that should be asked of all the Democrats on these shows but will not.
Excuse me, Democrats activist, candidate, politician,
According to the press release sent out the Democrat Party is claiming that their plan to stop the US Govt from buying 70,000 barrels a day into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will reduce costs at the pump for American Consumers as much as $.25 in the next 40 days
If increasing the supply of Oil by 70,000 barrels a day will have such an impact at the pump, why has the Liberal Democrats Congress repeated blocked the US from increasing it domestic Oil production by 1,000,000 barrels a day by allowing production in ANWR? Why has the Liberal Democrat Congress blocked any increased production of Oil anywhere in the USA?
Democrats in Congress, can you explain why US Oil Production, despite record world wide demand for Oil, has been steadily dropping since 1986?
U.S. Crude Oil Field Production (Thousand Barrels per Day)

I sit here astounded that the Republicans chose to send this Tom Cole character upon our TV’s! I don’t know the guy but he voted FOR that joke of a farm bill.
I have not heard a thing yet about drilling in our own country or the Maxine Waters socialist comment.
Instead I listen to bullying defense of out of control pubbie spending!
I ask again, ladies and gems....WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?
No wait. Tom Cole....the NEW Republicans.
Conservatives, suck it up and shut up.
The farm bill is to buy off the cuban sugar cane growers in Florida. Winning FL without the Cubans is impossible and the sugar money (plus totally corrupt things like MIA and the Ports of Miami) is the lubricant.
I’m reasonably sure that reading comprehension was NOT the first thing noted on Courtney’s interview review.
Nobody on Fox could pass a junior high school science or geography test.
Apparently, from the figures in #38 the electorate understands that the country has taken a nose dive. 75% disapproval! Only 18.7% approve.
Did they forget that the Rats took over control of congress or do they remember that MANY pubbies went along with the Rats as long as they got their own piece of pork?
Do they realize the Rats are trying to run the country into the ground or do they realize the Pubs are going right along with the Rats out of cowardice, laziness or greed?
IOW I don't get how the Rats get a pass for leading the charge against the USA. I do get how people are pissed that Pubbies have gone along all too often.
Forget the blonde. Where did FNC dig up that sleazy looking smart assed punk sitting on her left?
How does this help Republican’s again? I am completely disgusted with Republican “leadership”. The new crop of young guns running in attainable seats Tom Manion (Gold Star Father and Marine Colonel PA-8th)(Craig Williams - Marine F-18 Aviator and US Attorney Counsel PA-7th)need to win and take charge. These are the kind of Republicans we need to take charge and carry out a conservative agenda! P.S. They need your support $$$$$$! They are up against MoveOn lackeys Patrick Murphy and Joe Sestak. The Republican “leadership” in their districts are also a joke and just about worthless.
I guess we have to get to $5.00 per gallon before the rats will take any gamble at all with any of their constituencies.
Did anyone here ever believe that a political fringe group--the enviro rats-- could hold a political party hostage or that the political party would be that stupid!!
It's truly amazing how insipid groups like this can watch an entire country go down in flames while clinging to their little power grab at any cost.
I hope this costs the dem rats big time! It sure as hell is costing the country!!
Boone Pickens on CNBC last week estimated that at $100 per barrel we transfer 600 billion to terrorists countries in the Mid-East that consider us infidels and would just as soon slit our throats.
At 600 billion per year we go bankrupt, accd. to Pickens,in 10 years. At $150 per barrel, do the math 6-7 years or less.
All because we can't have nukes or drill where the oil is. I hope these rat bastards are happy
Wow what a VP Rove would make! Great suggestion!
My guess is they current GOP does not care about the GOP - only getting re-elected themselves. I have a good candidate in my district that will recover a GOP seat we lost last in 06.

I’m not so sure the price of gas and oil is as bad as the fact that we are shipping so much wealth out of the country. If we got the dollar half way back energy prices would be low.
What you see at the pump is transfer of wealth.
