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
