The Democrats have relied entirely on conservation, which means, in essence, “do without.”

The dirty little secret is that liberals LIKE high gas prices. High prices mean fewer SUVs and exurbs and fewer CO2 omissions - all things liberals hate (because they represent freedom).

But they seldom will come out and be honest and say that.

Nothing wrong with conservation. I’m glad that word seems to be making a comeback. Conserve American domestic oil field/exploration/drilling jobs. Conserve American energy independence. Drill ANWR and Gitmo and build a moat around the DC beltway so they can’t get in or out!

What they mean specifically by "do without" is that you and I should do without. The democRAT elites, or the limousine liberals as they're called, will never "do without". They will continue to drive or ride in their chauffer-driven large SUV, and they will continue to keep their thermostats at 72 degrees.
