Taking the blame.
Hey Nancy Pelosi promised a year and a half ago she was all over this issue.
“That is the lesson that our friends on the other side have forgotten, that supply is really important to cost. They simply seem to have no conception of that”
Indeed!
It’s sad they can’t get their message out. I think it shows the dire need the party has in leadership. Why isn’t the President getting this message out?
It’s McLame stupid. No one in the GOP has the cajones to tell him to STFU.
Bump!
What Are Republicans Doing About High Gas Prices?
In a word - nothing.
Blaming Demo-rats is all ....
Go to Powerline about how having McCain is going to hamper GOP efforts to rightly blame the D for this:
Highlights:
“But it’s going to be difficult, if not impossible, for Republicans to get traction on the energy issue without help at the top of the ticket. Here, the problem is that John McCain long ago signed on to the anthropogenic global warming fallacy. As a result, his energy policies can scarcely be distinguished from those of the Democrats. This was in evidence this morning, when McCain appeared on NBC’s Today Show.”
LAUER: ... drill in the wilderness areas, because that’s still oil, oil, oil. Your energy plan will take us away from oil?
MCCAIN: Oh, it’ll have to. We have to. Not only because of the compelling reasons of the price of gasoline [Ed.: Huh?], but also because of greenhouse gas emissions.
Let me ask you this question: As Americans go to the polls in November to vote for the next president, what do you think we’re going to be paying for a gallon of gasoline?
MCCAIN: I’m not sure, because I think part of it depends on how it looks like we are making advances in — toward alternate energy. Look...
(CROSSTALK)
LAUER: Can we make advances in that short time?
MCCAIN: Oh, I think we can certainly show some progress in the development of a battery that will take a car 100 miles or so before you have to plug it in. And plans for — concrete plans to move forward with nuclear power plants — with a lot of other things.

I can’t take this anymore.
They are sitting on Gull Island and bodacious amounts of other oil deposits thats NOT ANWR.. legal and drillable but still a secret to almost all Americans..
Shuush they are keeping it a SECRET.. WHY?.. WHy indeed..
Its the EXECUTIVE BRANCH THATS KEEPING IT A SECRET..
You know. BUUUUSH... and the Interior Dept..
Michael Savage says gas prices would drop to $2.50 a gallon if Bush would take Iraqi oil.
But Bush’s oil buddies wont let him do that, they want to keep prices high.
This is the wrong question to be asking. The question that should be asked is...Why didn't the Republicans have the balls to do something about this when they controlled both houses of Congress and the White House? They can make all the lame excuses they want now, but there is no excuse for having done nothing when they were in control. They all make me sick.
Democrat politicians and activist judges have been blocking our country getting to our sources of oil or building refineries for 35 plus years.
If all the public took active rolls in learning what is really happening in politics, most of America would throw Democrats out, the rest would have their hands out looking to take other people’s money.
