Thank you George Bush and the Republicans for selling us out to the special interests on this one.

Damn, I remember the Jimmy Carter ethanol push and the introduction of it into automobile fuels back in the late seventies, but I never knew the fat investments companies made back then were because Dub told them to do it.

Once there's twelve or sixteen years of republican majorities in both houses of Congress, then I'll listen to "the republicans did it". Until then, any crap you blame on them is just reciting democrat propaganda since they couldn't even get something to the floor of either chamber without democrat approval for the vast majority of the past forty years .

I know over half the repubs are scum, but they're definitely the lesser of two evils as well as being the easier of the two parties to clean up. Since it's them or the Marxists, I'm for cleaning the republicans up once they're back to parity or majority in both houses, not playing the "they're all alike" game that ends up ceding everything to the democrat Marxists.

have a nice day

You need to straighten out your facts Jack. The E10 MANDATE was passed by republicans and signed into law by Bush in 2005. So damn, I remember Jimmy Carter as president, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't president in 2005.

Have a nice day.

Oh and for you information - from the heritage foundation web site

The 2005 energy bill contained the first-ever requirement that these fuels be mixed into the nation's gasoline supply. Beginning in 2006, the mandate came on top of massive subsidies and tax breaks already enjoyed by domestic ethanol producers.

Last time I looked the REPUBLICANS were in the MAJORITY in both houses in 2005, and had been since 1994, so save your lame bushbot blame it on Jimmy Carter and the Democrats bull sh!t for someone who's impressed by fiction. There is a reason that the Republicans lost the last couple of national elections big time, and this is part of it.
