The starting point of any discussion of America's energy future has to be this: Shortsighted politicians have created the current energy crisis.
For decades left-leaning politicians have advocated higher prices and less energy. They were going to save the environment by punishing Americans into driving less and driving smaller cars. Now their policies have succeeded with a vengeance.
The very left wing politicians who favored a policy of no oil and gas exploration, no use of coal, no development of nuclear power, and no aggressive development of new technologies are now panic-stricken that their policies of higher prices have led to higher prices.
And now the same shortsighted, dishonest politicians who created the crisis are blaming everyone but themselves for the crisis. Because they refuse to be honest about the policies which led to this crisis, they can't be honest about the policies that will lead us out of it.

Is the cure appearing in a TV ad with Nancy Pelosi, produced by Al Gore’s ecotard cult?
Another arrogant dirt worshiper.
Unfortunately, Newt contributes to the problem by buying into the global warming hoax.
What a Neutard. Hey Newt, did Nancy Pelosi get you a hooker for sitting subserviently with her in your Al Gore Commercial? That guy is stuck on Stupid. Newt you are yesterday’s news - nobody cares what you say anymore. Nancy can say it for you. Again, you are a friggin’ RETARD.
Newt addressed this very issue at a book signing I attended recently. Although I beleive we don’t give the left an ich on this issue, he doesn’t either in his explanation.
What he is trying to do is to get into the discussion and not be on the sidelines shouting “no way”. By getting into the discussion, at least he will have a place at the table to represent his view of the science and the psuedo-science in a comparative arguement that will bring to light their dishonest agendas. (assuming the discussion will be a civil one, and history is not kind to that assumption)
Rightly or wrongly I seem to have decided that Newt doesn’t have anything to say to me anymore. I see his name on a column, I move on. Sad, but true.

Grab a sofa and tell it to Nancy, Newt.
...and conservative politicians like yourself are left holding the bag, Newt. Doing any more "Save the Earth" commercials with Nancy Pelosi? Moron.
That’s all well and good but you don’t ‘get in the conversation’ by conceding every important point to the other side as you move in. There is absolutely NOTHING he says in that commercial or anywhere else that I have seen or heard that doesn’t support the ecotard view.
Newt is an embarrassment - chasing the spotlight.
Really appalling thing is that if you did every single thing the Democrats advocate in their latest “Energy plan” US gas prices and International Oil prices will skyrocket
Whenever Duh-Newt comes on radio or tv I turn it off
But what we have here has got to be one of the most profoundly stupid and monumentally ignorant threads of the day, and maybe of the week. Did a single one of you Neanderthals and hillbillies actually bother to follow the link in #2 and to read Newt's proposals?
No, of course not.
If your collective grunts and snorts were any more coherent I'd swear someone was paying you post them. But instead it looks like you're grandstanding for the simple pleasure of being ID'd as one more stupid Newt-hater.
Did Newtie kick sand in your face at the beach?
Now I'll go read the article and see what's going on.
It has nothing to do with their shortsightedness. If they would stay within the bounds of their Constitutional authority we wouldn't have these problems, even if they were longsighted.
“Did a single one of you Neanderthals and hillbillies actually bother to follow the link in #2 and to read Newt’s proposals?”
Probably not.
Exactly why I just stayed out of it. LOL
However, if you give the ecofascists an inch, they will take a mile. Do you think ANYBODY in the media will give this the time of day? Of course they won't. But you can bet your ass that if the ecofascist need cover to destroy our way of life, the media outlets will trumpet his little ad with Pelosi nonstop. "See? Even a right-wing ideologue like Gingrich agrees with cap in trade!", they'll say. Do you think Newt will be allowed to participate in the debate? I've got news for you: He won't, because as far as they're concerned, there is no debate, and no dissent will be tolerated.
He's being used, and at the end of the day they'll throw him under a hybrid bus being driven by James Hanson and the Goracle.
