On another note (taken from Gail Collins in the NYTimes today): McCain’s got alottanerve telling Congress to get back to work. He’s a Senator and hasn’t set foot in the Senate for a long time . . . much longer a time than Obama.

Actually, McCain is out campaigning and has been in the Senate much much longer than Barack.

It is the democrats, LGM, who have a lot of nerve to deny an up and down vote on drilling and then go on vacation to campaign to the American people.

Lucky for you, many of them are stupid enough (thanks to secondary and post-secondary education indoctrination of left-wing values) to believe your party’s cover story (environmental catastrophe and global warming) for the REAL agenda (no more Christianity and formation of a socialists state).

You seemed to question the statement. That’s what.

That is an entirely accurate fact. McCain hasn’t been on the floor since April.

so what?

Are you serious with this statement?

Republicans do not actually have an energy plan that would make a noticeable difference in gas prices in the next 4 years. All they want is more drilling, and they want that because the drillers are paying them to want it.

In the long run, this stunt will backfire on Republicans like the Schiavo stunt did.

Let’s see…LGM accuses republicans of not having an energy plan, but all you can come up with is Terry Schiavo?

I guess it’s a little better than Barack’s flip-flopping and Pelosi’s book tour.

And actually, several republicans, including Norm Coleman of Minnesota, support alternative energy.

Drilling will immediately bring down prices. In case you haven’t noticed, LGM, your party is blaming, in part, the speculators.

Guess what? Supply-side economics works! And no amount of big liberal government spending can change that !

So, if the totalitarian House democrats would simply allow us to drill, the price would come down because of the basic economic rule of supply and demand, and believe it or not, the speculators MAKE money even when the price goes DOWN!

I bet the, poor “intimated” MSM isn’t reporting on that!

so what’s the problem?

1. Dems/libs think they hold a lock on these ideas
2. Dems/libs attitude: our way is best even if it is wrong (we have a consensus)
3. Dems/libs attitude part II – our way or hit the highway
4. Dems/libs idea of conservation is to jet around the globe telling everyone to pump air in their tires and change their light bulbs (before we have congress make you do it – and we will)

Should I go on?

Those are all well and good…but isnt any difference better than the alternative?

And legislation on the table now, that dems wont sign or even vote on, also contains measures for alternative fuels and research. so what’s the problem?
