I’ve Got Gas
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:27 am by Preston Taylor HolmesIt looks like the House GOP is trying to grow a pair thanks to high gas prices.
The letter is signed by Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Conference Chairman Adam Putnam (R-Fla.), Policy Chairman Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) as well as other members of leadership: Reps. Kay Granger (R-Texas), John Carter (R-Texas), Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Eric Cantor (R-Va.).
In a press release dated April 24, 2006, Pelosi said, “Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels.” The letter cited policies put in place during the GOP control of Congress that the Speaker claimed had raised prices on American consumers to benefit oil companies.
The House GOP leaders’ letter points out that the price of gasoline has spiked $1.18 since Democrats took over in January and stands at $3.51.
The ugly truth is that both left and right are to blame. The left for killing our ability to search for domestic sources of oil as well as keeping us from building more refineries to increase production using the oil already available, and the right for being a bunch of limp-wristed pansies for not fighting back – and for smooching the starfishes of every royal family scumbag in the Saudi kingdom.
If you hideously mentally deficient freaks of an unkind nature didn’t persist in voting for your Big Nanny candidates, then new refineries would have been built, domestic resources would have been utilized, nuclear energy would be the norm for domestic energy purposes and we wouldn’t have a bunch of functionally retarded politicians pushing an ethanol scam that ALREADY has caused sky-rocketing food prices and worldwide famine, as any even half-way sentient orangutan could have told you. As a matter of fact, a lot of people DID tell you, and not all of them orangutans either, but you drooling fucktards just couldn’t quit your fascination with the public teat for long enough to actually vote INTELLIGENTLY.
So when you’re having a nosebleed filling up the tank at the gas station, THANK YOURSELVES.
When you’re having to pop half a bottle of Xanax to dull the edge of the anxiety when paying your utility bills, THANK YOURSELVES.
And when the airwaves are flooded 24/7 with pictures of starving, fly-bothered infants with beach ball tummies in the third world, THANK YOURSELVES.
Will the combination of crippling oil prices and global food shortages slap our moronic politicians into reality? Don’t count on it.

The politicians know that there’s always Brawndo. It has electrolytes!

What ever happened to the old bushel of wheat for a barrel of oil? Maybe (in the long run) the bio-fuel push will create that type trade off. Hell, I can ride a mule a lot longer than they can eat sand.
