Last week, liberals in Congress voted for the equivalent of a $150 billion tax increase. They voted to make your next trip to the gas station more expensive; to make your next airplane ticket more expensive; to make heating your home more expensive -- even to make feeding your family more expensive.
How did they do it? By voting to block environmentally sound production of U.S. energy in favor of continuing to be held hostage to oil from foreign dictatorships...

Nice liberal bashing propaganda. Skim the article and anyone can figure that out.

Let's assume it's true and the liberals in Congress are solely responsible for the high price of oil. How many more things are the conservative nut jobs responsible for? Yeah, you're right, I guess picking this country apart like a bunch of vultures isn't so bad...

Yea that's a very biased article but it did it's job. It got me wondering just why they voted to not drill in Colorado. I'm sure the numbers are worked so that it looks great. Wouldn't it also add more jobs to that area? How much polution would it cause and would it give us long term reach? 150 billion? Seems like a lot of money but spread it out over the 300 million and over the year and it's not as bad.

Animal, you may not like conservatives, but are you really gonna be more comfortable with a Marxist as your new leader?

Rick Moran, in his post, "Obama's Alliance with Marxists," wonders, "Are we about to elect a president who has made common political cause with Marxists?"

Moran's questioning Obama's ties to the "New Party," an electoral vehicle formed in the 1990s to elect extreme left-wing candidates to office:

Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party's short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party.

Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party's Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.

The New Party's modus operandi included the political strategy of "electoral fusion," where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates' platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states -- Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont -- but is common only in New York.)

Though Illinois was not one of the states that permitted electoral fusion, in 1995 Barack Obama nonetheless sought the New Party's endorsement for his 1996 state senate run. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

It's not about blaming congress for the high price of oil, even though they block every bill that would move us toward energy independence, which would honestly result in lower energy costs. I'm not liberal bashing either. The friggin republicans aren't doing shit either. The government is pretty fucked right now no matter how you look at it, and the future doesn't look to bright either.

It's about preventing the ruination of our economy that's already struggling.

there is no preventing it

nature is running its course

sit back and enjoy watching the slow train wreck

I find myself unexpectedly agreeing with some liberal opinions previously posted. You’re right! It’s not just Congress fault… They’re just part of it. It is also the fault of the Liberal Establishment in the West that has turned the entertainment industry, the news-media, and academia into well-oiled machines for extreme whacko left-wing propaganda and is indoctrinating our children into a bunch of things that, at best, are myths. Like the global warming fiasco. If anybody take the time to read material coming not just from the foaming-at-the-mouth ultra liberal crowd, but also from some scientists with the utmost credibility who are singing a different song, you would realize that this environmental movement is just another power-grabbing scam.

Many of the scientists that are now debunking this myth are former supporters of it, and come from countries known for leaning to the left like Canada, Germany, and France.

In the meantime, we're not drilling in a very small area of the Anwar, or in the Gulf of Mexico, just because these environmentalists (most of which are recycled Marxists who lost their ideological home when Communism LOST and the Berlin Wall was taken down by anti-marxist germans) have the democratic congress wrapped around their finger.

Get ready for $10-$15 a gallon, because Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and even China for God's sake are either drilling already, or preparing to drill in the Gulf. Canada is already drilling in the northern part of the continent, on the other side of the Alaskan border. But we can't, because Bill Clinton vetoed the bill during this administration and Congress is in the hands of of democrats.

The worst thing is that the democratic party today doesn't hold the slightest ideological resemblance to the democratic party of 25-30 years ago. I used to be a registered democrat, but since the party has been hijacked by the extreme liberal left I found my self evicted from my political home. Just like Joe Liebermann. I was a proud register democrat in the days of Bob Graham, Dante Fascell, Joe Lieberman, Lindon Johnson, etc. I don't believe I will ever again vote democrat.

Wake up and smell the ozone people!!!
