Pelosi's Energy Independence Day (1 yr later)
« on: July 01, 2008, 02:23:18 PM »
From the good folks at Hot Air...

Quote
In May 2007, Nancy Pelosi announced amid great fanfare that the Democrats had made July 4, 2007 Energy Independence Day.  Castigating George Bush for his inaction on energy policy, Pelosi noted that gas prices had reached record levels and that the newly-enacted Democratic majority would take charge of energy policy to take back the leadership from “Big Oil”.  Pay close attention to the chart behind Pelosi at the beginning:

Yes, that gas price listed behind Pelosi is $3.05, a slightly high estimate of the average pump price at the time. Pelosi brags about all of the action taken in the first 100 hours of the new Democratic Congress in boosting subsidies for ethanol — “sending money to the Midwest instead of the Middle East” — and stripping Big Oil of its “subsidies”, which were in fact tax breaks on production. What Pelosi failed to mention was that gas prices at the pump were $2.24 per gallon in January of that year, and that under Democratic leadership, prices went up over 30%.
And note that Pelosi complained that the highest price for gas could be found in her San Francisco district without ever explaining why.

Can't wait to see what the Dems do next to "fix" the energy problem.  :whatever:

whining hasn't worked out so well.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The video is not working. I have noticed lots of political Youtube videos seem to disappear lately. I wonder why?
