Stupid Is as Stupid Does: Democrats Prop Up Price of Oil
Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 10:26PM It can not get any clearer than this post by RK, "Thank You for Voting No to Off-Shore Drilling", to display exactly why Virginian's are paying $4 a gallon for gasoline! The Liberals are thanking anyone inclined to vote against increasing domestic production; ala Governor Mark Warner, who vetoed off-shore drilling, and continuing to shackle the United States to foreign oil.
You have folks who decry the speculators for raising the price of oil on Wall Street, but at the same time give them all the comfort they need, by insuring that the world's oil supply will remain constricted, by not allowing off-shore drilling in the USA, or in ANWR.
Governor Jim Gilmore skewers this exact subject here.
He is exactly right, that if the Greatest Industrial Nation on earth is serious about increasing domestic supply; the markets will cave tomorrow! Governor Gilmore is right, the speculators have driven up the price of oil, because they know they have democrats willing to constrict supply.
Right now the Iranian Prime Minister can 'Fart' that they are going to close the Gulf of Hormuz, and the price of a barrel of oil goes up $5 in a day, because he may, or may not be serious. Yet if Virginia, and Congress gave the green light next week to open up all of our coast lines and ANWR to drilling immediately, you don't think that will have an effect on the oil futures market?
Supply and Demand folks... Those who choke supply:
Besides Delegates Bouchard and Moran, the others who voted against drilling off Virginia's coast are listed on the "flip." Next time you see them, tell them "thanks for protecting our environment." |

On the national level lets not forget Democratic Congresswoman Pelosi who is now calling for release of oil from the strategic defenseoil reserve so she and her democratic friends will look like they are lowering gas prices.
These are the same people who claim that theoil from ANWR would do very little to solve the problem so how will any oil from the strategic reserve do anything substantial?
And what if the Iranian Prime Minister does more then "fart" and the strait of Hormuz was closed? What if a coordinated attack on several oil distribution centers happened and the worlds oil supply was disrupted? What would the "Democratic" party solution be? Will Sam Rasoul be meeting me at the gas pump to pay part of my gas bill as he did a few weeks back when "trolling" for votes?
Are these the best solutions that the "Democratic" party has to offer?
Let's not forget their voting history....

Nice facts Rightside....We need to keep telling everyone that"Rock Star" Mark Warner is against drilling in the USA while Gilmore wants to lower gas prices by drilling here. This one issue can win it for Jim Gilmore.
You mean Jim Drillmore?
