The left-wing Democrats in Washington always love to put on a show when the cameras are running.
  • They blame Bush's "evil" Iraq war for low oil prices "No blood for oil!"
  • They blame the "evil" energy industry for high oil prices "Obscene profits from oil!"


No matter what happens, they have someone to blame--and I don't think they really know what they want. If they are anti-war, shouldn't they welcome high prices for imported oil, and encourage domestic oil exploration?

But no--every action of the loony left has been calculated to drive up the cost of energy with the object of discouraging it's use--as a sacrifice to the Earth-deity Gaia.

They block domestic energy exploration and production, and then complain that we support unfriendly nations with our energy dollars.

They propose new "carbon" taxes on energy, and then complain about excessive profits when prices go up.

They subsidize ethanol production from corn and mandate it's use, while charging high import duties on its importation. Then they complain that domestic food and fuel prices are both going up, while poor countries are pushed to starvation because we no longer export food to them. Yet I don't hear about any congressional action to repeal these moronic policies.

Just recently they voted to block an effort to extract energy from oil shale in Colorado.

When will they learn that good intentions do not justify bad policy?



They keep pointing the finger of blame at others, but they only need to look in the mirror to find "evil". The idiots who are now in charge of Congress are the main cause of our energy problems.
