CAN IT BE?

I might be wrong.
I might be right.

I definitely am on the right.

But to the point: a thought has occurred regarding the national dems and the price of gasoline.

Do I remember correctly that when the price of gas was low, down in the $2.00 or less range, that the national dems excoriated the Republican Administration for not taxing gas and making the prices prohibitively higher so as to discourage ‘excessive’ use thereof…?

Did the national dems not clamor and bray for higher taxes on gasoline?

And that when the price would dip just before this or that election did not the national dems carry on about the perfidy of the Admin for ‘controlling’ the price of gas so as to influence the election?

And can it be that now the national dems feel the price of gas is too high…IN THAT IT IS NOT HIGH BECAUSE OF TAXES BUT BECAUSE OF DEMOCRATIC ENERGY POLICY…or rather, lack of any constructive policy?

Do national dems want high gas prices or highly taxed gas prices?

Casual reading of responsible news sources would have one believe that:

World consumption of crude oil almost exactly equals consumption.
There has been no increase of US refinery capacity for decades.
Third-world giant nations are spiking in their use of petroleum – India, China.
national dem party votes consistently against new exploitation of US petroleum resources.
New energy technology will take longer to come on line than it would take to increase exploitation of US petroleum reserves.
It is a no-brainer that increased domestic petroleum exploitation should occur simultaneously with development of new energy technology.
Simultaneous development is anathema to national dems.
A green White House and Congress would be an unnecessary economic disaster for the US and therefore for the world.

And on and on.

Anyone who votes this fall for ‘greening’ our two elected governmental bodies needs their head examined.

No joke.
