A Lot Of Gas About Gas
And so we come to another election season.The Democrats, desparate to regain control of at least one chamber of congress are in full attack mode. The media, overwhelmingly members of the Democratic party do not even have to consiously parrot the party line - its automatic for them.
So the attacks go on. Mary McCarthy! Bush Lied! Leaker in chief! Secret prisons!. Warrantless wiretaps!
High gas prices!
So the Dems go on full tilt. Railing about high gas prices and promising government intervention to curb those greedy oil companies. Make them pay! Make them stop gouging! We'll even drop taxes for a bit!
Never mind that the far left has maintained for a long time that gas is too cheap. Never mind that the global warming enthusiasts are demanding less fuel use. Never mind that the press is screaming almost daily about global warming!
Cheap gas - we can all get behind that!
The Democrats, in their blind lust to reacquire control are rolling their constituents (especially the "net roots") and the Republicans,too.
And the Republicans are obliging them.
How about a little bit of integrity and a small application of principle?
UPDATE: And the oil speculators who are actually a big part of why the prices are so high, immediately ran for some political cover.
