Just because Bill Clinton released thirty million barrels of oil to knock prices down for Gore when he was running for election doesnââ¬â¢t mean itââ¬â¢s a smart idea. All Gore had to say was ââ¬ÅI will not go along with the apologists for big oil and support an agenda that is of big oil, for big oil and by big oil," Let us not forget the number of millionaire donors who earned their bucks in oil and donated to Kerry. One of my favs, Oscar Wyatt, is sort of caught up in that little food for oil scandal at the United Nations.
The Democrats are showing the usual power at all costs methods. They are a risky scheme. They should be put into a lock box so that we will be safe from their attempts to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserves so that they can have a happier time and, as usual, weaken the nation. I guess that the Republicans passing a tax law that cuts the tax deduction by seventy-five percent for business owned SUVââ¬â¢s isnââ¬â¢t even a start in their minds. The Democrats as usual are blocking the attempts to deal with the need for domestic oil (read not foreign) and the new conservation technology that Bush is proposing. They still refuse to allow drilling in Alaska. But that isnââ¬â¢t too surprising really. Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and a few others never did believe in drilling at home anyway.
This is yet another example of why they lost so big and have continued to lose so big. They just donââ¬â¢t get it. They donââ¬â¢t want to. They are blaming the religious right for their loss at the polls. They havenââ¬â¢t realized that they are the reason they lost. But anyone who ever tried to raise kids knows exactly what that really is.
When itââ¬â¢s one of your own kids, itââ¬â¢s pretty embarrassing and annoying. When it is a political adversary, itââ¬â¢s pretty darn funny. Keep it up, you yayhoos.
