The Dims Have It Covered

Good news! The Dimocrats keep making their plans on gas prices better and better. Lets review:

1. No drilling in ANWR, on federal lands, or off the coast because that oil wouldn't come online for another five years. I guess that in five years we won't be worried about oil any more. Poof! PFM!

2. Sue OPEC.

3. Tax the oil companies.

I have all the confidence in the world as to how successful these policies will be. And now we have the icing on the cake. Nationalize the oil refineries.

House Democrats responded to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.

Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.

Because everyone knows that no one knows how to run an industry better than the gummint. (or is that ruin an industry?) Look how well that worked in the USSR. For that matter look how well PEMEX, the gummint run oil company in Mexico is doing. It's managing to lose money. Jesus H. Christ! The Senate cannot even manage to run its own restaurant and is gonna privatize it. Now we have Dimocrats advocating the gummint running oil refineries. I can hear Tom Daschle saying, "To professionalize, you must federalize."

Yeah. Let's put the gummint in charge of the refineries. It's the gummint that has mandated over 20 different blends of gasoline. The gummint is the problem, not the solution.

Do y'all like $4 gasoline? You'll just love $5 gasoline. Or maybe $6 gasoline.

These are the solutions offered by the Dimocrat Party.

When gas costs around $5 a gallon on election day just remember how the Dimocrats will fix this problem. No drilling. Sue OPEC. Tax the oil companies. Take over the refineries. Poof! PFM!

Hope and change. A lot of hope. Not too much change left over after filling up your car.
