Blame them f***in' Democrats ...!
Whom can we blame for high gas prices ...? The f***in' Democrats, that's who. To wit:
"This started out as an attempt to create a light and humorous, Letterman-esque Top list. But the items on the list, and the drain Americans are seeing in their pocketbooks because of Democrats' actions (sometimes inaction) are just too tragic for that.
"10) ANWR If Bill Clinton had signed into law the Republican Congress's 1995 bill to allow drilling of ANWR instead of vetoing it, ANWR could be producing a million barrels of (non-Opec) oil a day -- 5% of the nation's consumption. Although speaking in another context, even Democrat Senator Charles Schumer, no proponent of ANWR drilling, admits that 'one million barrels per day,' would cause the price of gasoline to fall '50 cents a gallon almost immediately,' according to a recent George Will column.
"9) Coastal Drilling (i.e., not in my backyard) Democrats have consistently fought efforts to drill off the U.S. coast, as evidenced by Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's preotestation against a failed 2005 bill: 'Not only does this legislation dismantle the bi-partisan ban on offshore drilling, but it provides a financial incentive for states to do so.' A financial incentive? With the Chinese now slant drilling for oil just 50 miles off the Florida coast, wouldn't that have been a good thing?"
Check out 8-1 here. Now, if you ain't mad as hell at the Democratic Party when you reach the end of the list, then tell me where you intend to vote this November. I will do my level best to physically restrain your dumb ass from voting ... and that ain't no sh**, neither.
