Democrat Congress Responsible for High Prices at Pumps
HF Dean has a short and succinct piece on how Democrats are to blame for why we’re now coughing up so much of our hard earned cash at the pump. Dean cites data put together by Congressman Roy Blunt highlighting the differences “between House Republicans and House Democrats on energy policy”.
Short and sweet, Dean points out who’s responsible for the various restrictions that have lead to today’s exorbitant gas prices.

The US consumes close to 8 billion barrels of oil every year.
The US produces over 3 billion barrels of oil every year
The US imports around 4.8 billion barrels of oil per year.
At best estimates, there are 12 billion barrels of oil available in ANWR, perhaps even as little as 4 billion. ANWR oil reserves would account for 3% of our daily needs. So yes, if it weren’t for Pelosi oil would be $134.83 per barrel instead of $139.
If such a high portion of our oil comes from a non-Opec nation such as ourselves, why are we charging ourselves $139 per barrel? Since it isn’t OPEC, who is it? Exxon?
By voting republican, gas prices went from $1.44 to $4.00. It’s what happens when you elect an ex oil man from Texas with ties to the Saudi Royal Family, as President.
I can guarantee that in October and Novemer gas prices will drop and then drop again if Obama gets elected.

You’re full of it Toad734. Democrats want gas prices to be as high as possible so they and the media can blame it on Bush. Now I’m no big fan of Bush but it’s the the liberal environmentalist radicals on the Democrat side who love this. Speculation and a weak American dollar have caused this because the politians have spent us trillions of dollars into debt to foreign countries and it’s coming back to bite us in the ass.
