    Americans know who is to blame for the high gas prices. Democrat Obstructionists are to blame, and we will remove them in November to make it possible for the next Congress to drill now, drill here, and save money.

      All Pelosi can do is bloviate. She cannot put forth one single shred of evidence for her accusations. But let's face it, the woman knows her audience.

        Pelosi and Company took control in January 2007 with the promise to do something about gas prices, knowing full well that two "oil men" were in charge of the Executive. Basically she is admitting that she and the Democrats BSed the people to gain control.

          Hey its sick anick, bigotgorge and jose, three typical repugs hereon! Did you see the article by a fellow repug, Ben Stein, in the Times a couple weeks ago when he had his economist hat on and was saying that the Bush Federal Exchange Commission in 2004 dropped collateral requirements for wall street transactions which has set off the speculators! No wonder the obstrutionist repugs in the Senate are fighting the new Dem bill to get back control over the speculators! See Domenici deny any oil spills during Katrina the other day and even a Fox analyst corrected the liar!

          Then there is the Repug Energy Bill that threw out all the energy anti-monopoly laws instituted after the Great Depression... Throw in Dumya's signing statements to ignore laws he doesn't like and his lack of funding to federal organizations meant to monitor/control fair business practices fro the greater good...

          How far you Un-American people will go to feed your greed at the cost of other Americans!

            The senate obstructionist Repugs have already blocked a Dem bill to take some of big oil's record profits to pay for alternative efforts! These repugs blocked stem cell reseach and some health coverage to 10 million US poor kids too (or backed Dumya's veto for the same result).

            A Big Oil company that made a record 40 billion profit and only put 200 million into R&D and no new refining capability in 32 years!

            Remember that when the repugs controlled the Congress, Ted Stevens said the Big Oil CEOs didn't even have to pledge to tell the truth to Congress... The same big oil CEOS with Ken Lay who participated in Cheney's Energy meeting, the minutes of which are still classified by Cheney!

            The facts are sure there for you right wing, Bush sycophants to ignore... and all because of your greed!
