As I read in USA Today (so it must be true)

Republicans talked abut “drill baby drill” but it was Obama that made it happened.

The "Individual Shared Transportation Responsibility Payment".

"Obamaroads"

If you like your under-$2 a gallon gasoline, you can keep your under-$2 a gallon gasoline.

Do not count on the Republicans to question Obama on this one.
I sent email to Texas John Carter and John Cornyn and both have ignored my emails today.

This two RINO’s will not address anything that might stop the K Street free lunch.

K Street Lobbyist must have hired the same type that ENRON had.

will propose more than $300 billion worth of investments over the next decade in mass transit, high-speed rail, self-driving cars, and other transportation approaches designed to reduce carbon emissions and congestion.

This is simply a left-wing government slush fund for government employees, leftist special interests, unions, and their pliant crony-capitalists.

My husband and I were just talking about low oil prices the other night and how the dems would probably try to hike up taxes on gas and oil so the uniformed fools who vote for them wouldn’t really notice.

He wants to help the Saudis and Iranians out, putting American oil companies out of business. We just now made it legal to export oil, so now would other countries rather pay extra 10 bucks a barrel to us or buy from Saudi or Iran?

And some states wanting to charges for miles driven instead of gallons purchased. So all those people that paid for their Prius on the premise that they would save money on gas, live and learn!

**** “It will fail int the house...” *****

You mean those same folks we sent there to defeat OBAMACARE?

Obama has a carrot on a stick and our Uniparty will fumble, stumble and trip over each other to get it.

We are no longer Represented by ANYONE
