For many months now, Newt Gingrich has been preaching "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less", in talking about developing more and more US energy resources especially oil and gas. He is pushing specifics about off-shore, Alaska, Canadian Keystone Pipeline, horizontal shale drilling, etc. With the poor jobs situation and gasoline costs climbing to $4.00 per gallon, Newt has a goal of $2.00 gasoline, which we can achieve with aggressive domestic oil development. Newt is a leader who could make $2.00 gasoline a reality by facilitating domestic supply. Again, Romney and Santorum are vague and timid about this subject.
Michele Bachmann was called a moron for making the same promise.
Stop the Middle East from dictating the price of our oil would really help. Drill for our own oil and gas, build new refinery’s in our country. Also tell EPA to go suck sand....it’s our country and if they don’t like the oil and gas in our country.........don’t use it.
PING!!
Lets watch how many hypocrites weigh in shall we?

$2.00 gas is a valid goal no matter who is pushing it.
He can at least make it an issue...which none of them has done since Perry dropped out.
$2.00 gas is a valid goal no matter who is pushing it.
$2.00 gas is a valid goal no matter who is pushing it.
$2.00 gas is a valid goal no matter who is pushing it.

Early onset?
Man, you can say that again.....and again.....and again.

Where is your campaign site? I’m interested... :p
Bachmann didn’t make it a goal, she guaranteed it, which is impossible to do. We could quadruple supply and gas could remain $4 if Goldman Sachs decides it is so. Refineries are shutting down all over the country because they are no longer profitable. We are not refining enough oil. The gas prices we are paying are fake speculative proces non based on supply and demand. They should probably be under $2 right now in this market.
Obama will open the spigots wide on the reserves and ask his Muslim OPEC buddies to increase production (for just a short while) and flood the market with cheap gasoline beginning in August and lasting through November.
He can then look at Newt and say, “$2.00 gas? I brought gasoline prices down much lower than that” and American will go back to watching American Idol and Jersey Shore — right after voting for Obozo again.
I would love to see that but can he either increase production massively or reduce the new consumption in emerging countries.
I like Newt but, Messiah complex anyone?
LOL, Some of them make me sick. Bachmann said it first and she was pummeled. Newt says it and it is great and resonates.
oh well
Don’t tell me it will resonate, that’s pointless. If it resonates, then the proof will be in the pudding. If not, then why waste bandwidth telling me how great this strategy will be?
You are for managing the decay of US. Achieving $2 gasoline is easy compared to JFK man on the moon goal. Come on. What has happened to my fellow American’s Can Do attitude?
