Here is our gang. It is about time they were disbanded. These guys are pretty reliable conservatives but they have really stepped in it trying to jump the gun with a bipartisan crap bill that could've been written by the Sierra club.

Read Below: As Kimberley Strassel writes, "The Sierra Club couldn't have penned it better. And so the Republican Five has potentially given antidrilling Democrats the political cover they need to neutralize energy through November. Sen. Obama was thrilled. He quickly praised the Gang's bipartisan spirit, and warmed up to a possible compromise. Of course, he means removing even the token drilling provisions now in the [Senate] bill.

Thanks for compiling this.

I hope y’all heard Saxby on Rush’s show stumbling around.

Unfrotunateky, Rush didn’t have enough time to nail him to the wall, but he did ask some “difficult” questions.\

BUMP!

I am so fed up with the arrogance of these "bi-partisan" groups thinking they can make all the decisions. We all have our own representatives from our states who have a dog in this fight too, and I'd be real happy if those arrogant pos, would just back off and do their job along with the ENTIRE House and Senate.

More than any of the others, I loathe Graham. I have an anger toward him like I've never known before. He's such a prissy little sissy. I wish he'd just get back in the corner and shut his mouth!! I think it was when he said he "would just tell those Bigots to shut their mouths." Suffice to say, God better help him if we should ever meet. LOL What an absolute jackass he is.

Before I had any information other than Rush and the WSJ article, I called Senator Thune’s office and asked what the issues were. I was told by a staffer that there was no bill yet, however, based on this, contained in the press release,

“transition American fuel consumption from fossil fuels to biofuels, increase conservation and launch an Apollo-like project to move America’s cars and trucks to non-petroleum-based fuels”,

I will be calling again to suggest that the Senator who was and is a vocal proponent of corn gas supplement, should rethink the idea that we are going to be able to go to non-petroleum based fuels any time in the next fifty years for a significant number of vehicles.

I am particularly interested in trucks, trains, and airplanes and what makes him think other than smoke and mirrors that there is anything on over or within decades of the horizon that will meet the objective. The sentence from the press release is an envirodream of crack cocaine proportions.

Ok... I got my flame retardant suit on....so fire away...
Just because theses Senators try to get “SOMETHING” going to help the American people they’re some sort of traitors?????? ...That used to be called “ STATEMANSHIP”

Hey folks in case you missed something because of the “ Message” that was sent to Republicans in the last elections we don’t control jack in the congress..
So what’s the big deal in trying to GET SOMETHING that will relieve the pump prices?????

I have spoken to Senator Graham in person and I am convinced he heard us last year...

Lets stop eating our own here...

Unless you want a “ The ONE” in the white house with a Rats congress..

I am particularly dissappointed in Thune and Chambliss. I expect it from Graham. Corker is a little dissappointing.

Please explain how this proposed bill is better than the one Repubs in the House are trying to get a vote on.

Anyone know the code for a senator's email address without having to go through the Internet form? It seems to me they try to generate mail through the Internet form so they can tell instantly if the writer is from their home state.
