Leading Dem Admits the Party Has No Answers to Skyrocketing Gas Prices
Gateway Pundit | June 27, 2008

Posted on 06/27/2008 7:36:35 AM PDT by Fox_Mulder77

A leading democrat says Americans need to get used to paying $5 to $6 a gallon for their gas.

U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, has a double dose of predictions on gasoline prices that nobody wants to hear: Prices are going up a lot more, he says, and the nation doesn't have any good ways to bring prices down.

The liberal socialists have NO ANSWERS for anything, except their fanatic focus on attaining power and control over the entire Washington government. They have the Congress presently and now the White House is their one and only purpose in life.

Socialist power and control. Nothing else matters.

The Dems have an answer alright.

Blame Bush. Blame Republicans. Raise taxes.

That’s their plan.

Translation: We think high gas prices are good. We can blame the Republicans while passing laws to control people’s behavior.

Think Newt said yesterday that Obama will flip on drilling when gas hits $7.00 a gallon.

There ain't no answer, OK?...

21st Century form of, "Let them eat cake."

Drill here. Drill now. The price will drop immediately because all the gas gamblers will shudder.

The answer is easy: voters remove such Congressmen and Senators from office this November and install representatives who will allow environmentally clean drilling off the left coast, the right coast, the gulf coast and the frozen tundra of the north.

I would certainly vote for him if given a chance. He is a conservative’s dream candidate! (IMHO)

predict to you that gas prices will be as much as . . .

Anybody who is predicting specific price numbers should be ignored. We do not know how much crude oil is being produced, we might come close to knowing how much gasoline is being produced. Some deep Amazon guy with a feather dance and a bone in his nose can predict prices this well.

Not the sort of response Americans are famous for. Once, we were a great nation.

I’m thinking that the US needs a gap plan for at least 5 yrs ... enough time for technology to catch up. After that, the House of Saud can eat sand because we’ll be selling technology worldwide. Unfortunately, the Dhimmicrats are still more focused on Bush than on solving problems.

The left has already given their answer.

They want higher gas prices and more gas taxes.
