The
Obamanator has stepped in it again. More amazing is that nobody in the
media or the Democratic Party can see it. He's sure no Bill Clinton.
Making the argument that having fully inflated tires is the same as
drilling for oil is completely idiotic. We import 10 million barrels of
foreign oil a day, if we cut that to 9.5 million we still have the same
problem. We have to pursue
every option.
Anyone with any sense can see that. Nuclear, drilling, ethanol and the
other alternative sources. Our economy can't expand if our energy
supply is shrinking. Our economy can't expand if our currency loses
it's value. The mask is now slipping as it becomes more and more clear
how committed the Democrats are to
contracting the economy.
"I'm
saving the Planet!" Announced our horrible nightmare of a Speaker Of
The House when a reporter dared to ask her about her stubborn refusal
to schedule a vote on a bill to lift the drilling ban. Now we have the
stark mental image of Barak waving a tire pressure gauge in our faces.
The message is as clear as if it was his stiffened middle finger! Get
out of your car and onto the bus you Plebeians,
WE'RE saving the planet!
Now
with the Republicans openly protesting Pelosi's arrogance and Obama
getting ridicule heaped on him by talk radio even a party that appeared
defunct even a month ago is showing signs of life. This election isn't
going to be about Ted Stevens or John Murtha or Iraq or Medical Care or
any of those issues; its going to be about energy, and in a larger
sense it will be about whether we are going to take actions, in the
name of Global Warming, that will severely hamper our economy. The Dems
are on the wrongest of wrong sides of that issue. It worked for them
when it was just something people saw on some corporate commercial
about our Beautiful Green Future but now that it's come down to
spiraling prices and real hardship the very group whose votes the Dems
have counted on as theirs, the working class, are becoming alarmed and
worried about the nation's and their own futures. All of a sudden the
policy of forbidding drilling and putting a
de facto
moratorium on nuclear plants is seen in a different light. It also
should be noted that the environmental groups give heavily to
Democratic candidates and generally give nothing to the Republicans. A
Democratic defeat at the hands of anti-enviro Republicans would be a
disaster for those groups. Every sacred project they've worked on for
the last thirty years could be overturned in a rush to grant leases,
issue pipeline permits, and get to work on nuke power plants. This
wouldn't be the placid atmosphere of the Bushie Years, there is panic
in the air. The stampede will bring the fences down in a rush.
Can
the Dems still win? It's possible but not likely. They have a complete
dearth of leaders. The only one who can speak in public is Obama and
he's been off his feed lately and is out of his depth on the energy
issue. Handing the Republicans the Tire Guage image shows what a
complete muppet he is. A nice clear visual image that an eighty-IQ
retard can grasp perfectly clearly--WE"RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING
ABOUT HIGH RISING ENERGY PRICES!!! There isn't anyone who can put the
Democratic message across because they
can't
put their message across; shrinking the economy and putting the
government in effective control of it isn't something you really want
to shout too loud about in times like these. The Republicans now have a
clear, positive issue that people understand and genuinely agree with
them on. Paris Hilton's 'Wrinkly Old White Guy' is starting to play to
huge, enthusiastic crowds. States like Michigan are ripe for the
taking. Even states like Pennsylvania. Ohio is not going to jump on the
Depression Train with Mr. Tire-Gauge and the Red Army Chorus in
Congress. If the Dems are going to pull this out they're going to have
to come up with a reason why you don't want gas for your car. It's as
easy as putting air in a tire, isn't it boys?
