The Democrat-controlled Congress is now polling at a historic low. Ordinary Americans are on to the Dems' ploy to keep gas prices as high as possible and hope it pays off for them at the polls in November.

Informed Americans on this site know that Brazilians drive flex cars (can run on gas, alcohol or ethanol) which are built in America but that our Democrats continue to block US import of Brazil's cheaply-produced sugar cane ethanol.
Why?
Because your freedom of choice, at the gas pump or in where you will send your kids to school, is something they are opposed to.

Congress and national energy policy -
"Congressman Roy Blunt put together these data to highlight the differences between House Republicans and House Democrats on energy policy:
ANWR Exploration - House Republicans:91% Supported. House Democrats: 86% Opposed
Coal-to-Liquid - House Republicans: 97% Supported. House Democrats: 78% Opposed
Oil Shale Exploration - House Republicans: 90% Supported. House Democrats: 86% Opposed
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration - House Republicans: 81% Supported. House Democrats: 83% Opposed
Refinery Increased Capacity - House Republicans: 97% Supported. House Democrats: 96% Opposed" http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/06/020696.php
Notice that the list above covers a number of alternatives and measures.
As with any crisis facing America the New Left Democrats who now control this once-great party don't want our energy problem solved. Not unless the solution provides an opportunity for them to engage in more social engineering. Republicans, with the ideal of freedom in mind, want energy independence. The Democrats, who dress up their irrational and adolescent hatred of inequality as policy which will bring about greater "equality" are determined that in this case it means we are all equal in our misery and that we all face, unnecessarily, the indignity and peril of being beholden to non-productive, anti-capitalist and hostile nations like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.

The answer? No one will ever be allowed to hear directly from these girls why they made the choices they did. It will be "society's fault." The last thing that "liberals" want is for those whom they designate as "victims" to explain or even examine cause and effect in their lives. Notice how many 'spokespersons' the seventeen girls have out there explaining their behavior...

What's really funny, har har, is the video of Madeline Albright, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, Sandy Berger, Jay Rockefeller, Teddy Kennedy, HRC, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, John Edwards, Evan Bayh et al gravely intoning the exact same assertions Bush made about Iraq. http://www.bercasio.com/movies/dems-wmd-before-iraq.wmv
Shame.
Shame on those who come here with "Bush lied."

"Some of the girls may have made a pact to have babies and raise them together."
That's more like Hillary Clinton's It Takes a Village than the movie Juno.

With this decision Barack Obama clarifies the Dems' identity: The Rich Lawyer Party. It was never about principles. Lawyers love this guy even more than Hillary. Check for yourself at http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/select.php?ind=K01

Nearly 70 percent of the country now acknowlegdes the media in America is hopelessly biased. And it ain't in favor of Bush and Cheney's party. Conservatives were also angry with how poorly the WH communicated its message these last 7. Most recognize though that all 3 major networks were(and still are)prepared to openly lie (so long, Dan Rather). There was little the Bush WH could have done to dispel the image the MSM created.

Do British authorities really want turn away an Anglophile as influential as Martha Stewart? She knows it's as easy as showing up in a hijab next time. She'd waltz through. Do they really want that over loads of tourist cashola?

I'm curious. How do Barack Obama supporters know when their untested hero is lying? He is making John Kerry look like a paragon of consistency.

They did much more than hunt the Shiite fighters:
"They came at dawn, thousands of Iraqi troops and U.S. special forces on a mission to reclaim a lawless city from the militias who ran it. By the end of the day, al-Amarah was under Iraqi government control — without a shot being fired.
The city had been taken over by Moqtada al-Sadr's al-Mahdi Army two years ago after British troops handed it to an ill-prepared Iraqi Army. On Thursday, the city's streets were crawling with Iraqi security forces. Soldiers searched houses as police manned checkpoints and Soviet-era tanks guarded bridges over the Tigris River." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,369421,00.html

How much does Obama get from militant Muslim groups with branches in the US?
Libya's Colonel Qadafi is excited about the prospects for change -
There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency. http://cubasincadenas.invisionzone.com/index.php?showforum=27

I'm starting worry a little here. It's just too easy to envision an army of Obama brownshirts (P-Diddy, 2004: "Vote or Die") going after the Muslims if the MSM makes the admittedly unlikely decision to really highlight this unfortunate display of Islamophobia on the part of Team Obama and it costs him votes or even poll points.

"The Nuremberg trials became the basis of several important law bodies including the Geneva Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
Our turn for LOL. You have about the same legal acumen Barack Obama possesses.
In what universe is a declaration ("Universal Declaration of Human Rights") an "important law [ legal ] body"?
You are aware that not one single Muslim nation recognizes the UDHR ?
Your foot, that smoldering bullet hole. How do you still type?

Telegraph headline: Barack Obama aide: Why Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy By Tim Shipman in Washington Last Updated: 2:04AM BST 17/06/2008 "Winnie the Pooh, Luke Skywalker and British football hooligans could shape the foreign policy of Barack Obama if he becomes US President, according to a key adviser."
Obama is a fraud, but at least he is an amusing one. No problem. So long as he is out of the running by September or so.
