Video: Dems won’t act even at $10 per gallon posted at 6:58 pm on July 31, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly How high will Democrats let the price of gas get before considering the option of drilling for more oil? Ken Salazar (D-CO) has set the bar in today’s action in the Senate. Gas can hit $10 per gallon and the Democrats still won’t act: Let a thousand television ads bloom. Even Floridians and Californians now support drilling in the OCS: With gas prices hovering at $4 a gallon, a majority of Floridians now support drilling for oil in protected areas offshore, according to a new ...
Senate Dems Object to Offshore Drilling Even If Gas Is $10 Per Gallon
Weekly Standard Blog —
This clip will be featured in a lot of Republican campaign ads:
Ken Salazar: No OCS drilling, even when it's $10/gallon for gas.
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
This is why they hate Mitch McConnell.
I give up. I figured that six bucks a gallon was a nice, round
number with which to beat the Democrats with about the head and
shoulders. Which it would be. For rational
people.
But freaking ten?

What are you willing to bet that Senator Salazar hasn't paid for
his own gas in years? - because he certainly seems perfectly happy
to make you pay more for yours.

PS: They want Mitch gone, you know.
Hint, hint.

Democrats Are Laughing At You
A Blog For All —
Democrats are laughing at you. They enjoy your misery because it furthers their agenda of accumulating power and control over all aspects of the economy. They will not act to lower the price of gas, even if it hits $10. Laugh back. Vote them out of office. HT: Hot Air ...
Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) -- No Access To America's Oil, Even If Gas Hits $10
Rhymes With Right —
So the Democrats claim to be the party of the common people. I don't know about the rest of you common working class folks out there, but I sure as Hell can't afford $10 gas. But at least one Senate Democrat thinks you can -- and he was speaking on behalf of the entire Democrat Caucus when he said that the American people can suck it up if gas goes that high. Got that, America. Gas at $4 -- no new drilling in America. Gas at $7.50 -- no new drilling in America. Gas at $10 -- no new drilling in America. So even if your gas and electric, and food, and clothing and other bills increase 250% while your pay increases by a significantly smaller margin ...
Democrats Don’t Care If Gas Hits $10 a Gallon!

Video: Dems Won’t Drill Even at $10 Per Gallon
Stop The ACLU —
Ed Morrissey: Republicans should use a very simple message. We have enough oil to satisfy American needs for at least the next 100 years, but Democrats won’t let you have it. They’d rather you pay $10 per gallon at the pump and watch food prices increase 250% rather than agree to drilling. If you don’t want $10 per gallon gas, vote Republican. Amen, this should be a campaign ad, and this issue should be driven home to the American people who by a huge majority support offshore drilling. Perhaps we can highlight Obama’s stupidity on the issue of properly inflated tires. But we could save all the oil that they’re talking ...

Dems on Gas Prices: Content to do nothing
The Anchoress —
Go read Ed Morrissey By all means, let us work on alternative energies, but they’re not going to be practical, afforable or wide-ranging for a while. In the meantime stop lying to us about the “ten years to drill” nonsense and get busy decreasing our dependence upon foreign oils. Even better: Don’t do THIS to America . Hey, Congress…how about leading and serving? Oh, wait…the Pelosi is “trying to save the planet…” Krauthammer : The United States has the highest technology to ensure the safest drilling. Today, directional drilling — essentially drilling down, then sideways — allows access to oil that in 1970 would have ...
Sen. Salazar, We The People Object
California Conservative —
Everyone who drives a car or cares about the US economy needs to see this appalling video:
Sen. Ken Salazar told Colorado’s voters that he wouldn’t be a partisan if they elected him. That alone should’ve told them that he’s a bitter partisan. Despite those warning signs, they still elected. The next time he’s up for re-election, though, he’ll have to explain to Coloradans why he voted against drilling on the OCS, even if gas reached $10/gallon. Salazar went so far as to call the provision a “phantom solution.” I find that ...
Dems Against Drilling … Not Even At $10 A Gallon? - With Video
Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
I happened to catch this clip on Fox and Friends very early this morning. It SHOULD go viral ASAP. It MUST go viral, so everyone NEEDS to email it to everyone you know … no matter what their political party leaning.
The democrats are above nothing when making it politically advantageous for themselves.
They did it with the war(s) and our troops. They did it with Homeland Security. They did it with the President’s firing of judges. They did it with a no name, non-covert CIA agent that only sought a name and publicity.
They are NOW doing it with our economy’s lifeblood. ...
Democrats Say No Domestic Drilling -- Even If Gas Hits $10
The Corner on National Review Online —
Friday, August 01, 2008 [image] Democrats Say No Domestic Drilling -- Even If Gas Hits $10 [ Mark Hemingway ] Iain mentioned this below , but here's the video of McConnell trying to get democrats to agree to domestic oil exploration on the outer-continental shelf if gas hits $4.50, $5, $7.50, $10 a gallon: This is pretty stunning and I would expect to see this footage in quite a a few political ads in the fall. I wonder why McCain isn't trying to highlight the incompetence of the current Democratic Congressional leadership on issues like this. He could sell himself as a counterweight to the havoc Pelosi and Reid are wreaking, and ...
Instapundit — POLITICO: "Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House and turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices.

They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m. and are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess. . . .

$10 Gas Doesn't Change Dem Senator's Mind on Oil Drilling
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
There was a rather extraordinary confrontation on the Senate floor Thursday involving offshore oil drilling that got very little press coverage. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kent.) tried to get Democrats to vote on a measure that would open up such drilling if the price of gasoline reached a certain level. Although the "bidding" eventually reached $10 a gallon, Colorado's Ken Salazar continually objected. As reported by the Salt Lake Tribune Friday (video embedded right): In back-and-forth bickering on the Senate floor ...

“Thank” you, Sen. Salazar
No Runny Eggs —
(H/T - Ed Morrissey)
On the floor of the Senate yesterday, Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) proved my maxim that, as long as government gets the money, the DhimmiRATs are happy with ever-increasing gas prices. Watch the video, folks; you wouldn’t believe it if I told you that Salazar and his fello DhimmiRATs want gas to be more than $10/gallon, at which point our roads become like the former Soviet Union’s…. ...
Obama On Offshore Drilling: Uh, Um, Ah, Sure
Ace of Spades HQ —
Obama On Offshore Drilling: Uh, Um, Ah, Sure He's redeploying to the side of the issue that about 70% of Americans are on. "'If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage - I don't want to be so rigid that we can't get something done,' Obama said." More: "[H]e told the Post he would be open to expanding the current drilling boundaries if it meant winning approval for more fuel-efficient cars, developing alternative energy sources and making the country more 'energy independent.'" "'I think it's ...

Neptunus Lex —
If a gallon cost a ten dollar bill,
Could you would you, search and drill?
I do not want to on the sea.
I do not want to the lee.
I do not want to in oil shale.
I do not want to with a pail.
I do not want to here or there.
I do not want to anywhere.
I do not want to search and drill.
I only want to kill this bill.
I do not care how much they bitch.
No vote for you, I-am-Mitch.
