Senator Sunoco is Freaking Out

by: Dean Barker

Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 20:26:59 PM EDT


John E. knows he can't hide from his establishing and maintaining the ENRON Loophole, and he's clinging to the latest GOPer talking point (this time without repeating Cheney's propaganda): Drill. Drill. DRILL!!!! The 'Ticker:
"Jeanne Shaheen and the liberals have said no to increases in domestic production," Sunnu said. "You have to ask how high they will let prices rise."

He noted that while the Democrats have been in control of congress, oil prices have risen by 80 percent. Reporters later challenged this assertion, asking the senator how high prices would be now if the Republicans lead congress and pointing out that prices have risen 300 percent during President Bush's term.

It's almost kind of sad to read.  Except for the fact that I filled up half a tank today and my eyeballs popped out of my skull.  If Senator Sunoco thinks he can swindle the electorate into thinking that that's the Democrats' fault after eight years of Bush and him, then he truly has nothing.  I mean, what else is he going to do? Talk about how totally awesome Iraq is?

Bush and Sununu took peace and prosperity, and gave us a war of choice and a recession. There is no getting around that reality.

Morning after update: Now this is why the 'Ticker is so valuable. They got this story earlier and without the priceless moment quoted above whitewashed out.

I Love It!!! (4.00 / 2)
Blame the Democrats for the oil prices -- as if WE started an unnecessary war in the Middle East, screwed up Iran policy, gave tax breaks to large oil companies, ignored investment in clean energy, failed to pass conservation standards, and indulged a President so clueless that he thinks oil is one of the five food groups.

Jeanne will wipe the floor with this guy.
