Cheney Blames Democrats for Gas Prices
EFL - I believe that Cheney is blaming the wrong Democrats. It is falacious to say that the energy bill would have had any effect on gas prices this near term had it been approved, but I don't want a return to the days when the Department of the Interior was buying and confiscating huge tracts of land and the Department of Energy was mstly concerned that the Los Alamos janitorial staff was pleased with its badge color."John Kerry and John Edwards voted no," Cheney said. "It's another area where I think there is a significant difference." Cheney advocated increasing domestic oil production in wildlife areas in Alaska and other regions that are off-limits to development. "We have put ourselves into a box. The only thing I can think of to do is to keep pushing for a comprehensive energy policy," he said. "We are at the mercy of those international oil prices." -snip - Although, I'm sure that it is secret, I speculate that the Kerry-Edwards Energy plan leans heavily on juche philosophy for solutions. If I were Bush, I would call Congress back and bring the Energy Plan to the floor along with the 9-11 proposals. Posted by: Super Hose 2004-08-04 |
