GOP: The Art Of Deflection
by Buck • 8:26 pm

You know that high price for gas you’ve been paying at the pump? Well it turns out that neither Bush, his Iraqi war, nor any of the his pandering republican friends had anything to do with it. That’s right. It’s all the democrats fault! Namely that liberal elitist bitch Pelosi.

Washington stymied on how to deal with gasoline prices

WASHINGTON - When gasoline hit $4 a gallon in San Francisco, Republicans quickly noted that it happened in the hometown of the nation’s most powerful Democrat: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

In a speech on the Senate floor, Republican Kit Bond of Missouri recalled how Pelosi had promised lower gasoline prices before Democrats took control of Congress in 2006.

“Well, we certainly got change, all right,” Bond said. “Since the Democrats have come to power in the House and Senate, pain at the pump has increased by 50 — five-zero — 50 percent.” [...]

“As the price of gas climbs higher, it looks like the Democratic plan to bring down prices was another of their empty campaign promises,” said House Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri.

House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio said the average price of gasoline was $2.33 per gallon on Jan. 4, 2007, Pelosi’s first day as speaker.

And just what the fuck did Kit Bond, Roy Blunt or John Boehner do to stop this from happening? You bastards mind answering me that one? (And while we’re at it, where did these fucks get their names???)

I know democrats took ‘control’ of Congress in ‘06. But when did they really take control? As far as I know they haven’t yet. They keep getting slapped down on every piece of legislation that they bring forth. The threat of a republican filibuster wafts the halls of Congress daily.

But it doesn’t help that our current batch of Constitution-defending democrats lack vertebrae.
