request to use “Reply to this”. Given that you can’t even participate in a threaded discussion, why on earth should ANY of us comply with your admonitions to “Think deeper…”

Here’s a suggestion for you–people have gotten themselves tossed for consistently ignoring the request to use “Reply….”. How’s about getting over yourself and do as you’re asked, hmmmm?

Again, the challenge is to think deeper.

Pelosi, Obama, and others in Congress causing the world oil prices to hit the ceiling?

...without considering the Cheney led 'National Energy Policy' that was crafted with Oil company execs in the spring of 2001...

...or Iran threatening to close the Straits of Hormuz and blocking 40% of the world's oil output...

...or speaking to the governmental subsidies in emerging markets that maintain consumer oil consumption even as prices rise...

...or factoring in the increased cost of exploration, drilling, materials, and skilled labor in the oil industry...

...or the growth of oil and gas consumers in the developing world...

Now with considering all of these other aspects, of which there are many more, how should we move forward with a lasting solution?

Yes, you're certainly above such petty emotions as fear, and even more so above playing on fear. Except ...

Xenophobic? Dear, china, how much is your tea? You're using the lefties second favorite fear factor: agree or you'll be branded a racist.

The first favorite fear factor for the left is, of course, global warming.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Unless you do what Gore says.

Nothing, by the way, is more adorable than lefty bloggers absolute obsession with Fox news. Your absurd conspiracy theorizing is matched in ridiculousness only by your inept, clownish delivery.

What bothers me is the shallow thinking that allows xenophobic and unbalanced reasoning to take hold. What bothers me is the trance that causes conservatives to avoid seeing the factors over the past 7 years that have increased the size of government, increased entitlement obligations, increased the deficit, increased the need for future reconciliation (more taxes), increased the dependence on foreign oil, decreased our standing in the world economy, decreased our ability to project the value of democracy, and decreased our moral authority.

Instead, conservatives grasp onto the latest story from FoxNews that tells them to be afraid. Fear is the greatest motivator. You need to ask yourself, "Who is doing the motivating and why am I afraid?"

Bothered? Yeah. Bothered that others are not.

You think that Nancy controls the economy and that Congress controls the world-wide price of oil.

Now that's hilarious. Paranoid and grasping at straws, but still hilarious.

She admits her policy's goal is to force people to use oil less. The way you make people use oil less is to keep prices up. That's her goal.
She admits this is an ego issue. "I won't give the gavel." She's putting her pride over the country's needs.

**Finally, she goes on national TV and shows her anti-americanism to the entire nation. What did she say? Oh yes, "we have a planet to protect".

No Madame Speaker, we have a country to protect. And our oil/energy needs come first and foremost. And, from the professionals I've spoken with on Wall Street, if we announced the opening of ANWR, Offshore, and Shale Oil, within 72 hours the speculative price of oil would drop 65% on the market for futures contracts.

Therefore we need to continue to press, along with Newt Gingrich, "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less".

for anyone considering voting for a Democratic Congressional candidate in November.

How did this woman rise to a position two heartbeats away from the Presidency? It is astonishing that the MSM still attach the 'stupid' label to so many Republican politicians. Nancy, currently the most powerful Democrat, could be the poster-girl.

They demand releasing the SPR, but say more drilling isn't a long-term solution. And they blame "speculators" for driving up prices, but claim that announcing more drilling will have zero impact, and lastly they claim it will take too long to wait for drilling so instead we need to wait even longer for alternatives.

Luckily most people aren't stupid enough to be falling for this claptrap.
