“When your Texas oilman and the Republicans took power in 2000, oil was $30/barrel and gas was $1.50. After 7 years of Repub leadership oil is $140 and gas over $4.00.”
Yeah, but the bulk of the change happened after the Dems took over Congress in ’06. this is not just a quibble, the Dems won’t allow drilling or ANWR or nuclear or even wind-power near Ted Kennedy’s home. and it doesn’t help that Dem hedge fund managers and gov’t employee union pension funds got into the speculation that drove prices higher.
