Who in the hell is behind $5 gas?


John Hinderaker explains:

For several decades, the Democratic Party has pursued policies designed to drive up the cost of petroleum, and therefore gas at the pump. Remarkably, the Democrats don't seem to have taken much of a political hit from the current spike in gas prices. Probably that's because most people don't realize how different the two parties' energy policies have been.

To help illustrate:

Percent of
Democrats against
Percent of
Republicans for

ANWR Exploration
86%91%

Coal-to-Liquid
78%97%

Oil Shale Exploration
86%90%

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration
83%81%

Refinery Increased Capacity
96%97%

SUMMARY
86%91%

91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of American-made oil and gas. 86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production of American-made oil and gas.

Vote accordingly in 2008.
