Are Democrats stupid?

Given that Democrats are not stupid, and given that their Masters, aka the Far Left, is not stupid, you just have to wonder why they oppose drilling for oil in the US. I mean it is obvious that the economy is going into the tank, and it is obvious that this won't be a short term problem if we don't do something to strengthen the dollar by taking the pressure off of it by buying non-OPEC oil.

So why are the doing this?

Some speculate that they believe that by depressing the economy they can win the election. So this isn't about "saving the planet" but electing Demos. I desperately hope that is wrong because that means we have a large number of totally despeciable polticians and their supporters.

I think it has to do with their belief that, as good elitists, they know what is best for the American people, and since the American people haven't embraced the proper life styles they intend to force them into it by keeping gasoline prices high. Hussein let the cat out of the bag here.

Obama, an Illinois senator and the front-runner for his party's presidential nomination, has made fighting climate change a key issue of his campaign, and as fuel prices soar, he has repeatedly called on car makers to increase fuel efficiency standards.

Without specifically telling Americans to stop buying gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles, the Illinois senator said higher fuel prices would lead to a shift.

"We've seen that this quarter. People are changing their behavior and we've seen a slump in the sales of SUVs and big trucks and a drastic spike in cars both medium size and small," he told reporters on his campaign plane.

The problem is that if the economy continues to go south, people won't be able to replace their existing vehicles, so higher fuel prices will merely result in less and less dollars to be spent on things besides transportation and utilities.

Hussein obviously doesn't understand that with most us there is something called a "budget" that we have to live with.

Or perhaps he does, but doesn't care what pain his knuckle headed policies would cause the ordinary citizen. After all he clearly told what he sees for the future. No new technology. No new sources. Just less and less. Just as long as it makes the third world happy.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ...

Are we electing a President, or a delegate to the United Nations?
