Democrats Support Higher Gasoline Prices

After a year of crying about how George W Bush and Republicans are out of touch with the American people; after a year of crying about high gas prices; after a year of crying about record profits for oil companies; Democrats BLOCKED a measure in the Senate that would help to remedy all the above problems. Senate Democrats filibustered the Defense Bill which included a provision to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Republicans had to remove the measure or the military would not be funded along with additional Hurricane Katrina relief.

Great move Dems. This does nothing to help Americans with oil prices at all. It was Democrats who cried all of 2005 about high prices do I need to remind you? It was Democrats who said that George W Bush needs to do something about high gas and oil prices. When he and Republicans actually do something about it, they block it. What hypocrites.
