High Gas Prices are Al Gore’s Radical Environmentalism Coming Home to Roost

There is something positively obscene about Al Gore’s attack on George W. Bush in today’s Washington Post over the skyrocketing cost of gasoline. He said, to applause at a carpenters' union hall in Des Moines, Iowa, "It's time to put our feet on the brakes of what may well be big oil's price gouging." Prices at the pump in Iowa were about $1.75 a gallon for regular gas. In Wisconsin the prices have already shot past $2 a gallon.

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), speaking with reporters in a conference call arranged by Gore's campaign, today called on the FTC and Congress to subpoena major oil company executives to Washington for an explanation of why gas prices have climbed so high. Saying that Gore supports such a move, Harkin said: "You won't hear George Bush saying anything remotely close to that. . . . That's where he's getting all his money – from the oil companies, his friends."
Well, if George W. Bush has friends in the oil companies, that might just be a good reason to vote for him. Perhaps he is the best qualified person to try to undo the decade of damage done to America’s ability to produce domestic oil caused by Al Gore and his support of the UN’s "sustainable development" policy that requires, in the words of Maurice Strong and Mikhail Gorbachev, co-authors of "The Earth Charter":

Bush campaign promises 2000- present.. lots of oil related LIES..

[phantom power]

1. If Bush installed himself as dictator for life....

these rubes would still be blaming liberals, 30 years from now.

2. Yea it's got nothing to do with the fact that

Let's see we're at war which drives up oil prices (whether it's a bs war or not) we're competing with China for energy, and the biggest fact YOU refuse to drive a normal vehicle or use public transporation so demand for oil skyrockets and guess what? oil is an inelastic product which means you the sucker will pay for it REGARDLESS of its price.

Oh and did I forget to mention that the nation's most powerful oilmen sit at the vice pres and pres's seat.

[whistle]

3. What a bunch of clap-trap this Mary Mostert is trying to put across...

...to the American people. BushCo still blames Bill Clinton and Al Gore for all the failures of the policies which Bush has had in place for four and one half years. It's just plain bullshit!

[politicaholic]

4. Al Gore's fault?

I thought that the WH didn't control gas prices...at least that's what the radio kooks are saying.

[pstans]

5. This makes me so mad

Once again they are deflecting the blame for the failures of Bu$h onto someone else. Gore didn't do anything to make gas prices were they are at today. If Gore did anything it was to start the conversation about reducing our oil consumption.

To find the truth all you have to do is follow the money. Who benefits from the high gas prices? Who donates money to Bu$h's campaign? What nation is best friends with the Bu$h family?

In Farenheit 9/11 Moore said that the US people pay the president $400,000 a year and the Saudi's have given the Bu$h family millions of dollars over the years.

6. Then ExxonMobil et al should be thanking Al Gore

for their obscene profits.

[Toucano]

7. That's absolutely hilarious!

Funniest thing I've seen in weeks. :rofl:

8. PLEASE note the DATE.. it's from 2K..just found it interesting

how crazy the arguments were back then, and eager to have those days back, most of us would be NOW.

9. You also have to remember Smirk was claiming as Prez he could simply

"Jawbone" with the Saudis and get the gas prices lowered to a reasonable level. So here we are, five years later, and "reasonable" out here in SoCal appears to be $2.739 a gallon.

Fuzzy f*ckin' math alright...

[SoCalDem]

10. The jawbone of an ASS

to be sure:)

11. So is it still a good reason?

Down the road gas is $2.40 and on another road the gas is $2.50. And remember what Cheney said about high gas prices.
