Asshat warning! They must be getting desperate after our Energy Bill President is slip sliding away in the popularity polls!

WASHINGTON, April 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is RNC response to Harry Reid's energy price hypocrisy:

"Opining about the price of energy after voting to limit energy production and increase energy costs is yet another perfect example of Harry Reid's and the Democrats' overwhelming hypocrisy. Refusing to explore, drill, or invest in new energy sources, while raising taxes at the pump, has not and will not help American families fill their tanks, or their pocketbooks." -Tracey Schmitt, RNC Press Secretary
