Democrat’s Hypocritical Reaction to Gas Prices Revisited

Steve MacDonald

pumping gasOn March 20th, 2014 I produced (what I thought was) a useful visual aid. It demonstrated the truth about Democrat “feelings” and “concern” for the impact of average US retail gas prices on “Working Americans” and or “American Families.” They don’t care.

It showed how, when George Bush was President, it was a huge issue. Democrats running for office in 2008 ran on it. While Gas was between three and four-dollars per gallon under Obama, four approximately four years, Democrats had nothing to say. They didn’t talk about it. It didn’t concern them.

History repeats itself, so it’s time for a new visual aid to help demonstrate the truth about the left and the cost of motor fuel.

Let Them Eat Crumbs!

Steve MacDonald

We are hiringCNBC is reporting that jobless claims have hit a 48-year low (which for the math challenged includes the years when Obama was President).

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits were unchanged at a seasonally adjusted 211,000 for the week ended May 5, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims dropped to 209,000 during the week ended April 21, which was the lowest level since December 1969.

There are more jobs than skilled labor, by many estimates. Hey, maybe some of those able-bodied folks on Medicaid Expansion will look for work before January 2019 when the NH Waiver makes it mandatory?

From Wynton Hall at Breitbart…an end of year (or beginning of year) list of Mr. Obama’s new normal.  This is his America, and that of Democrats who have had a majority control of the US government for six years now. Mr. Hall calls these “seven firsts for the US economy.”

1. All-time record annual average gas price: In 2012, the average cost of a gallon of gas eclipsed the previous record by nine cents, bringing the annual average to $3.60.

2. All-time record food stamp participation: As of last month, for the first time in American history, 47,710,324 individuals — roughly one out of every seven people living in the United States — now receive food stamps.

Bidenesque

Steve MacDonald

Thanks Joe! “I was recently at my local gas station and asked a guy named Joey Danco. I said, ‘Joey, how much did it cost to fill your tank?’ You know what his answer was? He said, ‘I don’t know, Joe. I never have enough money to do it.’” Gas was $3.17 when Joe Biden … Read more

Ask New Hampshire Democrats…About Gas Prices

Steve MacDonald

Nothing says ‘we have no principles whatsoever’ like a crowd of screeching banshees gone silent when the shoe is on the other foot. If you’ve failed to notice, this happens to Democrats often, and no example is more prominent than gas prices.

Grab Some Sticky Notes…

Steve MacDonald

The Post-It®  note revolt is gaining steam.  People are making it habit of leaving little messages at the gas pump, portable little blog posts for fellow consumers who might need something else for their eyes to settle on aside from the climbing-scrolling-rising cost of their fill-up. So here’ s a free stock tip.  Buy some … Read more

How About Those Gas Prices?

Rick Olson

“As you know, the government takes 40 percent of what you make. The other 60 percent, of course, taken by the gas stations.” — Jay Leno

Is this You?Been to a Gas Station Lately? Prices have spiked markedly in the last two weeks. For those of us driving Sport Utility Vehicles the effect is most pronounced. Just this week it cost nearly eighty dollars to fill my Ford Explorer’s fuel tank. It was nearly a year ago when President Obama quipped,

“If you’re complaining about the price of gas, and you’re only getting 8 miles to the gallon… you may wanna think about a trade-in”

Yes. I know..it’s an SUV….but show me a “clown car” with the performance benefits of an SUV. Fact is, there isn’t one. It appears that Obama believes middle America has the means to expend all the funds necessary to lower gasoline costs and improve efficiency. The President may well be right, but he overlooks the considerable cost one has to undertake to achieve that end.

Obama – Campaign 2012 Prep-Talk!

Steve MacDonald

Obama%202012.JPGThe Obama campaign has released it’s "trailer" for the 2012 campaign movie called "I’m In."  I’m not, but since they sent it to me I figured I’d watch it. Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, clues us in, and the first slide he shows us is this one.

My mind translated these five points into "truths" almost immediately–which is what encouraged me to write this post.

1. Register more illegal aliens, cartoon characters, and dead people.

2. Make up more names–useful as both voters and undisclosed credit card donors.

3.  Use that money to buy more astroturfers.

4.  Figure out if we need to register more fake names, and get more illegal contributions to buy more astroturfers.

5. If we don’t think we can steal it just intimidate whitey–no one will prosecute.

So right out of the gate we’ve got possibilities.  Unfortunately, the remaining discussion and slides, while exciting to whatever Obamazombies may still have the juice to lie and deceive for dear leader, and more like an Amway sales pitch with lots of talk about how new and different this campaign is, but how they’ll have to do the same things they did before–just better.

One problem.  Obama has a record that his supporters and the media cannot hide.  So be prepared to listen to the horde of left wing liars as they spread like a disease across your neighborhood to sell Obama 2.0.

My suggestion?  Ask them the questions the media never did.  Challenge every assumption.  give them facts, and send them away crying behind their clip-boards.
