Finding the Outrage

As Republicans try to avoid an electoral debacle come November, they might be well advised to explain to the American people the nexus between Democratic policies and higher gas prices.

As Gary Andres points out in today's Washington Times,

For years Democrats conspired with environmental special-interest groups in Washington to block a host of even modest proposals, ranging from expanded domestic drilling, to increased use of nuclear power, to common-sense rules allowing more adequate refining capacity — all factors that would increase supply and reduce prices. Now Democrats have the audacity to stand in front of gas stations and say prices are too high.

Heck, Ted Kennedy doesn't even want to explore the possibility of wind-powered energy. As the executive director of Greenpeace USA points out in this piece:

The Democrats are going to kill the first big offshore wind farm in the United States because of their relationship with Ted Kennedy.
