Romney Must Cease and Desist From Ethanol Mandate

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  August 23rd at 10:51 AM  | 

Earlier today, Mitt Romney unveiled his comprehensive energy plan he will pursue as president.  Energy policy provides Republicans with their most potent weapon against Obama in this campaign.  Nothing emblematizes Obama’s socialist, anti-prosperity style of governance more than his destructive energy policy compromised of a “none-of-the-above” approach.  Well, none of the above except for green energy.  To that end, Romney’s biggest ace in the hole | Read More »

The Highway Bill and ANWR: It’s a Trap!

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 14th at 04:58 PM  | 

Well, it appears that our efforts are paying off.  Responding to our charge that the GOP was violating the pledge against bundled megabills, Boehner announced that he will split the proposal into three separate bills; the highway bill (HR 7), pension reform (HR 3813), and expanded oil and gas drilling (HR 3408).  This from Roll Call: In a joint statement with Rules Chairman David Dreier | Read More »

Nothing Evinces Hypocrisy More than Obama’s Oil Policy

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 27th at 07:50 AM  | 

President Obama has asserted ad nauseam that expanding oil drilling would not affect the price of oil and generate price relief at the gas pump.  He has scoffed at the ‘drill, baby, drill’ plan, denouncing it as insufficient in dealing with our “long-term” energy needs.  Now that his reelection prospects are beginning to wither, Obama is undergoing a foxhole conversion and easing his aversion to that “addictive” | Read More »

Obama Administration Continues its Anti-Drilling Chicanery in Alaska

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 3rd at 08:41 AM  | 

Last month, during his weekly radio address, Barack Obama announced his plans to drill in NPR-A.  No-he wasn’t planning to eviscerate his genuflecting media outlet; he was promising to issue more land leases in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. Like most of his capricious gestures to conservative policy initiatives, this promise was vapid of substance and lacking accountability.  He knew all along that his unelected bureaucrats | Read More »

Let’s Nail Democrats on Their Duplicity with Energy Subsidies

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  May 18th at 09:26 AM  | 

“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”~ President Ronald Reagan Democrats (and the Maine Republicans ladies) are agog to demonize oil companies and punish them with punitive tax increases.  Their effort was defeat yesterday 52-48, but they plan to continue | Read More »

War of the Worlds

By: Josh Painter (Diary)  |  December 15th at 05:01 PM  | 

Disgraced Democrat former senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, before he disgraced himself, was fond of saying that there were two Americas. There are also two worlds, or at least two. There are actually many worlds, most of them invented by liberals who are long on fantasies and feelings but short on facts. But let’s just consider two of all the possible worlds. One | Read More »
