Republican Revolt Brewing Against Congress
I smell another crackdown coming (re ANWR and tax cuts). Check out this brilliant letter from Malkin's site:
Sir [Speaker Hastert],
I have a neighbor who is a single mother. She struggles, but she gets by with acombination of determination and hard work. She has a W sticker on her (10 year old) car and she is proud to be a conservative.
Not too long ago she came to my wife in tears, humiliated by the need to borrow money from us; gasoline prices, you see, were high enough to break her meager budget. Thanks to your "leadership", they aren't likely to drop too far, are they?
I served in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst and served in Desert Shield/Desert Storm; I happen to know that dependence on foreign oil has a number of effects- It keeps the price higher; it makes us strategically weaker; it funnels money out of our economy; and it puts some of that money in the pockets of groups like Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and al-Qaeda.
So while the tundra of remote Alaskan coasts may not have a oil derrick, some of the money I spend on gas will be going to the creation of roadside bombs in Iraq. So while Zarqawi may thanks you, I most emphatically do not.
