The Democrats are handing the stumbling Republicans a gift this campaign season, and I don’t mean they’re having Larry Craig fitted out with a pair of cement boots. They’re fighting the energy crisis like a bull fighter soaked in gravy and waving a spoon around - will the Republicans make the most of it? I wouldn’t bet on it, but rarer things have happened. First, starting with Nancy Pelosi, I’d suggest that we commit to memory the following words of wisdom:

“This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

And General Harry Reid:

“Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. Global warming is ruining our country, it’s ruining our world.”

When times are tough, the Dems raise taxes!

The political vision of a summer gas tax holiday died a quick death in Congress, losing to a view that federal excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel will have to go up if they go anywhere.

Despite calls from the presidential campaign trail for a Memorial Day Labor Day tax freeze, lawmakers quickly concluded — with a prod from the construction industry — that having $9 billion less to spend on highways could create a pre-election specter of thousands of lost jobs.

Now, lawmakers quietly are talking about raising fuel taxes by a dime from the current 18.4 cents a gallon on gasoline and 24.3 cents on diesel fuel.

With Obama’s tour turning the Middle East into a Potemkin desert and the Democrats in Congress earning the lowest approval ratings since Ben Franklin sat snoring in Philadelphia, things are looking far more optimistic for the red team than it did three months ago. There’s still plenty of time to screw it up, but there’s certainly reason to surrender - fight on Conservatives!

In case there’s any question as to what started when, here’s a helpful graph that shows gas prices by party congressional control:

Political Vindication Radio!

Over half of American voters (51%) now believe the United States and its allies are winning the war on terror, the highest figure recorded in nearly four years by Rasmussen Reports in a nationwide survey.

Only 16% now think the terrorists are on top, while 27% view it as a stalemate. Prior to this week’s survey, the number who believe the terrorists are winning had never fallen below 20%.

Last July, just 36% thought the U.S. and its allies were winning. At that time, an equal number—36%–thought the terrorists were ahead … Only 23% now expect things to get worse in Iraq, down from 49% last July.

Appears those on the left may be losing their primary source of criticism. UH-OH. So when the polling was down he was a loser and wasn’t listening to the American Public. So I can only assume that now the left will pat him on the back and say good going, keep it up.

I AM WAITING LEFTIES!!!
