Maggie's Farm

Democrats in Congress for the past 30 years must take the blame for this mess and it's about time Republicans let the American people know about it. Democrats have created our energy crisis and unfolding recession with their fossil fuel/global warming paranoia ,and resulting hare-brained alternative energy schemes, chief of which is corn ethanol.

And by extension, our dependency on Middle East oil, forced on us by Democrat intransigence, brought us to the 2 wars in Iraq and on the brink of another with Iran. American energy independence through development of our more than ample American oil and gas reserves will reduce or eliminate our reliance on Middle East energy sources. In addition it will create jobs, payrolls, profits, and circulate all of these benefits many times through the American economy instead of lining some Oil Sheihk's tent.

Well nigh time to send the Democrats in Congress into permanent retirement and elect a Republican government to do what must be done. Yet the MSM keeps telling us that this a Democrat year! Even defeatist Republicans say it's a Democrat year. What is wrong with these people?! We are at a watershed moment in American history but our leadership is not up to the task. Americans want change alright but it has nothing to do with the change Obama and the Democrats have in mind.
