Finally! The Democrats are starting to think like Karl Rove. There is a God, and, yes Virginia, he is a liberal. The dems are coming out of the closet and declaring that the energy bill the house passed on Thursday will raise gasoline prices and subsidize oil companies, but fail to reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil. If that doesn’t get the red states’ attention, then they really are good for nothing but flying over.
The sounding call came from Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass who said in Dem’s weekly radio address: "We cannot afford to continue to pursue such a failed energy policy. If we fail to reduce our dependence on Opec oil, we remain beholden to events in dangerous, unstable parts of the world. ... If we fail to reduce the cost of energy, businesses will suffer.”
I’m dead serious with what I’m about to say: the tone of his address is classic Rove. Scare the bejeez out of everyone. Paint a picture of a doomed world where Muslims rule us. Thank you, God. Thank you Rep. Markey. Now you dems are starting to get the picture. Win votes by fear. W did and look at how good it worked for him in the last election.
