$10 Gas? Absolutely!!!!!

Last week I posted a video of Senator Salazar of Colorado objecting to a trigger that would release more domestic oil production at $10.00 at the pump. Well today, Amanda Carpenter has video of the MoveOn protest from Monday that says the same thing.

A Washington-based anti-tax advocacy videotaped supporters of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign who support $10 per gallon gas during a protest stand-off Tuesday.

Video here.

Ed Frank, vice president of public affairs for Americans for Prosperity, spoke to Obama supporters during an event organized on Capitol Hill by liberally-leaning MoveOn.org. According to an email MoveOn emailed to supporters the event was designed to “highlight the GOP’s extensive ties to Big Oil.”

There, AFP members handed MoveOn supporters a mock $8 bill and said “this is what Al Gore wants you to pay for gas.”

An older man dressed in an Obama shirt said, “This is too cheap! This is too cheap!” Waving the eight dollar bill he said, “Let’s get it up to ten! Let’s get it up to ten bucks.”

Frank asked the man, “How do you think that will affect the single mom who needs to fill up her minivan?”

The Obama-supporter replied, “A single mom probably doesn’t need a minivan.”

Another man, wearing an Obama pin, told Frank, “I’m hoping we have less supply and more demand, absolutely” because “then people won’t be able to afford it.”

I suppose that I should be happy to see that Obama's supporters actually have a grasp of the "supply and demand" law of economics. I should also, I suppose, be happy that these folks are finally showing their true colors. However, the absolute heartlessness of these folks overwhelms that.

Let this put to rest, FOREVER, the lie that the Democrats and their supporters "care for the little people". They don't care for anyone who stands between them and the power that they crave. They need to have that power in order to FORCE their ideological goals - which in this case is to drive the "little" people out of their cars. Let's not forget that the grand guru of the Global Warming movement flies around the world in a jet that uses more fuel IN ONE TRIP than the average Hummer uses in 2 years! If these people really believe what they say then let THEM be the first ones to sacrifice their lifestyles. As I said before, I have more respect (and will most likely listen to more) for Ed Begley Jr. because he actually walks the talk - unlike Al Gore and the MoveOn folks who drove THEIR SUV's (how else do you think they got all of their big signs and other protest equipment there) to Capital Hill to tell the world that $30.00 gas would be "phenomenal".
