The Gang of 10

Why is it that just when we have the Leftinistra over a barrel - no pun intended - we have moron RINO idjits mukking it all up? Why is that?

Enter Lindsey Graham , John Thune, Saxby Chambliss, Bob Corker and Johnny Isakson. Heroes in their own minds, but they have a plan. Go get your antacid before continuing. You're going to need it.

This "Gang of 10" announced a "sweeping" and "bipartisan" energy plan to break Washington's energy "stalemate." What they did was throw every vulnerable Democrat, and Mr. Obama, a life preserver.

That's because the plan is a Democratic giveaway. New production on offshore federal lands is left to state legislatures, and then in only four coastal states. The regulatory hurdles are huge. And the bill bars drilling within 50 miles of the coast -- putting off limits some of the most productive areas. Alaska's oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is still a no-go.

The highlight is instead $84 billion in tax credits, subsidies and federal handouts for alternative fuels and renewables. The Gang of 10 intends to pay for all this in part by raising taxes on . . . oil companies! The Sierra Club couldn't have penned it better. And so the Republican Five has potentially given antidrilling Democrats the political cover they need to neutralize energy through November.

This is just unbelievable. It really is truly retarded this Gang of 10. And it is very active.

Politics has its puzzling moments. John McCain and most of the GOP experienced one late last week. That was when five of their own set about dismantling the best issue Republicans have in the upcoming election. [...]

Idiots. Designator is H.R. 6566
