Oil prices rose 8% today.

Oil prices rose $11 per barrel today, closing at $139/barrel.

Now, you might ask yourself 'What was the price of a barrel of crude in 1990?'

$10/barrel.

That's right, oil prices rose more today, than a whole barrel of oil cost in 1990.

You might ask yourself 'Why is that?'

Simple. In the past 30 years:

Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum.
Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR.
Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida.
Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast.
Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast.
Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast.
Democrats have blocked building oil refineries.
Democrats have blocked clean nuclear energy production.
Democrats have blocked clean coal production.

AMERICA HAS ENOUGH OIL TO BE THE # 1 OIL-PRODUCING NATION IN THE WORLD

That's why I laugh every time I hear a DemocRat complain about high gas prices.
