for democrats who may be Ron Paul fans- right from his website

"I've introduced The Affordable Gas Price Act (HR 2415) to deal with some of these issues. My bill would suspend Federal fuel taxes when prices rise above $3.00 a gallon, giving some immediate relief at the pump. It would also repeal misguided legislation that causes more investment in attorneys and nuisance litigation than in actually producing affordable gasoline and strengthening our refining capacity. Also, it would open up ANWR for oil exploration and repeal the federal moratorium on off-shore drilling."

Just call him renewable Ron.

2. Why doesn't he just give escalating subsidies for increased fossil fuel use?

There's just way too much oil hanging around underground polluting the rock strata. We need to get it out of there and convert it to something less harmful, like CO2.

6. Ahh, I see the honorable mr. paul is of the, "oil is going to last forever", crew.

"Damn those tree huggers, if they only would let us all drill where ever we want, there would be plenty of oil!!!"

riiiiiiight....

I love the part about suspending federal fuel taxes. So how does mr....paul, expect to pay for road construction and repair? with pixie dust?

Like I have said before, he's a fucking nutjob.
