Obama and Democrats: Sanctimnious Hypocrites

I have accused Barack Obama, correctly, of being a sanctimonious hypocrtie for his meaningless statement that he disagreed with the Supreme Court "dictatorship of the judiciary" opinion that Louisiana could not execute child rapists.  In fact, Obama is the sam hypocrite on the death penalty itself, and on the Second Amendment (where he has said both that he believes in the Second Amendment AND that he supported the BAN on handguns in Washington, D.C.).  That is because Obama well knows that the JUDGES he appoints will be leftists voting to impose a dictatorship of the judiciary, just like the present, recognized leftist justices on the Supreme Court--at which point Obama will throw up his hands and say the Supreme Court has spoken.  If you don't believe that, ask yourself what Obama has said he would DO about that child rapist decision with which he has said he disagrees?

Let us go to OIL, however, for more examples of rank hypocrisy by Obama.  What did he say TODAY on oil?  He said that his GOAL is to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by 2030--to have us importing only 35% of our oil from foreign sources then rather than the present 65%.

That is TWENTY TWO YEARS FROM NOW.  I could never make this stuff up.  If you can't see the total, sanctimonious hypocrisy here, you are not listening.

Obama, and Democrats, OPPOSE more domestic drilling for oil (that is, they oppose letting PRIVATE companies do that, at no cost to taxpayers) in ANWR, offshore, and in addition to opposing the development of oil shale resources.  What do they say when it is suggested that is INSANE, when gasoline and oil prices are destroying our economy?  Come on.  You know what they say.

They say that more drilling, and development of oil resources, will not reduce the price of gasoline NOW, but will take 5, 7, or l0 years to have any impact.  Do you SEE the rank hypocrisy yet?  Obama is talking about 2030--TWENTY TWO YEARS from now.  There is no question at all that domestic drilling and exploration NOW will mean a LOT 22 years from now. 

Can you get any more stupid.  It does not even make any sense.  Leftist Democrats don't WANT the prcie of gasoline to go down, and do not WANT us to produce more domestic oil.  It is almost a religion with them, and they are willing to practice any deception, no matter how obvious, to avoid confronting their own insanity.  HOW do we even reduce our dependence on foreing oil to 35% by 2030 without developing more domoestic resources?  Even if we could, is it not obvious that we could then reduce our dependence even more with successful domestic development of ouor oil resources (in combination with whatever reasonable "alternative" energy policies we adopt)?

The Democrat position on oil is not even rational.  This was exposed today by Barack Obama, as he talks about 2030.   See my own previous entries about how we CAN DO something about gasoline prices NOW if we combine a change of market psychology (by making it clear that we ARE going to aggressively develop our oil resources, nuclear power, etc.) with an IMMEDIATE 20% cut in the use of oil lby the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (with challegnes to industry to match it).  CAN the Federal Government cut its use of gasoline by 20% within a month or two?  Yes, it CAN.  Many families have.  It just takes the WILL for the Federal Government to sacrifice like the rest of us.

Regardless of whether you like my solutions to gasoline prices, however, the total hypocrisy of Obama and the Democrats is obvious.  This, alone, should disqualify them for public office.   (I know, McCain is only slightly better, but that is the cross we conservatives now have to bear.)
