Go Thad!

"We do not use pictures to explain America's energy policy or put forth conspiracy theories as to why you are feeling pain at the pump."

Did he just say he doesn't do something at the moment he was doing that very thing?

[aliakbar01]

It's called parody. We can fight their stupid game if they want it this way.

[EROX07]

No. I think there's another word for it. Hypocracy? If a Democrat had put up a picture of, say, John Boehner with the Saudis, and said this is why gas prices are high, then it would be parody.

Did the Democrats ever do that? I don't know. I'm asking.

Gas is cheap, in Mexico it's $2.54 USD a gallon. The price we pay at the pump is set by the multinational oil companies who set the price as high as they can as long as people are willing to pay. Trying infer that the price of oil is set by OPEC is stretching the real world into some Alice in wonderland world, where Alice has to listen to a smoking caterpillar.
