Democrat Journalist: Any Honor Left in Today's Journalism?
Democrat newspaper columnist Orson Scott Card states, "If you who produce our local daily paper had any personal honor, you would find it unbearable to let the American people believe that somehow Republicans were to blame for this (mortgage) crisis.” “This was a Congress-caused crisis, beginning during the Clinton administration, with Democrats leading the way into the crisis and blocking every effort to get out of it in a timely fashion.” “If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats — including Barack Obama — and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans — then you are not journalists by any standard.”

Democrats Have Two Decade History Blocking American Oil
Tragically, America sends over $700 billion every year to foreign countries – mostly in the Middle East – for our oil needs. Few people realize that just over 20 years ago, in 1985, 75 percent of the crude oil used in the United States refineries came from American oil fields – and only 25 percent came from abroad. Today, 70 percent comes from foreign sources, and only 30 percent is from domestic sources.

Energy: What Congress Should be Doing
When I was first elected 14 years ago one of the many issues I began to work on was the critical issue of energy supply. America’s economy was growing and with it was the demand for fuel. Also nations like China and India were throwing off the shackles of Socialism. As they prospered global demand for fuel rose even more. Today, with $4 a gallon gas American families and businesses are suffering while Middle Eastern dictators get richer...

AP: Budget Deficit Twice as Big as Last Year's
