The cost of gas is twice what it should be (based on testimony of oil execs before congress).
So who’s driving that price?
Oil companies, driving up the price of their own product.
And we give them billions in subsidies every year.
To pollute our country and planet.
And to cut jobs (12,000 american jobs cut over the last 5 years).
And to create propaganda campaigns telling us they are good for the economy.
EVEN DUMBASS CONSERVATIVES SHOULD BE PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS
After attacking public workers and unions (primarily democratic voters), now the republican governor wants to rig Pennsylvania’s electoral college so that its possible for President Obama to win the popular vote in the state, but lose the majority of electoral votes due to republican gerrymandering.
This is again tampering with the voting process.
Had this proposed system been in place in 2008, when Obama won the state by a ten-point margin, he in fact would have only taken 11 out of the state’s 21 electoral votes at the time.
We are a fucking banana republic.
You SHOULD be very pissed off.

Friedman reports that audio he obtained from the conference reveals that Charles Koch alarmingly referred to President Obama as “Saddam Hussein,” saying that the right had to fight the “mother of all wars.”
This is the evil bastard, billionaire ruler of the Tea Party.

“A leaked memo from Bob MacGuffie, a volunteer with the FreedomWorks (a Koch brothers front group) website Tea Party Patriots, details how members should be infiltrating town halls and harassing Democratic members of Congress.”
The memo in question advises volunteers attending town hall meetings to create the illusion that their numbers are greater than they really are:
Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington. They need to leave the hall with some doubts about their agenda. The other objective is to illustrate for the balance of the audience that the national leadership is acting against our founders’ principles which are on the other side of the debate – and show them that there are a lot of solid citizens in the district who oppose the socialist approach to the nation’s challenges.

This is what passes for republicans these days.
Here this nutcase talks about how much she hates the planet, and loves big oil.
Think Progress has been reporting on the groups funding the islamaphobia network.
Emerson’s weak credibility hasn’t stopped him from building a mini-empire from his offices at the well-funded IPT. But his penchant for secrecy — his office location is secret, employees refer to it as “the bat cave,” and journalists who visit it have been blindfolded en route — has raised serious questions about management of IPT’s finances.
Its the fear game, conservatives respond to so well.
If think your taxes went up when they actually went down
If you want to reward the party who created the deficit, then blamed it on the innocent party
If you don’t understand basic economics
If you don’t understand that increasing minimum wage helps everyone in a consumer-based economy.
If your IQ is in the single digits.
conservatives say this is true:
