Seeking Scapegoats

At every opportunity, Democrats have thwarted oil exploration and development. So it's hardly a surprise that they want to blame someone for high gasoline prices.

The document circulating among Democrats was authored by Center for American Progress Chairman John Podesta and pollster Geoff Garin, and cites private polling that confirms “Americans are tired of the stranglehold oil companies have over our national energy policy.”

The strategists reveal that a CAP Action Fund poll taken by Garin’s firm, Hart Research, found that 59 percent of Americans say they’ve suffered due to high gas prices – “with large majorities of the public assigning a significant share of the blame to the major oil companies and Wall Street speculators.”

By the way, "Wall Street speculator" is Democrat-speak for Jew.
