It is truly a shame when the government of a democracy punishes its people because of arrogant, elitist attitudes like those held by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and most of the other Democrats in Congress. The environmental leftists have infiltrated and taken control of the Democratic party. They now have a stranglehold on our economy through the Environmental Protection Agency, Congress, and the courts.Nothing other than an arrogant, elitist attitude would cause a politician to ignore polls showing that 70% of the American people support drilling on our own soil and offshore. They look down upon the "common people" and they intend to punish us with high fuel costs until we develop alternative energies. How arrogant and condescending.
Our government has becoming a ruling body instead of a representing body. They represent themselves and rule over us. If our democracy is to continue it is incumbent upon us to do whatever is necessary to regain our representative republic of the people, by the people, and for the people.
