Wonder why as far back as 2005 the Dems opposed almost completed Gas refineries in the USA?

Yet seem to be wanting natural gas to go through via new bills?

hmm

Except for one 'Fact', Skippy...

It wasn't a "Dem Congress" (As you say), until Election 2006 (Not 2005).... Yet another Neo-Skippy that would love it if America didn't know basic facts, huh?

So.... Where's your bitch-n-moan now? (Remembering of course that it was widely RECOGNIZED that until Election ’06, it was known as GWB’s RUBBER STAMP CONGRESS???.... Evidently that's what your neo-con leadership "MUST have WANTED", huh?)
