Posted at 11:46am on Jun. 6, 2008 If you're going to go after Big Oil for gas-price gouging, shouldn't you, like, know the price of gas yourself?

Or is that simply too much to ask in the face of confronting (KnownFact) Pure Eeeeeeeeeevil?

By Jeff Emanuel

Kay Barnes says she wants to represent Missouri's 6th Congressional District, "not Exxon," in the United States Congress.

She even has on her web site a diatribe against her incumbent opponent, Republican Congressman Sam Graves, in which she accuses him of "ignor[ing] rising gas prices over the past seven years," while "vot[ing] time and time again to give billions in tax credits and giveaways to Big Oil."

Ms. Barnes sounds very, very concerned about the price Americans and 6th District Missourians are paying at the gas pump.

The problem? As you can see in the video below, she has no idea what that price is.

Perhaps Kay Barnes should learn what the actual price of gas in her district is before railing against those nefarious Big Oil companies who are supposedly gouging her would-be constituents.

Just a suggestion.

Posted at 10:20am on Sep. 18, 2007 Roy Blunt and Tom Price talk to RedState

By Erick

Yesterday, I met by phone with Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) and Congressman Roy Blunt (R-MO). We talked about Gen. Petraeus's report and how it has united the GOP and divided the Democrats.

As Congressman Blunt noted, the Democrats pre-emptively ran away from Gen. Petraeus and it hurt them. Now the Dems are slowly walking back to Petraeus in an attempt to score points against the White House -- trying to have it both ways.

We also talked about Republican unity and taking back the House. As both congressmen noted, the GOP in the House will most likely soon be fully back where the base wants it — on the side of taxpayers against big government spending. Congressman Blunt expects a show of real unity voting against the Democrats' spending plans.

What can we do to help? Congressman Price has a great idea. Most of us do not live in swing districts. But there are about 61 districts out there where the Democrats control the seat while President Bush won them in 2004. We should all look at adopting a candidate for Congress if we live in a district that is definitely safe for either side.

A programming note: tomorrow I'll have an interview with Laura Ingraham.
