Democrats stand to lose big on the oil issue
June 20, 2008
Chris Kelly has an OLD fetish… extreme environmentalism.
If you take what they are saying at the Huffington Post to heart, this oil run up is Bush’s fault. Chris Kelly (CLUELESS MEDIA TYPE) has just written a piece that says essentially that. It has been a Democratic talking point for over 4 years now. Enough is enough. We need to work together and solve this problem. Even liberals are tired of ever-increasing gas prices!
This article makes the dubious assertion that Senator David Vitter’s (HERO) new plan E.N.O.U.G.H, which stands for Energy Needed Offshore Under Gas Hikes, proposes to drill in the Gulf without consideration for the environment. Hogwash. US Oil companies are some of the cleanest, most environmentally conscious corporations, moreso than Venezuela, China or the Middle East. His points are ludicrous and ridiculous, but appropriate considering the audience he is writing for… a liberal left wing blog, not a place where there is a lot of real discussion. He says:
Here’s how Vitter says it works:
The ENOUGH Act would trigger increased energy exploration off a state’s own coast once the price of regular gasoline reaches $5 a gallon. Once the ENOUGH Act’s trigger is reached, it allows a governor, with the concurrence of the state legislature, to petition for increased energy exploration on the Outer Continental Shelf.
It makes a kind of brutish sense if you don’t think about it too hard. He’s not saying that the Gulf of Mexico isn’t a fragile ecosystem, or that we shouldn’t honor the earth and water, and guard them as a holy trust. He’s just saying once gas gets to five bucks, screw it. It’s every plant and animal for himself.
What a twit. We hate to start the name calling, but Mr. Kelly is obiously in the tank for those who would harm our country and our economy. How could it be anything else? This is a serious issue and he’s making jokes and throwing insults at the people who are trying to solve it!
One comment made the point that if Democrats don’t start to look for solutions, Republicans will own this issue in the fall and turn the election on its head. People will not stand for much more, not Republicans, Democrats or Independents. Mark our words.
