So Much for Non-Partisan – Oil Drilling IS Partisan
July 31, 2008
As we have said before, we believe that high gas prices are a non-partisan issue. Our purpose was not to promote one party or another, but only the idea of lower gas prices. So why is it that the Sierra Club and MoveOn.org are teaming up against McCain on the no-drilling issue? Do they like poor people to pay high gas prices? You lower and middle class citizens remember this when you go to the polls this November… The Sierra Club and MoveOn.org want HIGHER GAS PRICES… and they are supporting Obama and Democrats.
As much as we hate to say it, this has become a partisan issue. Shouldn’t be, but it is. Why would the party of, by and for the little people be opposed to domestic drilling which would bring down gas prices? MoveOn.org has claimed they bought and paid for the Democratic Party… they own it… and they set the agenda. I guess we the people don’t count anymore.
From Washington Post.com
Environmental and liberal groups are teaming up to attack Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on oil drilling today, with the Sierra Club and MoveOn.org both airing television ads linking the presumptive GOP nominee to major oil companies. [Our reply - SO WHAT? Who else is going to bring in the oil and refine it? Al Gore? - Editor]
While several Democratic-aligned groups have yet to launch independent expenditures this year, environmental groups are planning to run a costly effort to elect Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) despite McCain’s historic support for a federal cap on carbon emissions linked to global warming. McCain has cast erratic votes over the years on several environmental issues, and has infuriated green groups with his support for offshore oil drilling and a federal gas tax holiday. [Another demonstration that Democrats and their supporters are against lowering gas prices for the rest of us... something that a federal gas tax holiday would do IMMEDIATELY! - Editor]
Each separate ad buy will cost six-figures, according to the groups, with the Sierra Club airing its ad statewide in New Hampshire; as well as in Denver, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and (that famous battleground state) DC. That ad suggests “Big Oil companies have our economy and politics in a choke hold” and McCain’s answer to rising gas prices is “another $4 billion giveaway to Big Oil.” Obama, the group argues, “has a plan the breaks the grip of Big Oil.” Earlier this week, the group launched a six-figure radio buy in swing states. [And when those jobs that Big Oil provides go away because the tax incentives are done away with, who will be complaining again? That's right, folks. You and me! After all, the politicians have a job! - Editor]

Got something to say?
Re: Pelosi
I just wonder it she has every in the last 5 years , has she even had to go a gas pump and watch the $ meter spill faster & faster each week than the week before ?
I do not thing so!
Someone needs to investitage (can’t spell) her HUSBAND and him about his sweethearts deals contractors his companies have won (through insider information or payoffs!) throughtout the years she (Pelosis was in Congress!)
was in power, no representing the middle class, lower class, poor constinuticnsey of her district?
Some one needs to ask her that one or two questions?
Any takers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a Nice Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not sure about Pelosi (though she does have her NON UNION Piati’s Restaurants) but Feinstein was steering non compete deals to her husband. Nothing in there about oil or environmental payoffs. But we’re digging. Congress just went on recess without doing anything. People need to know who is making them pay these outrageous gas prices. Here in California it is $4.699 a gallon just down 20 cents.
