If Democrats Win, Drilling Ban Will Be Reinstated
September 26, 2008
I found this on a new blog, http://therogersinstitute.blogspot.com/. His report cites Rush Limbaugh’s show as the source of this news, but the article comes from CNSNews.com.
True to form, Steny Hoyer, Democrat House Majority Leader, told CNSNews.com that (if Democrats retain the majority) restoring the ban on new offshore oil drilling leases “will be a top priority for discussion next year.” Read the story here.
In other words, they know the public is watching, and we are for domestic drilling to lower our gasoline prices. If they tried to pass legislation now before November it would clue people to what their position is and possibly lose the election for them. So they are going to let the ban expire next week (knowing that oil companies will not take the chance of doing anything with the threat of more legislation pending) and then make it a priority as soon as the election is over as aoon they are out of danger of losing seats. If that doesn’t anger you, then nothing will.
The majority of the country is pro-oil exploration. We have seen what our energy policies have gotten us, and we want to change. But Democrats are beholden to environmental special interests. That’s where they get a LOT of money. Even if it hurts the American people, Democrats are promising to pass new legislation that bans drilling. We MUST change the majority to have a chance at changing the country.
When we started this website, we tried to be non-partisan. But it has become clearer that, on energy at least, the Republicans are the good guys and Democrats are the bad guys in this debate. That’s just the way it is… and they are even admitting it! – FedUpEditor
