Democrats And Energy



Congressional Democrat Marxists have been blocking oil drilling by making monuments of the oil bearing ground, examples of pollution of all new refineries and scaremongering new nuclear power plant construction by constricting options for waste storage. Can't people think for themselves any more?

NRO's David Freddoso has some helpful hints.
In the novel 1984, George Orwell used the word “doublethink” to describe the process of believing two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The concept invites an appropriate but superficial comparison to congressional Democrats’ current approach to gasoline prices.
The best for last
The OCS drilling ban expires on September 30, with the Department of the Interior’s fiscal 2008 appropriations. Although House sources believe it will almost certainly be renewed, that renewal will create another political pressure point on a good Republican issue close to this year’s election.
Renew the offshore drilling ban ban or lose the ban, nice bind you have there. The people will be watching.
