Then there is the granddaddy of them all: the oil shale in Green River Formation, which goes through Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. According to a RAND Corp. study, there are 1.5 trillion to 1.8 trillion barrels worth of oil shale in the Green River Formation. That is more than triple the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. At $95 a barrel, it was not economically viable to develop these resources, but at $130 it definitely is. Furthermore, Shell Oil scientists have already conducted small-scale field tests that if replicated on a large scale would make developing the oil shale profitable at $20 a barrel. Are liberals in Congress anxious to see this oil help American consumers? No. Just last week they voted to extend their ban on oil shale development.
The other liberal objection to increased domestic energy production is that the additional supplies will not affect prices for a decade. We will let Jay Leno respond: Democrats said it would not do any good because it would not produce oil for 10 years. You know, same thing they said 10 years ago.

They have their heads in the sand, and their arses are showing.

I could produce television commercials which hammer the Democrats on this or any number of other issues-ads that would devastate the Dems. The trick is to point out to the American people the Democrats’ own words and actions.
The Republicans will never do such a thing, though.

Liberals can run, but they can't hide. And they usually run like girls.

The Republicans will never do such a thing, though. No, it would be difficult considering their new "standard bearer" has voted with the Rats everytime!

At some point, there may be a backlash and then I’ll agree with you.
Unfortunately, I’m just not seeing it.

I don't know ( more like forgot ) how to place a link with a response post, so, my remark are going to be said :
This stuff about ANWR and the liberals not allowing use to drill for oil and other fuels on our own soil brings us to this : ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2032318/posts )
It always has been a Communist / Marxist plot to harm the US economy and military might.... they could give a rat's ass about the environment.... because ? take a look at countries like Russia and China ( and the ONLY reason China is cleaning up Beijing and other areas of China is so they will qualify to have the Olympics there ).

Democrats can run, but they can’t hide. However, they can lie and obfuscate - and frequently do both.
