This is where the GOP has dropped the ball, big time. Pelosi promised when she took control that she would lower the price of gasoline. Back then, it was $2.56/gallon. So what kind of hay does the GOP make of this fact? Nothing...zilch...nada...zip. What the hell is the GOP waiting for? When are they going to start fighting back and point out that the no drill philosophy makes no sense.

So what if they're right and it takes 10 years...at least they're doing something. Further, if Congress came out and announced drilling in ANWR, the OCS, and all federal lands, that sucking sound you'd hear would be the spot price of oil doing a downward spiral. Gees, guys, how hard can it be to make points against someone like Harry Reid who's actually on record saying that Federal Income taxes are voluntary. We elected you Bozos, but we can also throw you out and right now, with a 9% approval rating, I'd be trying to do something good rather than standing around with my thumb up my a$$.

Your points are clear as day to the choir here on Free Republic, but my point is that the Democommies CANNOT allow drilling, because if the price drops, then the voters will say : "Why were we paying $4 a gallon for 6 months?"

That's when the stuff would hit the fan for the Rats.

Since our other points aren't working, maybe we should be pointing out that the DemocRats can't let drilling succeed in lowering prices.

Because the Congressional GOP has had exactly one accomplishment in the 14 years since it took Congress. Welfare Reform. After that, they ran like rabbits from the hounds everytime the Dems threatened to criticize or attack their proposals. They became ashamed and fearful when putting forward any proposal lest the Dems and the media attack them for killing children, putting seniors on the street eating dog food, and taking America back to the post Reconstruction Era in civil rights.

Does anyone but me remember that the dems and libs, have for a LONG time been saying that the only way to stop us greedy Americans from driving those evil internal combustion engines was to make sure gas gets so high we’ll HAVE to stop (supply and demand, invent other means, etc). The environmentalists have been trying to make this happen since the 70’s and they’re finally succeeding, I think because now it’s so hip and cool to be a bell bottom wearing retro hippy or something! How have the masses been so quickly brainwashed? We have cleaned up the burning of fossil fuels in our cars haven’t we? I refuse to buy that whole line of crap again, after I bought it in the 70’s as a college student. I refuse!! Plain Propaganda!!
