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.

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

My local critter is Hinchey and their newest delay tactic seems to be the “use it or lose it” distractionary tactic.

Hinchey is FURIOUS at big oil because they already have 68 MILLION ACRES that they are NOT DRILLING, and until they start utilizing these acreage, then why the heck should the gov. hand over more land to them?

I’ve seen this spin coming from other dems too.

I don’t know if the average joe will fall for it or not.
I guess we’ll find out.

No, I agree with what you're saying, but I don't understand why the GOP can't do something to shove some blame back on the Dems who control Congress. They are totally mute right now and I don't understand why.
