Do I see a spine on the backs of some House Goper’s?
BTTT
The Democrats want the oil companies to drill for oil where there is no oil - Republicans want to drill for oil where there is oil.
The Republicans had better not cower on this no matter what spin the Democrats put on it...a lot of times they start strong and then seem to “fatigue” to the fight - NO. Fight until we win on this - because we are right.
Twenty six Republicans supported it? What a bunch of wimps!

we need the names of the rinos who voted for this hoax.
The Republicans didn’t block anything, they assured the current “use it or lose it” law stays on the book. I guarantee that no oil company is sitting on areas that contain oil worth getting at $140 a barrel.
Opponents said the legislation... would bar oil companies from obtaining new leases if they were not actively exploring current holdings. Republicans said companies might be reluctant to bid on new sites they could then lose if they were seen as not moving fast enough. The White House expressed a similar view in issuing a veto threat against the bill. "By blocking some firms from competing for new leases, this legislation would further increase gasoline prices that already exceed $4 per gallon and result in unintended consequences due to litigation," the White House said.The Demwits want to favor foreign companies, specifically, their terrorist-state allies from OPEC, in the development of US resources.
