By the way... I have been predicting for years that this effort to block oil drilling would blow up in the Dems’ face. It only made sense. At some point, you’ve got no choice but to drill. The real question is whether the Dems will make an about face and begin pushing for drilling after the election. They are such demogogues that I would not be surprised. They’ll probably blame the GOP for delaying the drilling.
For now, though, they are going to try to hold it together. Flipping on this issue before the election would just open them to ridicule.
As you see on that video, though, whenever the MSM says “ANWR”, they show those false photos of tall trees and green mountain meadows, and I think most of the public buys into that. I’ve never once seen the President or anyone in Congress dispute that lie on television, and explain and show what ANWR really is, new technology, etc. They advocate drilling, but they are all so half-hearted about it. They don’t explain themselves. “We need to drill up there” just doesn’t cut it.
