The journ-0-lists certainly accept that premise now.
I saw a column in our Gannett generipaper that said:
Republicans liked to talk about “drill baby drill” but Obama made it happen.
Sadly a significant percentage of voters will believe that.
How many times - how many - did the liberal plutocracy ridicule, “Drill, baby, Drill”? A million? More?
So I guess Conservatives were right, again, and Liberals, as usual, don’t know anything above bumper-sticker thinking.
