Drilling hasn't "failed"; it hasn't been PERMITTED for the last 30 years.
What HAS FAILED is the kumbayah **** approach of the dems which has now had thirty years in which to replace all of the evil Gaia-hateful technologies of the past with windmills and solar panels, and it hasn't happened.
The dems are clearly the ones locked into an ideological vise on this one and when you vote for them or even fail to vote for pubbies, you're telling the world that you want to pay more for gasoline, heating oil, and natural gas, and deserve to pay more.
Right now there are something like 40 large jet aircraft engines pumping propane gas back into the ground on the Alaska oil fields. Enough to heat many if not most of the homes in the US and the dems and their Ewhack constituents will not allow us to have it.
This is for the greater glory of Gaia and it is a form of idolatry. In fact there is nothing in the Old Testament to indicate that anybody ever sacraficed an entire nation to an idol, this is new.
Unless the GOP has decided to surrender to the Dems/Commies/Socialists, they can easily kick butt and take names in November through a get tough advertising campaign and collectively staying on message. Giving examples of the rats insane votes that have shut down drilling and exploration, it’s the dems that have caused the energy crisis! And the dems should get full blame for high gas prices we’re all paying today.
Note to GOP: Forget Iraq - it’s the gas prices, stoopid!
