Dems searching their souls on drilling

[DixieBelle]

In the stages of grief, denial gives way to anger and then to bargaining.

It may be an apt metaphor this week, as Democrats’ long-held opposition to expanded offshore oil drilling succumbs to the political realities of $4-per-gallon gasoline.

Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that Democratic and Republican leaders are negotiating a compromise on energy legislation. Kyl declined to say who’s doing the negotiating or what results, if any, their discussions have yielded.

But Sen. John Warner (R-Va.), a longtime proponent of increased offshore drilling, said he was seeing “a big shift, a big shift in my direction,” and it was hard to find Democrats who disagreed.

“I’m not knee-jerk opposed to anything,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “We’re willing to work. We haven’t shut our minds to anything.”

Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) said he sensed there were enough votes from his Democratic colleagues to expand offshore drilling into new areas — and that the eastern Gulf of Mexico “should be one of the first places we should look.”

I was just about to post this as a separate thread, but nancy pelosi says that 'Drilling in protected areas ‘a hoax’".

“This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

Dare we believe that the light of reality is beginning to seep into the dark place occupied by most democrats?

Nancy baby, while the energy policies President and the Republicans haven't produced a drop in the oil price, it's because you, the rest of your mindless, zombie minions and the RINO collaborators who side with you, have STUDIED, OBSTRUCTED, DELAYED and STONE-WALLED those policies INTO THE ****ING GROUND rather than allow the policies you question to suceed or fail on their own merits.

When they hit that magic number 0%, then do we get to grab the torches and pitchforks and chase 'em all into the ****in' Potomac River?

I think at that point, they have pretty much chased themselves into the potomac river.

running against the "do nothing dem congress" is turning into a more viable campaign issue for mccain
every day.

Let's hope they are putting powder in the petards at McCain Central.

*that sounds a lot dirtier than I meant it to be. Heck, did I even phrase that right? Where's frank?

Searching their souls?!?  Yeah, good luck with that!

So far into the ground, in fact, they should have struck oil by now.

These pecker-heads are terrified that the voters will turn on them in Nov. After all, getting the Magic Negro and Congress critters elected is their main (#1) goal above all others.

Just another election-year ploy to look good on the issues without acutally accomplishing anything.  And their base will eat it up while the media shouts Pelosi's praises from the rooftops.

What a lying, phony little asshole.

"The one thing we fail to talk about is those costs that you don't see on the bottom line. That is coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick; it's global warming. It's ruining our country, it’s ruining our world. We’ve got to stop using fossil fuel.”
