Or will they do like they did this time and say it was the republicans fault?
sometimes people take credit for things that maybe they had an effect on, and maybe they didn’t. But over the last couple of years, one of the things we have been doing is we have tried to provide for drilling [...]
When Bush lifted the Presidential ban on offshore drilling on July 14th, oil and gas prices immediately fell as a direct result.
Bush asked Congress to follow suit by lifting the Congressional ban on offshore drilling which would lower gas prices even more.
Is the Democrats dislike for Bush greater than their desire to service the need [...]

WASHINGTON (June 18) — With gasoline topping a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift its long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, saying the United States needs to increase its energy production. Democrats quickly rejected the idea.
"There is no excuse for delay," the president said [...]
Since 1982, oil exploration has been banned offshore of the United States. At the time, the Republican Congress enacted an environmental moratorium against offshore drilling for oil and gas. In 1990, the year after the Exxon Valdez oil tanker disaster, US President George H.W. Bush signed an executive order creating a second, presidential moratorium.
Also, Bush’s [...]
WASHINGTON – House Republicans on Thursday scuttled a bill that Democrats hoped would help lower gasoline prices by forcing the Energy Department to release 70 million barrels of oil — about a three-day supply — from the national stockpile.

Democrats like to attack evil American oil companies and block them from drilling the energy deposits off our coasts. It doesn’t seem to bother Democrats that China and Cuba are finalizing plans to drill for oil in these same areas 50 miles from Key West.
Pelosi in her weekly press conference called drilling a "Republican hoax."

Because the Democrats do not allow offshore drilling. Bill Clinton refused to sign a bill to allow offshore drilling in the 90’s. Again, today, the democrats are not allowing it.
And yes, US has lots of oil.
Their usual answer is that we have to protect our environment and wildlife. So, it is OK to use [...]

The dems tried to pass a "windfall" profit tax earlier this week.
Do the democrats have any clue over what to do about the price of gas? Did jimmy "peanut brain" carter?
It is apparent that they want low supply. At the same time, the goons blame Oil companies and speculators when the LIBS are the problem!
When do presidents drill for oil? LOL!!
Who protests and obstructs oil drilling? DEMOCRATS
Democrats, protesting drilling for 20 years, and pointing fingers!
Bush has tried to open up [...]
Democrats say high price oil is not a supply and demand issue, so drilling is not necessary. Yet they want to release 70 million barrels of emergency reserve to help prices come down. Isn’t this a contradiction?
Do a simple search on oil drilling, and you’ll find oil protesting democrats! ANWR, California, Colorado, Florida, etc…
Can we please give these liberals a pill to combat their mental disorder?
OR, HAVE THE LIBERALS FOUND A TREE THAT GROWS OIL?
Should we give the Democrats a free pass yet again for their obstructive activities?

The Democrat-led Congress promised that if elected 2 years ago they would lower the price of gas. Since their election the price of gas has doubled! NOW they won’t allow new drilling in the US which would substantially lower the price of gasoline at the pump. Alternative fuel is fine but the vast majority of [...]

If we remove Nancy Pelosi and most of the Democrats in the Congress and vote McCain… will we be able to get some oil at the Gulf?
