A much needed Bill to allow Offshore drilling has been nixed by the democrats.  There is absolutely no reason to keep the United States from drilling off it’s own coast, when other countries are drilling very near it.  Drilling for our own oil is not the best long term solution to this problem, but it will certainly help us in our quest.

If Republicans were smart they would nail the democrats with this issue, but I’m sure they won’t.  This should be put to a national vote as I have no doubt the overwhelming majority of Americans would approve.

Good news that this useless and expensive bill was blocked this morning.

Good news: The Lieberman–Warner eco-boondoggle is set to go down in flames today. But this is no time to rest. While the massive tax hike/green slush fund bill will most likely be shelved, it’ll come back sooner or later. And when it does, keep your eyes on “moderate” Republicans such as John Sununu who will try to appease their red-faced greenie donors and lobbyists by pulling a “for it before I was against it maneuver” this morning a la John Kerry.
