Video: Dems Won’t Drill Even at $10 Per Gallon

July 31st, 2008 admin

Ed Morrissey:

Republicans should use a very simple message. We have enough oil to satisfy American needs for at least the next 100 years, but Democrats won’t let you have it. They’d rather you pay $10 per gallon at the pump and watch food prices increase 250% rather than agree to drilling. If you don’t want $10 per gallon gas, vote Republican.

Amen, this should be a campaign ad, and this issue should be driven home to the American people who by a huge majority support offshore drilling. Perhaps we can highlight Obama’s stupidity on the issue of properly inflated tires.

But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling - if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You’d actually save just as much!
