Yet another failed attempt at drilling ANWAR and making us less dependant on terrorist supporting OPEC nations went down in a party line vote.
The republicans puled the bill on a threat of a filibuster.
WHY?
Chit- let the Dems (and their enviro-waco buds) explain why we have to pay more for fuel while not using our own plentiful oil.
They were saying back in the '90s that 'if we started today, it wouldn't be available for ten years.'
Hey, it's been over ten years since thy said that, we sure could use some of that oil now Slick Willy.
Oh, my wager?
But Democrats said an expansion of offshore drilling would do little to reduce Americans' dependence on foreign oil.
"We can't drill our way out of this problem," said Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill. "We can't drill our way to lower gas prices."
I bet my next paycheck against anyone in D.C. that as soon as a drill bit bites into that frozen swamp in Alaska- that the price of crude will drop at least $10 a barrel.
And keep dropping from there.
More if they do something about oil profiteers.
