Poll Shocker: Americans dislike high gas prices, and favor drilling for oil
The new direction Pelosi and the Democrats have chosen for us appears to be a more expensive one as fuel prices continue their spike, along with higher prices on everything else.
And their answer? Nothing. Not a single realistic proposal, just platitudes about impractical solutions and obstructionism of the obvious ones.
And American is getting tired of it.
Confirmation at last that the “pristine” wilderness is looking a lot less pristine these days than it used to. Note that the swing towards expanded exploration in general is even more dramatic, to the point of a near-majority. Couple that with 52% of the public laughing at Harry Reid’s hyperventilation about sickness from oil and coal and Maverick’s got a gimme. Assuming, of course, he’s not too stupid to take it.
Follow the first link up top and scroll down to see which two groups have swung most sharply towards increased exploration since February. Exit question: How likely is this issue to shift votes, really? If gas prices get much worse, Obama will simply do what Obama does and flip-flop merrily towards the middle.
So there ya go Democrats. Your mandate to get off your lazy arses and do something, you know, like you keep promising?
Or is this really the New Direction you want us to go?
Frankly I think it is. The democrats like higher priced oil, it fits their mantra of forcing people to mass transit, scaring them about Global Warming and all that. If they cannot GUILT us into using less oil, they will damn sure make it so we can’t afford it.
For our own good…of course. Not that it affects them in their Limos and SUVs.
