hypocrites

The republicans are pulling this stunt now to get the off-shore drilling started. I just listened to Gresham's interview on shotline... (he said the word America so much as part of his propaganda it was insulting to anything thinking person) The only reason they are for this stunt is because it more land to Big Oil when they already aren't drilling on millions and millions of acres because "they don't have enough rigs"

They have fillabustered or defeated 3 prior bills the dems have preposed because they were not favorable to BIG OIL. (They blocked on to roll back tax breaks to BigO, repub's blocked wind, solar energy investments, they blocked limits on speculators, they also blocked requirements that oil drilled for in the US be used in the US)

By a narrow margin, the Senate today failed again to block a Republican-led filibuster on an energy bill as GOP leaders made a stand against a $21.8 billion, 10-year tax package that would have extended incentives for wind and solar energy and reduced some tax breaks for oil companies.



Wake up world, see this for what it really is... a PR stunt.
