Yep, ban Alaska oil drilling and then spend the next 2, 4, etc. years demagoguing about the price of gas.
This is the issue that has turned my young - 30ish - co-workers from liberal to conservative. They are appalled at the lack of logic. Saying things like, "What do these liberals think will happen if we continue to limit the amount of drilling ...?"
"These" liberals coming from that source is music to my ears. But unfortunately too many 'conservatives' taught everyone else a lesson last November.
Nobody taught anyone a lesson. Conservatives still went out and held their noses for GOP candidates.
Republicans lost due to a variety of factors, none of which include conservatives supposedly staying home. Those who repeat this lie have no proof that they did and are simply masking the GOP's own failures.
In the meantime..east of the our artic border the Canadians are drilling like hell.
I thought they were even "greener" than us.
They are also tearing up a good portion of Alberta for the oil sands.
The DemocRats are stuck on dumb. They are doing everything possible to see that we remain dependent on foreign oil. All the windmills and Pious's won't change that.
