The highly respected political analyst Michael Barone feels the ground shifting. "Enviro Lunacy" may at last be fading. $4 a gallon for gas puts things in perspective, at least for ordinary Americans.
While the Republicans are demanding an end to the various Democratic moratoriums on drilling, the Democrats, who control Congress, led by their unhold trinity of Pelosi-Obama-Reid, JUST SAY NO to the American people. They clearly have superior insights and know better than you.
Democratic leaders are preventing Congress from voting on continental shelf and ANWR drilling or oil shale development because they fear their side would lose and are making the transparently absurd claim that drilling won't lower the price of oil. They're scampering to say that they would allow drilling somewhere -- mostly in places where the oil companies haven't found any oil.
There is hope.
The time may be coming when our lunatic environmental policies are swept away by a rising tide of common sense.
Can the Democratic Congress' 9% approval rating drop even farther?
"Yes, it can."
