Pelosi Lies to the Public and Encourages Her Toadies to Lie to Get Elected.
We know that liberals are liars and worse so the Pelosi Mandate [No Drilling Anywhere] is only firm if there is any risk of any of her toadies losing the election. He thinking here is: Lie about drilling now and we can fix it after the election.
“But what looks like intraparty tension on the surface is part of an intentional strategy in which Pelosi takes the heat on energy policy, while behind the scenes she’s encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically, according to Democratic aides on and off Capitol Hill.”[1] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes. This link references all quotes in this essay unless otherwise noted. ]
We know that liberals are liars and sleaze bags that have a rabid hunger for new taxes and a psychotic lust for power so this is not expected.
““The reality is we will have a new president in three months, and what Bush and the Republicans are trying to do amounts to a land grab for the oil companies,” said one senior House Democratic aide involved with party strategy. “I don’t think we have to give in at all pre-election — we have many more options postelection.”
Lie now, grunt and grab later.
That fits the average Democrat.
“Indeed, Congress must vote before Sept. 30 to renew the annual [Offshore Oil Drilling] moratorium; otherwise, it will lapse on its own, giving states the right to decide whether private companies can search for potential drilling sites three miles offshore. ”
““There is no crisis on our side of the aisle,” a top House Democratic leadership aide said. “We have a plan, and we will stick to it.”
Sure, if the economy goes down because of cost-push oil costs you can always blame Bush.
Typical liberalism.
