HOUSE Republican Leader John Boehner

“The Democrats’ Oil-Drilling Flimflam: Betting the Public Is Too Dumb to Catch On”

FamilySecurityMatters.org has a noteworthy piece entitled “The Democrats’ Oil-Drilling Flimflam: Betting the Public Is Too Dumb to Catch On,” from Joel Himelfarb today.  Excerpts are below:

 “The mantra from Barack Obama and congressional Democrat leaders is that they represent ‘change’ - and when it comes to gas prices, they certainly have a point. The cost to heat and air-condition American homes is certainly ‘changing’ in very negative ways for the American consumer, as is the cost of getting to work or taking a trip with the family.” …

“House and Senate Republicans appear to have found their voice on the energy issue: contrasting their efforts to support offshore oil drilling and exploration in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) with the Democrat leadership’s efforts to block it at every turn. House Minority Leader John Boehner and Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell have spent the past two months doing everything possible to show the link between the Democrat leadership’s intransigent opposition to drilling and the crushing burden of higher energy prices the American people. While discussing weighty matters like primates, soccer teams and the like, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and their allies have dedicated themselves to preventing Congress from voting on efforts to expand energy supplies.”

   To Rep McHugh and who ever would listen:
   Perhaps making the” New York Times Best Seller’s List” is more important than the “American People?”

   Perhaps Economic Stability and National Security are not as important as a New York Times “BEST SELLER.”

   Could this action or should I say inaction best describe the lack of concern and empathy for the American Blight with regard to our economic future and the welfare of American Families and American Business?
