This one is going to be short and to the point. Let’s see, Health Care: Americans overwhelmingly did NOT support the Democratic plan, yet it passed. Immigration: Currently more than 60% of Arizonans support the immigration bill recently passed, and more than 50% of Americans nationwide support the bill, yet nearly all Democrats call it a racist and discriminatory bill. And finally, offshore drilling: In light of the recent tragic Gulf of Mexico event, the Democrats (including some idiotic Repubs) want to ban or NOT continue to consider offshore drilling considerations, yet a majority of Americans continue to support offshore drilling despite the recent tragedy. Let’s go back to 1989 and the Exxon Valdez accident. It was a horrific event and did a lot of damage, but here we are 21 years later and Valdez pulls out about 700,000 barrels a day and the area is even more pristine that it was in ’89. Even though there are still “oil pits” in areas of the bay, the rate of diminishing oil is around 4% a year, that doesn’t sound like a lot, but given the technology of then and now, there is a much greater chance of near total clean up for the Gulf accident; however, it should not be surprising of this sudden outcry against the oil industry. It is typical of the Democrats to make knee jerk decisions and this is one of them. So, if we ban offshore drilling, and of course let us not forget they want to discontinue or limit coal mining as well, what are we going to do? It sounds like we will become more dependent on “haters of the US” to me. Energy is not just going to show up. We are years away from battery, wind, nuclear and efficient solar power, and yet they (Democrats) want to consider the preposterous notion of limiting offshore contracts now. Wow, that sounds rational. Have fun with $5-6 gallon gasoline.
Well, it sounds pretty simple to me, the Democratic Party does NOT sound like a party of or for the people. November should be simple folks, it’s just a matter of showing up, punching the lever and depositing these “ignorers of the people” where they belong, unemployed as senators and representatives for the US Congress
