At last, some good old common sense about the foolishness of the Dems talking point, “We can’t drill our way out of this energy crisis.” Charles Krauthammer skewers Democrats whose energy policy is clearly a product of radical environmentalists. His article “No Will To Drill,” published August 8, 2008, follows:
“Let’s see: housing meltdown, credit crunch, [...]

Barack Obama’s recent proposal to give “every working family in America a $1,000 energy rebate” paid for by stealing “part of the record profits” of American oil companies is a stark reminder of just how corrupt the American political process has become.

Now that 87 octane has topped $4.50 across most of the country, more Americans are becoming aware of the economics of energy.

If you are looking for a reason to support redistricting, look no further than Maxine Waters.
