It is Time to Take Names and Kick You-Know-Whats

I believe the Political Party that can give good solutions to the most important problems we face would be a big winner in the upcoming elections. Republicans have lost the majority of seats in the House because it seems to be on the wrong side of the issues with the majority of Americans. But are they? Regarding the energy crisis, here is how the House sees the oil production issues. Republican Congressman Roy Blunt compiled the statistics. Powerline brings it to our attention.

ANWR Exploration
House Republicans: 91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Coal-to-Liquid
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 78% Opposed

Oil Shale Exploration
House Republicans: 90% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration
House Republicans: 81% Supported
House Democrats: 83% Opposed

Refinery Increased Capacity
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 96% Opposed

SUMMARY

91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of American-made oil and gas.

86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production of American-made oil and gas.

Now I may not be a smart guy, but if Republicans running for election in their district wanted to campaign to win, they wouldn’t need yard signs, TV spots, or anything else. Just get a diligent crew to stand at gas stations and hand out fliers making people aware of the above statistics. The flier wouldn’t have to say too much. The whirring numbers at the pump would fill in all the blanks.
