Bad deal. Better to just let the OCS leasing ban expire on 9/30. What's really obvious from all this is that the LAST THING the Republicans want is a bill passed to allow drilling. It would kill their only winning issue, and they would MUCH rather have the issue than the drilling. Read this from that perspective: But Boortz chastised Chambliss for hurting other Republicans who are trying to win support in tougher races by accusing Democrats of causing high oil prices. "The Republicans had a winning issue — that I think y'all just knocked the props out, from right underneath 'em," Boortz said. Those comments echoed what Limbaugh said to Chambliss on Friday. "Finally, Senator McCain had an issue the Republicans could embarrass (Democratic presidential candidate Barack) Obama with and perhaps ride to victory, because the vast majority of the American people want to do the opposite of what the Democrats do," Limbaugh said. "So nobody can figure out why compromise with the Democrats and cut the knees off of Senator McCain." It's all posturing politics... they could give a shit about drilling. If they cared that much they would have passed something when they had control of the houses before '06. You know that....
