The House Resources Committee, chaired by Rep. Richard W. Pombo (R-Calif.), led the way last week, posting a spirited attack against Kerry's comment disparaging oil: "That black stuff is hurting us." resourcescommittee.house.gov Members "found the senator's comment absurd," Pombo says on the Web. "John Kerry is dead wrong. Oil doesn't hurt Americans: John Kerry's anti-energy policies hurt Americans." Subcommittee Chairwoman Barbara Cubin (R-Wyo.), picking up on the nonpartisan theme, said: "If John Kerry spent as much time on the job he was elected to do as he does on the campaign trail, he might have noticed the recent resources committee hearing" showing American job losses because of reliance on foreign energy. "The American people deserve a president who isn't a hostage to the radical environmental movement," she said. President Bush clearly is not. "Even the Clinton Administration would find fault with Sen. Kerry's comments," the Web site says. And finally, there's a quote from Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt that Kerry "time and time again voted against increased oil exploration."
