Fundies: "Liberals" block effort to help solve the energy crisis

[marmar]

this is an American Family Association "Action Alert":



Liberals block effort to help solve the energy crisis
President lifts ban, but Reid and Pelosi fight offshore drilling


Tired of paying $4 a gallon for gas? Tired of having liberals in Congress block every move to make us energy sufficient? Then it is time to make your voice heard!

President Bush has lifted an executive order banning the drilling for oil off our coasts. This is something which should have been done 10 years ago. But liberal politicians blocked attempts to do so. Because they succeeded, we are now paying $4 for a gallon of gas.

Drilling in proven oil reserves will not immediately provide more oil. Officials say it will take about 10 years to get the new oil to the market. But here is a fact: Ten years from now we will still have an oil shortage if we again fail to begin solving the problem!

Congress still has a ban on offshore drilling. Congress must lift that ban before drilling can begin. Which leaders in Congress are leading the efforts to keep the ban? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). They want to keep us at the mercy of foreign oil for another 10 years. They are more concerned with playing politics than your paying $4 a gallon for gasoline!

It is time that our “leaders” put our families first! Tell them so!

Take Action

Congress is now beginning to act on this problem. If you have not already done so, enter your ZIP code and click "GO" to e-mail your two U.S. senators and representative. Tell them to lift the ban on off-shore drilling.

Forward this to friends and family and urge them to send an e-mail.

1. Would somebody please kneecap James Dobson?

:banghead: :grr:

[HughMoran]

2. Mentally ill right-wing fanatics tell lies to their gullible roadies

Fucking morans.

[tjwash]

3. Oh yeah, it's those damn environmentalists you know.

:sarcasm:

I mean, jeez, the environmental lobby, that's a REAL powerful one on the beltway. They have at least twice the money of all the oil companies, and have had their hand picked people in power for the last 20 years. :eyes:

Come on...these are people that believe in an invisble cloud being, and take a book that was written thousands of years ago by roman pagans seriously. They can just go and fellate the nearest statue of their hero saint reagan as far as I am concerned . He's the jagoff that got this country sucking on the saudi oil tit to begin with

4. But what if there are gays working on offshore oil platforms?

What if some of the oil pumped from dobson's impassioned insistence goes into a car driven by a librul?? What will I do for material when dobson goes away?

5. Why are they worried? They won't need any oil after they've been raptured

And that's supposed to happpen day now, right? :rofl:

[ProgressiveFool]

9. no kidding - certainly it won't take 10 years for the rapture!

I wonder why they even worry their pointy little heads about oil.

6. Fundie whackjobs are now economy experts?

These pricks are doing everything possible to get the vote out for McSame aren't they? The fucking American Family Association needs to be taxed as a for profit company or even better investigated as an organized crime ring. I'd love to see everybody that collects money from them sent up on RICO charges.

7. They do know it was Idiot-son's father that put the executive ban in place and that it was in 1981

that Congress enacted it, when St. Ronnie was president, right?

8. i'm worried

because even now after 8 years of bush and misery, the RW seems to be more efficient at getting its memes wide distribution...The whole "our gas problems would be over tomorrow if we just drilled offshore" has gotten a lot of traction, because i'm seeing it on TV, and overhearing people on the street repeat it...It's almost like the RW doesn't even have to try hard to get some bullshit myth into everyone's heads...
