Yes, it’s very interesting that the Dhimmi’s keep telling us that additional drilling won’t affect the price at the pump except of course when they talk about releasing oil from the Federal oil reserve or when they talk about the Saudi’s ratcheting up their oil supply. However, it is very telling that the Dhimmi’s won’t allow for a vote on drilling (Outer Shelf or deep sea) no matter what the cost of a gallon of gas.

From The Corner:

No pasaran! [Iain Murray]

An email from the Hill:

Today Sen. McConnell offered several Unanimous Consent requests to lift the ban on deep-sea exploration. Democrats objected.

But it got worse!

He asked if Democrats would allow increased deep-sea exploration if the price of gas reached a national average of $4.50. Democrats objected.

He asked if Democrats would allow increased deep-sea exploration if the price of gas reached a national average of $5.00. Democrats objected.

He asked if Democrats would allow increased deep-sea exploration if the price of gas reached a national average of $7.50. Democrats objected.
He asked if Democrats would allow increased deep-sea exploration if the price of gas reached a national average of $10.00. Democrats objected.

The designated objector was Sen. Salazar of Colorado, for those who are interested.
