Pajamas Putziness.



The wingnuts' favorite classicist, making shit up as usual:
Voters also worry that their voracious oil appetite enriches lunatic regimes in the Middle East that will use the trillions of dollars they did not earn for nefarious purposes. We know that paying such a huge import bill weakens our fiscal health while warping US foreign policy. Yet Americans don’t want some massive government Manhattan project— just common sense compromises that will reduce our daily appetite for foreign oil enough to bring down the world price. They want us to open up Anwar’s 2,000 acres in a multi-million acre Alaska for safe drilling.
Actually they don't:

Question: Should oil drilling be allowed in America’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

53% -- Do Not Allow Oil Drilling
38% -- Allow Oil Drilling

And more recently:

.

"Currently, drilling for oil and natural gas is prohibited in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Do you approve or disapprove of the proposal to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska for oil and natural gas drilling?"
