Reid: $5-a-gallon gas is no problem Senate majority leader says: 'We will have to wait and see'
Posted: July 24, 2008
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev. WASHINGTON – Asked if he thinks he has the votes to block legislation lifting the moratorium on offshore oil drilling, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said: "We will have to wait and see."
Wait and see? Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi oppose lifting the ban on domestic oil drilling – and they are hoping the American people will just quietly accept gas prices topping $5 a gallon or even higher.
They say the key to lowering the price is conservation.

Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. WASHINGTON – A Democratic senator on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee inadvertently explained why her colleagu
es have no intention of ending the moratorium on offshore oil drilling or increasing the areas open for exploration and production – no matter how popular the idea might be with gas prices soaring.In an interview with Bloomberg TV's "Money and Politics" last night, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., explained Democrats don't want to increase supplies of oil and gasoline because they want to wean Americans off of petroleum products. Asked point-blank if Democrats in the Senate would consider how increasing the supply of oil would lower the prices that are pinching U.S. consumers, Cantwell replied: "Oh, we definitely want to move beyond petroleum.
And so there will be a supply side offered by the Democrats and it will include everything from battery technology to making sure that we have good home domestic supply, and looking, as I said about moving faster on those kind of things like wind and solar that can help us with our high cost of natural gas."
In other words, no.
You tell me Pilgrims --- Arrogance or Ignorance? Or do you still believe these charlatans remember who they work for?
