Reaching out? (none / 0) (#142)

"The Democrats need to reach out these rural voters on the gas issue. "

Democrats are reaching out - to slap them.  The "global warming" bill the senate Democrats wanted last week would have given us higher prices and/or rationing - a brilliant plan.  Democrats talk all day about "dependency on foreign oil", and then kowtow to environmental groups to disallow drilling anywhere in the US (not just ANWR) where we could reduce that dependence by some amount.  

We haven't built a new refinery in the US over the last 20 years due to the same kind of kowtowing.  So sure, Democrats need to "reach out" - but with something other than a face slap.
