Something about the "oil drilling" occurred to me

[zbdent]

You always hear a REPUBLICAN saying that the solution to (just about anything) the "oil crisis" is ANWR ... ANWR!!! ANWR!!! ANWR!!! (think "It's always Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!")

But in 2001, Bush listened to an "environmental activist" who was concerned about the environmental effects of oil drilling on his favorite area ... Jeb Bush talked nasty to his big brother and Gee Dumbya backed off the drilling off the coast of Florida ... because of the "pristine beaches" :eyes: and the hit on the tourism industry ...

So, how come you never hear any Repukes saying we need to drill off the shores of Florida?

1. One wonders. It's been remarked on previously, here in E/E.

2. Because the repukes own the lion share of the properties on the FL coast.

It's always NIMBY with them.
