This from Sen. DeMint’s blog:

We’ve just been alerted that despite House Democrats relenting on extending bans on offshore drilling and oil shale in the continuing resolution (CR) appropriations bill, Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid has decided to sneak an extension of the oil shale ban through as Congress fights over the financial bailout. Oil shale in America’s West is estimated to hold be between 800 billion and 2 trillion barrels of oil — that is more than three times the proven oil reserves in Saudi Arabia alone.

Dingy Harry just couldn’t resist trying to hamper America’s drive towards energy independence. Why does he like buying oil from the Saudi’s so much? Why does Harry not want America to get off of foreign oil? My guess would be that he caved to the eco-terror lobby that will do anything to keep America from using her vast natural resources.

He caved to hypocrite bastards like Al Gore and his junk science. Al doesn’t give a sh*t how high gas prices go because he can afford to gas up his private jet no matter what.

I guess this is Harry’s alternate way of damaging America since he wasn’t able to make us lose in Iraq.
