Beware a Wolf in Dumb Clothing

Democrats in Congress are pushing graciously allowing Republicans to offer bills in the House that push for more drilling.

The catch? Guess who gets to keep the money?

That there is some fine reporting from my typically-Republican-leaning hometown newspaper.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*States would not get a share of an estimated $2.6 trillion in royalties from offshore drilling under a plan backed by House Democrats. Critics say states would likely block drilling without a stake in the profits.

And, this gives the Dims a perfect out. If you don't support their proposal, then you are against drilling. This is how they roll. And, I bet you everything, the Repubs will NOT go to the press and tell the truth about this ploy and will allow the Dims to cast them as anti-energy.

Once again, Repubs will go down in flames and whine that they tried while doing nothing.
