It took less than 24 hours forme to be right.<\/p>\n<p>As you recall, my friends, I told you that for over 20 years, liberals have banned exploration and drillingbecause they believe high gas prices are good: high prices force you to drive less and make you angry, and therefore&#8211; in their perverted view&#8211; savethe environment and get them votes. But now they are facing an electorate that is awakening to the hideous consequences of their energy policies. So Democrats did an about-face, allowing the ban on offshore drilling to expire&#8230;all the while planning to reinstate it once the elections are over and they are out of political danger.<\/p>\n<p>Within hours of my prediction, Nancy Pelosi\u2019s second-in-command, Steny Hoyer, acted true to form. He told CNSNews.com that restoring the ban on oil drilling&#8221;will be a top priority for discussion next year,&#8221; if Democrats still control Congress.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why environmental wacko activists are not howling at the moon over next week\u2019s expirationand why Democrats aren\u2019t on the campaign trail defending their quarter-century ban on drilling. They knowif they fool enough of you&#8211; for another few weeks&#8211; into thinking they\u2019ve relented, they can <emphasize>screw you<\/emphasize> again once the elections are over.<\/p>\n<p>Is it cynical? Yeah. Dishonest? Sure. Shameless? Of course! But for Democrats&#8211; the Party of Scam&#8211; it\u2019s just business as usual. You elect them, you deserve them.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: ScamSeptember 26, 2008Watch It!
