MUSGRAVE IS RIGHT
ABOUT DRILLING
Judging from the initial flood of letters to the editor aimed at unseating 4th District Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, maybe the attacks by her adversaries will rise above the sewer this time around proving they are indeed intelligent enough to engage in rhetoric without using dog excrement for emphasis. Let’s hope so.
Musgrave is on the right side of the oil-drilling issue and a separate poll shows 67 percent of Coloradans agree. But that probably won’t stop Colorado’s liberal cabal of the two Salazars, Udall, DeGette and Ritter from trying to stifle all of our state’s fossil fuel development to please their special-interest groups who have taken over the government, while we ordinary citizens and the state’s economy are second thoughts.
As for Musgrave’s new opponent, she may or may not be qualified. What is relevant is that it makes no sense to seat more Democrats in a Congress whose crowning achievement during its two-year term was proposing over 1,900 resolutions. That shows you how much they care about the price of gasoline.
No wonder Musgrave and her fellow Republicans were unable to summon Speaker Pelosi back from her vacation so the House could consider relaxing oil-drilling restrictions to smooth the transition between oil and yet-to-be developed energy.

Acting on all of those resolutions had simply worn her out.
I’m voting for Musgrave.
