Further codifying her position is a section from a Concord Monitor article on gas prices:

“Shaheen, a Democrat, opposes drilling in the Alaskan refuge and the gas tax holiday, saying that both proposals would do little and carry heavy negative consequences.” (Concord Monitor, 5/23/08)

These drilling positions are similar to those she claimed during her failed 2002 campaign. Now in a rematch with Sen. Sununu, Shaheen, shackled by her party’s utter failure to address gas prices, has changed her tune and is hoping no one notices.

The solution to our energy problem is not simply drilling for more oil. There needs to be a comprehensive proposal that explores all solutions and taps Americans’ amazing ingenuity. But Democrats oppose any attempts to debate common sense solutions. From leadership down to candidates, Democrats are doing a lot of talking, but little of anything else.

Democrats in power are doing everything in their power to thwart an open debate on solving our energy crisis, while Democrat candidates are attempting to convince voters they will have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to their liberal leadership. While all this is happening, Americans’ wallets are squeezed as prices on just about everything rise.

This Fall when you go to the polls, the choice is clear; the choice is Republican.
