Next time you complain about high gas prices at the pump and blame President Bush look at the following facts.
Congressman Roy Blunt put together these data to highlight the differences between House Republicans and House Democrats on energy policy:
1. Alaskan ANWR Exploration:
House Republicans:91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed
2. Coal-to-Liquid
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 78% Opposed
3. Oil Shale Exploration

4. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration
House Republicans: 81% Supported
House Democrats: 83% Opposed
5. Refinery Increased Capacity

SUMMARY
91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of American-made oil and gas.
86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production of American-made oil and gas.
But the Democrats love to blame those greedy oil companies that have to buy if from the Saudis.
