THE GASOLINE AGIT-PROP WARS

The conservatives are often misinformed about the basic facts of oil drilling and that causes them to adopt extreme positions. On this POLITICO thread about off-shore drilling permits, these rubes apparently believe the following false claims:

-There is a COMPLETE ban on off-shore drilling, not just deep-water drilling
-There was an injunction issued by a Federal judge prohibiting the implementation of HCR
-Lifting the ban will have an immediate effect on gasoline prices
