Puckett Campaign Goes After High Gas Prices
Yesterday was a good day if you were one of the 50 or so people who got five gallons of gas free courtesy of the Puckett for Congress campaign. Taking the record high gas prices as an opportunity to let people know that real solutions exist, Luke Puckett and his team pumped gas for South Bend motorists while Puckett talked to drivers about his plans to bring gas prices down.
Unlike the outmoded solutions that Joe Donnelly is talking about, Puckett advocates the removal of regulations that prevent new refineries from being constructed and the opening of domestic oil and natural gas reserves in Alaska, the Gulf Coast, and elsewhere. Recognizing that drilling and refining techniques have been improved, Puckett is ready to push for genuine energy cost relief that reduces our dependency on foreign energy supplies that often come from sources that are at best ambiguous and at worst hostile to the concept of freedom.
The Puckett campaign turned out this little gem to inform folks as to what Joe Donnelly’s energy policy is:
Disclosure: I wrote this piece not because I work for the Puckett campaign but because the Puckett campaign agrees with what many conservatives have been advocating for.

out of curiosity–where did those quotes come from? I didn’t quite understand the footnotes. I find it hard to believe that ANY politician would say things as inflamatory as that…

Those aren’t direct quotes, (note the absence of quotation marks) they are policy summaries of Donnelly’s votes in the cited roll calls. Puckett isn’t the only one saying those things, Heritage Foundation, Republican Conference, NRCC, etc have all given similar analysis of those bills.

oh ok–sorry–the pic was a bit blurry–couldn’t distinguish the asterisks from the quotation marks…
i assume the roll call is the official tally of all the votes (either yay or nay) from specific votes?

You would be correct in that Squidward.
