bigjnsa500's Journal: More oil in the news

Here is more news that will probably make it into the liberal media outlets.

A large contributor to the GOP from New Mexico was just granted restricted use for drilling rights in Otero Mesa, New Mexico.

The contributor has links to Dick Cheney (oh great, here we go again) and The Bureau of Land Management "surrendered to the demands of one oil company and the political power of the name to which it was connected," the Campaign to Protect America's Lands said Thursday in contrasting the Bush administration's plan for Otero Mesa with the Clinton administration's.

The other side said, "a special interest fund-raising group that focuses exclusively on partisan misinformation." Among its supporters is Eric Schaeffer, who resigned from the Environmental Protection Agency, contending the Bush White House was undermining anti-pollution efforts at power plants that violate clean air laws.
