McFlipflop: McCain Reverses Stand on Offshore Drilling in Just 18 Days

[DogPoundPup]

It’s not just a flipflop, in his later statement on offshore drilling, which is presented first in the video,

John McCain is lying:

John McCain, June 16, 2008: Providing additional incentives for states to permit exploration off their coasts would be very helpful in the short term in resolving our energy crisis.

John McCain, May 29, 2008: But I also have to tell you that with those resources, which would take years to develop, it would only postpone or temporarily relieve our dependency on fossil fuels.

McCain’s statement in May is correct, and it is proof that, 18 days later, he went before voters, with cameras rolling, and lied.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), it would take five years to get production started off shore, and in the offshore drills would increase domestic supply by 7 percent — in 22 years. The EIA describes the effect of offshore drilling, in both the short term and the long term, as “insignificant.”
