Big Dog just keeps on lying

Big Dog just can’t stop lying. It’s habitual with him — possibly pathological:

Oil companies can be pumping oil in 2 to 5 years and we will be well on our way to lower fuel prices.

As usual, the facts are very different.

The opening of the ANWR 1002 Area to oil and natural gas development is projected to increase domestic crude oil production starting in 2018.

It never fails. A wingnut opens his mouth, and a lie comes out.

UPDATE 07/16/08 7:45 AM EDT: Poor Dogmeat contorts himself into a pretzel trying to get out of this one:

Notice that I never made the claim they could be getting oil from ANWR in 2-5 years, just that they can be pumping oil in that amount of time from some of the MANY oil fields that are not in Alaska.

In the original post, Dogmeat made it clear that the drilling he was talking about was drilling in ANWR:

If Bill Clinton had not vetoed drilling in ANWR we would be getting that oil now and the price would not be a problem.

…

President Bush lifted the Executive Order banning drilling [in ANWR—mb] and now the process is being held up by Democrats in Congress.

Piling lie upon lie isn’t going to help Dogmeat’s credibility gap one little bit.

UPDATE 07/16/08 10:35 AM EDT: I stand corrected — the executive order that George W. Bush recently rescinded limited drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf, rather than ANWR. Big Dog’s claim that he was not referring to ANWR with his “2 to 5 years” comment remains, of course, a crock. Note that he does not bother to cite any factual backing for his “2 to 5 years” claim.
