Why do Dems call for oil reserves, yet deny new drilling?

  I try to avoid ad hominem attacks most of the time because they seem like you've run out of adequate arguments and have decided to just punch somebody in the face in frustration.
  But today I'm going to just punch somebody in the face (figuratively, of course).
  Why on earth does Debbie Wasserman Schulz go on tv with a big old head of wet poodle hair?
 It looks greasy, like you could turn her upside down and wash the floor with her head. Or like she just got out of the shower, looked at her phone and said, "OMG! I forgot I have to get to the studio in 5 minutes!"
  And today she was heavily made up, which only made things worse.
  There are politicians and then there are politicians.
   I've actually known politicians who are not terribly partisan; they have firm points of view, patiently listen to the opinions of others and then reason through why they believe what they do.
  Other politicians like DWS don't even listen to the argument but just unload the same pile of you know what they did last time, regardless of the question and regardless that they're wrong. 
  In the case of DWS, she just drones on and on about The Prince, like a really homely cheerleader who is smitten with the Prom King or something.
  The problem with gas prices seems to be something she's ignoring, claiming it'd take TWENTY YEARS for drilling to lower prices, up from the SEVEN Dems previously claimed. 
  Also taking credit for the number of oil rigs that were commissioned during the Bush years, DWS claimed they were drilling MORE than Bush ever did.
  What I'd like to know is this.
  IF, as you say, DWS, drilling would take too long to alleviate high prices, then why are members of your own party calling for releasing oil reserves? 
  Answer:
  Because everyone KNOWS if this country released some oil reserves (an imprudent measure, btw) prices would fall immediately.
  And, as in the past, everyone KNOWS if we even decided to drill BEFORE ANY DRILLING TOOK PLACE, prices would fall in anticipation of the US becoming energy independent.
  It's obviously not about the ENVIRONMENT globally, since we pay Brazil and other nations to drill for us.
  The truth is that the US is sitting on more oil than any place in the world, more than Saudi Arabia.
  Another truth is that the Obama administration isn't doing anything about high gas prices. In fact, the opposite has been stated. Energy Secretary Chu isn't opposed to $8 a gallon gasoline.
  So DWS today, instead of responding to the question asking why she had mocked Bush when gas prices were high but now claiming Obama has nothing to do with high gas prices, she just danced her fat thighs around the question, never bothering to actually respond.
  Blah blah blah.
  Maybe somebody ought to tell her she's a tool.
  And that there are tools to fix that greasy hair. 
  One is called shampoo.
