FACT: Governor Doyle last year tried and failed to impose a tax on oil companies that would have probably been found unconstitutional in the courts or led to even higher gas prices in Wisconsin, passed on to consumers.
FACT: Last week, Doyle blamed oil companies and high gas prices for the demise of GM in Janesville.
FACT: Democrats and environmentalists oppose drilling domestically.
All of that is quite interesting given the results of recent Gallup polls.
1) The percentage of voters blaming oil companies for skyrocketing gasoline prices has declined in the past year.
2) At the same time, support for more drilling in U.S. coastal and wilderness areas has increased to 57 percent from 41 percent.
