Offshore drilling is a hugely important factor in the US becoming energy independent - a fact disputed by few sane people. So naturally, every politician who honestly cares about the US shedding the burden of foreign oil, right? Not so with one Colorado Congressman. Mark Udall has consistently voted against offshore drilling:

What did Mark Udall say in an interview on 630am KHOW just this week?
“I have supported targeted off-shore drilling.”
Gee, thanks, Congressman! With friends like you who needs enemies?
15 times the extremist congressman from Boulder has voted against offshore drilling, but he says otherwise. If we can’t believe his voting record and we can’t believe what he says, what can we believe about Mark Udall?
