Drill, baby, drill.
Republicans have appointed Washington's Doc Hastings as chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee. That will make Hastings a key voice shaping federal policies on oil and gas drilling on public lands and offshore waters, mining, wildlife, fisheries, national parks and Native American affairs.
In 2009 Hastings received a score of zero from the League of Conservation Voters and has a lifetime rating of 96 from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Seriously? WTF.
Not a surprise considering the energy industry topped Hastings' list of contributors in 2010... This guy has not one conservationist bone in his body. Get ready, fellas - all the really, really bad environmental legislation and business regulation repeal efforts your Mom warned you about are on the way... (I mean, I would welcome Don Young again!)
Really people, come on...
I like Doc, I think he does a good job.
That's people get when they let the Republicans in.......Good Job America! idiots
