The League of Conservation Voters put Dole on the list today because of what political director Tony Massaro calls her poor voting record on environmental issues and the fact that she’s in a close race with Democrat Kay Hagan.

“Senator Dole’s record proves that she’s working in the best interests of Exxon/Mobil, not the people of Raliegh/Durham,” political director Tony Massaro said in a statement. “For Chevron, not the people of Charlotte. For the lobbyists of big oil, not the people of small town North Carolina.”

Is this jackass serious?  Does he really think this is going to have any legs when we’ve got $4 per gallon gas out there?  The majority of people want offshore drilling and some rinky dink extremist environmentalist group isn’t going to change their minds.

If the League of Conservation Voters are so concerned about ties to “big oil” they ought to ask Hagan about the thousands of dollars she and her husband have invested in oil companies.
