Pascrell Flip Flops on Drilling

Just like the Iraq War and the Bailout, Bill Pascrell has pulled a John Kerry and voted for drilling before voting against it. Here is a recent Bill quote from the record:

"Allowing drilling directly off the Atlantic coast would threaten New Jersey’s beaches … I recently supported what I considered to be a responsible compromise bill to expand leasing opportunities for oil companies 50 to 100 miles offshore. And I did so in light of President Bush’s recent action lifting a 30-year bipartisan ban … If Congress does not strike a deal on this issue, land only three miles off our coast will be vulnerable, so we cannot let that happen."
Ok, Congressman, so are you going to go out in a submarine and find where the oil is? I don't think the Paterson School of Hard Knocks gives us out engineering degrees!

How is this a bad thing? Perhaps he educated himself & realized that more drilling isn't the answer. NJ is polluted enough as it is.
