Two can play that game
Randy Kuhl has spent a lot of time trying to blame our nation’s energy woes on the Democratic Congress. He’s indicated that he believes that “There won’t be any children, there won’t be any United States” unless we expand drilling soon.
Massa has turned the tables on Kuhl, blaming him for the closing of a local company:
Democrat Eric Massa has blamed U.S. Rep. Randy Kuhl, R-Hammondsport, for the closing of a trucking company that had operated out of Farmington and Chesterton, Ind.
More than 1,000 employees across the country lost their jobs Friday when Priority Transportation, which had offices on Collett Road in Farmington, closed its doors.

[Chief Executive Officer] cited “continued high fuel prices, weak freight demand and escalating operating costs, as well as tight credit markets” as reasons for the closing.
“Regrettably, it was more politics as usual from Rep. Kuhl,” said Massa in a statement on Friday. “On July 24 of this year, Randy Kuhl voted against the ‘use it or lose it’ Consumer Energy Supply Act of 2008, which would have released 10 percent of the strategic oil reserve for consumer use. This would have lowered and stabilized gas prices within a matter of weeks.”
Rep. Kuhl refused to help families and American businesses struggling to afford high gas prices and now 100 hard-working Americans have lost their jobs in our district,” Massa added, referring to the closing of the Farmington company.
