Frackin' Fightin'

Democrats in Pennsylvania are tussling over job creation. Apparently the green ones don't like jobs. No surprise there.

An internal party disagreement over fracking is bubbling up and pitting the Pennsylvania Democratic state committee against many of its own elected officials – and possibly even President Barack Obama.

Battle lines were drawn in June when the state committee passed a resolution calling for a moratorium on fracking until health and environmental concerns in the state are more clearly addressed. Though the resolution was little more than a position statement, debate over it was intense and emotional.

The push for the resolution came from environmentalists in the southeastern part of the state, moratorium opponents said, while many of the state committee members who argued against the resolution were from the fracking region.

Cliffs Notes version: the Dems in Penn are tearing big chunks of flesh off each other, and that's a good thing.

P.S. - All that fracking in one article, and I managed to avoid making a single frakking Battlestar Galactica joke! Oh wait...

Frak.
