What is Wrong with These Ohio Republicans?

Over at RedState, Robert Bluey asked what was wrong with the 52 Republicans that hadn't signed on to the letter opposing the extension of the OCS drilling ban. Among the list cited were Ralph Regula (OH-16), Dave Hobson (OH-07), and Deb Pryce (OH-15).

I suspect that the answer really goes a little something like this, "Say, man, we're like retired already. Leave us alone!" I don't think that is an acceptable answer. Maybe that works for you, but I'd like to think that these Republicans are still capable of earning their paychecks and pensions. I can't say as I have heard anything substantive from any of the three on energy issues...and that is SAD.

As usual, if any of these three wish to correct the record by actually releasing something on the issue I am willing to publish it.

...but I'm not holding my breath...
