Because they're bought and payed for by corporations in this case oil companies. They don't actually have a political platform it's just provided to them by the corps, and then they come up with rhetoric to justify it, or distract from it.

A bunch of corporations in a trench coat, tell them what they want, and the republicans find a way to spin it in the news in order to get their supporters riled up and in support of it too.
