Oil's at $72 this morning.

Drill ANWR and elect those that support it.

[kinghorse]

no kidding. set a peg and do daily lease auctions of arctic and offshore open to INDEPENDENT DRILLERS and keep at it until market forces and speculators ease the price back below the peg. If the price collapses, subsidize the independents until prices firm up.

Every time you run to the gas station to fill up your tank you're paying a tax to Islam. The current administration has really let us down in this regard. As a matter of national security we should be fighting back in this economic war. The mullahs, Chavez and Putin get richer the more the world worries. So naturally they are cool with pissing everyone off. It lines their pockets with revenue.

His stance on this could very well get Kyl dis-elected. When we hear that we have a glut of oil and the price keeps going up, it's only human to want to punish the oil companies for their excessive profits.

The culture of "no-drill Democrat Gas" = 3 bucks a gallon

Pedersons chance's = snowball in hell:

April 04, 2006 AZ: Rasmussen shows big Kyl lead If anybody considered Arizona a pickup opportunity, scratch it off the list.

Says Rasmussen:

Sen. Jon Kyl (R) - 56% Former State Party Chair Jim Pederson (D) - 33% Pederson's money isn't making this one any more competitive. And with John McCain promising to help out Kyl, you can basically call this one early. Kyl is getting 91% of Republicans, while Pederson only manages 68% of Democrats. Kyl's name recognition is 94%, with 64% having a favorable opinion and 30% unfavorable. Pederson's name recognition is 76% and is split, 38% favorable, 38% unfavorable.

Pederson supports federal anti-price-gouging laws to restrict price spikes, greater antitrust scrutiny of the energy industry and increasing fuel efficiency standards and alternative fuel requirements.

In other words, he's pro-gas-lines.

[Blackirish]

Didn't we just pass a big expensive energy bill?

[Leatherneck_MT]

Rome is smoking (figuratively) and the Politicians continue to fiddle.

Sooner or later someone needs to make a principled stand, write an executive order and bypass all of this BS in the House and Senate.

Then the pols can deal with the exec order later.

[Eska]

Been paying $3.50/gallon here in Eagle since last fall and starting to think I'm getting a deal with the prospect of gas going up. Ironic, when I'm only a couple hundred miles from the slope to boot.

Ah, remember the days when I could fill up that 340 challenger for a few bucks at 18.9/gal. Life was better back then, vietnam, no internet, and all.

[XtreMarine]

In light of increasing gas prices, should Floridians support offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico?

I will use the data as part of my school term paper. Also please tell your friends, especially Floridians to vote.

Thanks Freepers!
