Since seeing him approve of oil-drilling in the everglades (our water source) I will not vote for him on that alone. I’ll take the bus first. And I do think he’s not ambitious enough to be Pres.. And no executive experience makes me question his ability.
I will take an oil driller over a religious zealot, a gun-grabbing homo-apologist abortionist or a crazy man any day of the week.
Since seeing him approve of oil-drilling in the everglades ...Bullcrap.
I lived in Kansas for 16 years directly across the road from a working oil well, as do tens of thousands of others in OK, KS, TX, LA, and other places. Those folks do not have three eyes, cancerous growths on their butts, or any other unusual health problems. Drilling for oil in the Everglades won’t hurt you. Anything they spill will probably be better than the composted alligator crap that they pump out and treat for you to drink now. Same advice I will give to anybody else who doesn’t want to drill somewhere because of “environmental concerns.”

Well, he didn’t approve of it, but I do. As long as it’s in YOUR frontyard.
Ummm - putting a little spin on what he actually said, are we???
What he SAID was: "... Fred Thompson met with Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in Tallahassee this morning and said he wouldn’t rule out drilling for oil in the Everglades.
“Gosh, no one has told me there is any major reserves in the Everglades,” the former Tennessee senator said when asked about the issue. “Maybe that’s one of the things I have to learn while I’m down here.”
He continued, saying "I'm not going to start out by taking this, that or the other off the table in terms of our overall energy situation."
In other words, he'd take a look at the issue before jumping into a politically expedient answer. But, do you have all the great information on the BIG oil reserves in the Everglades???
Seems more like to me that either the reporter asked about something he was ignorant of in the first place (an ignorant reporter? nah, that can't be) - or it's just another one of those set-up questions to deliberately catch the candidate off guard - like the ridiculous question they sprung on Bush was back when about naming some ambassador to some podunk country.
Have fun with the spin - we know better
“Since seeing him approve of oil-drilling in the everglades......I will not vote for him on that alone”.
Well, I wouldn’t vote for anyone who opposes drilling here in the U.S. to help achieve energy independence from the Ragheads.
Oil drilling has not hurt anyone in Texas, Oklahoma or Louisiana. In fact, it is the best thing that ever happened to offshore fishing in Texas by the drilling structures creating new fish Habitat. Go out in the Gulf and guess where you’ll find the fishing boats. You got it. Right next to the drilling rigs.
I personally think that states like Fla. and California which prohibit drilling should be prohibited from using gasoline created from our oil.
