Drilling in Anwar was voted down by McCain.
I like toast.
He has become an extreme global warming nutcase.
Lets not forget Amnesty.
That’s the deal breaker.
We cannot afford another 4 years of Bush on immigration.
We will have no country and no culture left by then.
The Hits Just Keep On Coming!
If McCain becomes nominee of the party I will vote Democrat because McCain has hurt the conservative movement more than any other Republican. Can you image what liberals ideas would become law if he became president? At least Hillary would have the Republicans in congress fighting her and not making McCain legislation go though which could kill the conservative movement for decades.
I’m a radical conservative but if McCain wins say goodbye to the Conservative movement for decades. Plus the politicians who back that phony would increase.
Also I would rather fight My enemies than Republicans.

I hear That Juan likes a nice strawberry bombe!
(Yes, I know that Dessert has two esses. I just had to pun. Sorry.)
Nothing about McCain surprises me.
I still laugh every time Rush does the McCain growl...”Hey Limbaugh, let me tell you...”
Juan McCain.........LMAO !!
Keeper !
This guy is nuts. Does anyone here know anyone who would vote for this idiot?
SeaWolf: “The part where the oil is is flat as a billiard table and far from pristine.”
It really doesn’t matter whether it’s pristine or not. Drilling is an engineering problem. If the area is pristine, practical steps can be taken to greatly reduce damage and restore areas after the oil is removed. Anyone who dislikes $3 gas needs to understand a lot of our problems are self induced. We make it virtually impossible to build nuclear plants or refineries, we want to eliminate all coal burning plants because of global warming hysteria, and we put large areas of the US off limits for drilling.
There’s a very good reason why alternate forms of energy, like solar, wind, or ethanol aren’t popular without government subsidies. Ethanol is a poor substitute for oil and solar and wind energy production are very, very expensive. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look into taking your home off the grid. Just email a wind or solar power company and find out how much it would cost to go “green.” You’ll find it takes a LOT of green to be green.
this must be one of mccain’s well informed ideas for strengthening the economy and reducing dependence on foreign oil. /sarc
to be fair, mccain does support nuclear energy

I am really beginning to like this guy.
To me this is just another example of pandering and refusing to exercise leadership. We do face a long-term energy problem but instead of developing Anwar, nuclear energy (France gets 75% of its energy from nuclear sources), clean-burning anthrocite coal, and other such sources we are held hostage to extreme environmental acxtivists and the naive proponents of “alternative” energy sources. While conservation is important we’re deluding ourselves if think that this alone will ever make us energy self-sufficient. Real political leadership is educating the public about the real choices we will be forced to make in the near future - not pandering to popular and trendy notions.
I have no doubt that it is pristine, since this just means in its original condition or untouched and I can't imagine why anyone would want to go there except to drill for oil.
But pristine does not necessarily mean worth preserving, or we never should touch anything on this earth.
That’s not completely true.
