Thanks.

Sounds good to me.

President Bush sign emergency executive orders:

1. Waive restrictions to drilling in ANWR.

2. Order three permits for new refineries be issued within four weeks.

3. Eliminate all biofuel supplements.

4. Waive summer gas formulas, and order an investigation into the value of the seasonal formulas.

Why aren't you running for President of the U.S.? If I ever know your name, I'll write it in. My liberal neighbor and I were joking about writing in Mickey Mouse for President. We're both disgusted with the nominees (and current leaders).

lol!

“WE got 3 Democrats running for President this year. “

No we don’t. We have a liberal a Socialist and a Marxist running.

Political parties no longer matter. They are just labels.

I heard John McLame on Glenn Beck tonight. Beck asked him about energy policy...ANWR and drilling our coast.

McInsane said he wasn’t for ANWR, but since he was a federalist, he wanted to give “states the option” to allow drilling off their coasts.

McQueeg is for allowing STATES to decide, except if that state is ALASKA.

[Recovering_Democrat]

see my post above, mccain is nuts.

I have a special category reserved for people like McCain.... there are some who don’t know anything and there are those like McCain who don’t even SUSPECT anything. I just cannot imagine John McCain as President.

Big secessionist movement in the late 70s and 90==80s, esp around FAirbanks. I was calling for Alaska to secessed from the US and call itself Alaskastan.

Then we could have gold and copper mines, drill for oil and charge the US billions for the 'rental' on the military bases. Take the dollar at par and we would be ding pretty good.

Or not.....

[panthermom]

I say it would lower the price almost immediately. The fact that the US would be importing less oil would put OPEC’s panties in a wad. Right now they have us by the short hairs and they know it.

” I know he's not that conservative, but compared to Hillary and Obama, he's a Bircher.”
>>>>>.....................
LOL, conservative huh? It's not hillary’s name on McCain Finegold - or did you see Hillary with the gang of 14, or how about - Kennedy and McCain and “comprehensive Immigration reform”..water boarding bring anything to mind?
Gitmo closing on and on..Oh he voted against Bush tax cuts too..gosh how the definition of Conservative has changed now days..gotta laugh the GOP is a joke on us.

[tom paine 2]

The argument that we should continue to buy oil from lunatic societies and put it on ocean ships that routinely sink, instead of drilling in ANWAR and putting the oil in a pipe that has not had any major spills is ludicrous and points out the anti human agenda of the left.

When the Republicans were a majority and tried to open up ANWR for drilling the Democrats would filibuster and prevent the legislation...

[Species8472]

McCain is not very popular here in Alaska. Ron Paul got more votes than he did in the caucuses.

That there's funny, I don't care who you are. Blackbird.

YOu’all’d be speaking Japanese pret’ good about now too!

[ASOC]

Last I checked, the US defeated Japan in 1945, well before Alaska gained Statehood. A lot of real estate dealers from Japan bought property here in the mid 80, when thr market crasked (Thanks the Fed Gov once more) But they left.

Did I miss something?

[muawiyah]

Yes, the part you missed was important ~ AFTER Alaska would get independence it would face potential enemies ~ most likely Japan.
