Environmental irresponsibility is strangling the economy and stupid politicians allow it for votes. Enough! Pick up the phone, call your elected and tell them to fix the gas problem by removing the moratorium on drilling NOW!
Moratoriums are not etched in granite: Moratorium simply means a suspension of activity.
I agree with Pelosi, we should be energy independent,
by drilling for our own oil while developing alternatives and building nuclear power plants as fast as we can.
You can put one in my back yard, baby.
Pelosi and Cantwell shouldn’t be left alone with power tools or anything sharp!
Democrats cause a reduction in the supply of energy and therefore a rise in price. When the impact finally starts to hurt people they blame the greedy oil companies. And none in the MSM ever calls them on it.
I’d bet there is a *lot* of oil off the coast of California.
From time-to-time you’ll hear a news blip about a small oil ‘spill’ that can’t be traced back to a tanker. It’s probably leaking up from the sea floor.
The public needs to be made painfully aware of just how the Democrats have SCREWED America with their decades-long interference in the domestic oil business (production AND refining).
Obstructionist energy policy is nothing short of a cudgel that could be taken up and used to beat the donks bloody between now and November.
Too bad McCain isn’t smart enough to do it. Oh, and I forgot — he embraces 90% of the enviro-whacko crap they spew.
This is just more of the same. VOTE AND CAMPAIGN MONEY PANDERING by the libs, from the “conservationist” base. The libs are destroying the integrity of America for personal empowerment.
Plain and simple.
We ALL know that using corn for oil was a MONSTER OF A MISTAKE. It even defies "COMMON SENSE".
These people are complete idiots. What has been keeping all of these "colleges and universities" from developing alternative fuels thus far? Not a damn thing. So either they are doing, have no interest in doing it or want tax dollars to do it.
It's quite scary these clowns could have complete control of Washington in 2009.
Hello $200, maybe $300 oil. Thing is they won't have Bush to blame for it. They'll still try.
This country is in serious trouble when the next President is sworn in! Does not matter who it is we are in trouble!
There....fixed it!
Deception! We wouldn't have MORE oil to refine. We would be buying less oil from overseas to refine. We would have the same amount at a cheaper price. WHAT A FREAKIN' LIE.
The Soviets and their satellite nations controlled their populace movements thru permission slips to allow someone to go from one town to another. The Dems know they can’t do that, as the American people would not stand for it. Instead they will limit the supply of fuel for such purposes so their hands are clean..........
The MSM *are* Democrats. Why would they?
The real problem is that people seriously consider what the MSM reports to be 1) accurate and 2) relevant. The Russian people figured it out. Why can't we?
I think it's our responsibility to teach people within our circle of influence that the MSM's goal is to teach you what to think about issues of their choosing. First thing you can do is understand that the truth is probably exactly the opposite of any story the MSM reports. Second thing is that what is being reported is not really important, but is what the MSM wants you to focus on.
The little blips that are reported and then vanish are more likely much bigger issues than our typical daily bombardment.
You can't challenge the MSM to change because that leaves control in their hands. They put a Limbag or O'Really out there and you have a new spinmeister to tell you what to believe. Except you *really* believe this one because the MSM makes them appear to be 1) accurate and 2) relevant. You have merely exchanged authorities. You still believe what the MSM serves up.
Trying to make the MSM 'change' is the wrong approach. Recognize them for what they are and don't act on their 'advice'. That's the only way to fight it.
What I find interesting is that the Cubans are working with the Chineses to bring in drill ships or platforms and drill for oil in Cuban waters. Lots of jobs, lots of oil revenue going to the Cubans and Chinese. A few miles away, American companies are not permitted to drill-no jobs for Americans, no tax revenue for the states and federal government.
The Republicans have a winning issue here. Wait! we are talking about the Republican party.
