We don't have any leaders in this country, they have all sold us out.You know that sinking feeling you sometimes get when you see the ugly truth that you've been fending off and don't want to acknowledge?
I just had that feeling.

There has been one well drilled in what is ANWR but ostensibly is part of Indian Land and the results from the study done in the late 80's are still confidential. However extensive 3D studies have been done in the areas surrounding ANWR more recently that give rise to the possibility that ANWR is a source for oil that is many times greater original estimates:
OIL

“Wonder how our beloved presidential nominee voted?”
Yes, I just wonder how McGore voted. Probably with his bestest buddies in the Senate. If he even had the ba!!s to show up.

To make FALCON and the American Independent Party work, resources will need to be pooled. Have any contacts between the two nascent organizations been made, maybe about a possible merger of the two?

For the next 6 to nine months, we will be collecting names of volunteers and allies. We have been contacted by the Patriot Party already, and will certainly reach out to others that are forming as we speak. By next year, we should have a good idea who is organizing the best, who is still in the game, and how to come up with a strategy to pool our talents.

Cool! What's really needed too is a couple of hard core, relatively-well known Conservative political leaders to get on board with FALCON and help get an honest-to-goodness viable organization (with structure) up and running. It'd be nice if Hunter got on board after he left Congress and became a spokeman for the potentially new Conservative party. Probably a pipe dream though.
Man, I wish he was the nominee instead of that sick, bitter old RINO we're now stuck with.

I’m still planning on contacting Mr. Hunter. He will be unemployed next year.

I don't think Martinez will run for re-election. Unless he changes parties.
Tommie Franks for Senator!

I guess McQueeg was too busy preaching about global warming to be bothered to go to DC to vote. What a turd.

Your right, McCain is probably cheering for what happened. He is right with the Dems on this.

My my, doesn’t matter whether this man speaks or not. He proves himself to be a lib no matter what he does!
The truth cannot be hidden. It ALWAYS rears it’s beautiful head.

The McCain platform: High energy costs and lots and lots of illegal immigrants. He says he’s tough on security but he condones a slow-motion invasion across our borders.

We can only hope that McCain selects a real conservative as his VP. After all McCain is getting real old and his likelihood of not making it through a full term, much less a second, is pretty good. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wish him dead, just that when he does pass he does not screw his party one last time by leaving another RHINO to be president.

The price of gas does not effect these guys. I don’t think anything will happen until about ten or so million of us march on Washington and shut it down. If they are not going to pass anything to help out the country than it would be better to let them do nothing at all.

If they are not going to pass anything to help out the country than it would be better to let them do nothing at all. Sad but true. The only bit they care is to the extent that people affected vote. They don't want to really fix the problem, but want to make us think they are fixing it. So goes with the BS today about the SPR cutoff. So now that won't even help a bit. There are only two ways out of this:
1) Drill domestically and build new refineries.
2) Negotiate a supply increase with Mexico to break the OPEC cartel. They owe us for taking their riff-raff into our country for so many years.

I want them to drill in the Colorado/Wyoming/Utah area. Much, much more oil than Alaska.
To: StormEye
I agree. I even voted for Ford.
But as you said, the more I hear about John McCain, the less I want to vote for him. Every time I try to 'warm' to him--he says something that turns me off.
This will be the first election ever--that I will not vote Republican.
