The AP linked is “Senate says halt oil shipments to gov’t reserve” ????????
I wonder what McCain's vote was on this. I bet I can guess.
how about a link that points in the right direction?
42 Democratic Senators just voted for higher gasoline prices.
Naturally. Toilet based Senate.
Maybe, just maybe, you should have considered this when you were in charge Mitch. You are on a fools errand now, but you knew that. Blackbird.
We could get at least a million barrels a day out of ANWR.
At 100 a barrel, that’s 365 BILLION dollars a year into our economy. 365 BILLION dollars that we don’t have to send overseas to pay for oil. 365 BILLION less in trade deficit.
That’s more than the cost of the war for a year.
That’s about the original cost of the prescription drug plan.
That’s a huge amount of money to be passing up.
There’s another million barrels a day to be had in offshore drilling. States who want to drill offshore should be allowed to do so.
Opening up ANWR to oil drilling is in America’s best interests and part of the long term answer to solving our dependency on foreign oil.
Opposing drilling in ANWR -— along with more drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and off the west coast is crazy policy.
We’re being doomed to 3rd world status by these do-nothing creeps who are under the spell of the enviro-wackos and political correctness. Over 50% of members of congress should be unceremoniuosly kicked out for gross incompetence and failing to address the needs of our country.
I highly suspect McCain voted against it seeing how he’s on the record for saying he doesn’t consider Anwar a long term solution to our oil needs, and he also holds Anwar akin to The Grand Canyon. To be untouched and pristine.
I’d lay money down on him being one of the crossover Republicans that voted against it.
God willing, one day we’ll take this country back from the socialist/marxist thieves that run Congress. One day there was a Boston Tea Party.
Defeated energy production in the middle of an energy crisis. They will destroy us. We will destroy us.
This is just the beginning. If Congress is willing to surrender common sense as well as our economy, President Barak Hussein Obama ought to just about finish us off. “Lawd don’cha feel the change.”
Now they should beat the Dems over the head with it!
Time for the pitchforks and torches.
I didn't hear Rush's source of his quote.
Does anyone have the source?
I want to put this on a few dozen blogs.
How and why Illinois puts up with this fool is beyond me.
G**, this pisses me off. The D’rats have been blocking drilling for all 7 of bushes years and the problem isn’t going to fix itself.
Republicans should be screaming in public every day!!
They didn’t get it done while they were in the majority, why think there was a serious hope of this passing now? It was an attempt to score political points, like so many bills. McLame wasn’t smart enough to vote for it, so he shares in any blame.
If this had passed, do you really think it would have resulted in lower oil/gas prices, now or later? But I’ll bet it’s failure will be used as another excuse for prices to go up.
The vast majority on both sides of the aisle are driven by self-interest and preserving the status quo, party affiliation is just a mask.
