As gas prices continue to increase, Congress continues to blame others while ignoring practical steps to stop the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. To lower gasoline prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, we need real solutions to our energy challenges.

Democrats have a voting record of blocking access to this oil and the oil off the coasts of California, Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean and elsewhere. Democrats continue to block access to this oil which oil compoanies say that they want to get to. Democarts have a voting record of even blocking new refineries from being built.
We can tap this oil while we develop new energy alternatives. There is enough oil in these locations to last the U.S. more than 100 years.
Something else to do:
Put a link to this petition at various places all over the internet.
Tyranny: when people have to beg government for permission to do something government has no business regulating in the first place.
Hey! I’m not any good at designing things to post, but shouldn’t all the pro-drilling folks be lining up a great bumper sticker for this fall’s campaign - something like “Prevent Oil Drilling - Vote Democratic!” or perhaps “Keep Our Oil underground - vote Democratic!???
“NO! to oil, nuclear or wind energy - vote Democratic.”
They don’t seem just right, however. We need to let the folks know that the Democrats have been stopping all bills which allow new drilling and/r other alternative energy sources to take place.
Any imaginative freepers out there?
Get on this campaign fast. I just had lunch with a Democrat who is hoping we can bring back gas lines to limit consumption!!!
According to some, the politicians are in cahoots with the oil companies in a dog and pony show to (1) raise taxes on the oil companies so that the (2) oil companies have a cover for moving offshore like Halliburton. Any truth to that?
Oh, the evil Halliburton comes up.
Sounds like a DUmmy, Kos Kids, HuffPo conspiracy theory.
That is probably the “some” that you are referring to.
“Hate $4 gasoline?”
“Just wait.”
“When it goes to $6.50, $4 is going to look CHEAP!”
And only chumps are cheap. Vote Democrat ‘08 < /sarcasm >
Why on earth would they need “cover” to move offshore? Are we going to stop buying gas and using electricity?
It doesn’t pass the smell test. If they want to move offshore for lower corporate taxes, they will simply go offshore and we’ll fill our tanks just the same.
[Was drill here what newt had on his mind with the government employee.]
Was this supposed to make sense? If so, What?
BTTT
You need to tell "some" that Haliburton is not an oil company.
I am so sick of people spreading the ridiculous stories that Bush and Cheney are doing things to help "their friends in the oil industry." If they wanted to make money in the oil industry, they would have stayed there and not gone into politics. These arguments are sophomoric.
If I wanted to read snide and crude comments from D*m*cr*t*c *nd*rgr**nd, I would GO to that site.
Watch what ya brung, fellah.
Halliburton is not an oil business. I know the kooks & nutjobs don't know any better. I doubt they have ever seen an oil well.
Maybe at a higher price. And in a worse case scenario (which doesn't look too unlikely now), YOU won't 'fill your tank' if WE don't produce. FWIW, I can point to about a billion barrels of oil reserves (conservative estimate, and that's reserves, not resources) that are not being produced, simply because the D@mocrats have been preventing oil & gas production from the area in question since I was a young man. I've got gray hair now, and am looking forward to retirement. We're all paying over $4 per gallon - thanks a ton, Nancy, Barbara, Diane, Ted, Hillary, Harry, et al...
