Well, well.....
We will see, if ever there was a hanging softball of a political issue this Campaign, this is it, but I don’t like the caveat of “If the States want to”.
Give them their 20 mile limit (or whatever) and let the contracts begin for the 200 mile limit drilling!
McCain can be stubborn as hell, if he really sinks his false teeth into this one, he could have a win win for him and for us...
It’s a start Senator. Now, you said you would not drill in ANWR for the same reasons you would not drill in the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is one of the most beautiful, breathtaking natural sites on earth, is a tourist attraction to millions, and has no oil. That’s why I wouldn’t drill there. ANWR is a mosquito infested tundra wasteland nightmare that no one visits, and it has lots of oil. That’s why I would drill there. Hope this helps.
Good morning. Looks like Team McCain is finally starting to wake up and read the polls.
And what states would those be?
Nah............
The McCain Campaign must’ve gotten my letter regarding why I wouldn’t give them a dime.
Coulda sworn He said “no drilling” a week ago. Maybe he is catching on. I sent him an old drill bit of mine after one of the talk show guess suggested it. Who knows. Wherever we decide to do it we need to have strict rules, limits, and oversight. But it has got to be done.
Doesn’t the federal government regulate off shore waters?
McCain is starting to get it.
Keep it up, don’t stop here.
Drill Here, Drill Now.
Louisiana is for drilling!
Can you specify for me any offshore tracks of the coast of Louisiana that are currently off limits to offshore drilling?

I like that idea! Can you imagine if every FReeper, and later every conserative in America, starting mailing drill bits to congress critters?? They'd sure get the message -- and the public would hear about it, because the Capitol Hill mail room would be on the evening news, talking about how every piece of mail set off the metal detectors... I love it!
Very much agree with the above.
A start - of sorts.
Now if he would just take a realistic view of how opening ANWR would IMPROVE the migration patterns of the caribou, and in fact make the migration that much easier (resulting in a larger herd of caribou, therefore more Arctic foxes and timber wolves and black bears), the positive good that would come out of this opening of the Arctic far outweighs the supposed harm of the “anthill on the tennis court”.
I do not believe any of the protestors has a clear idea of what the ecology immediately surrounding the caribou might be, which species may be enhanced, and which may be further threatened by the the presence of more or fewer caribou.

I’ve got some spare bits - won’t drill much, but might cut through to a brain.
He says this then he babbles about global warming...
WHICH IS IT?!?!?
