The president is holding a live press conference in the Rose Garden @ 10:30 (eastern) to make very public his desire that we DRILL. He will ask Congress to lift the ban on offshore drilling in coastal US waters.
Wow, that surprises me. I have been to NYC, and 81.0 comes in there for me. I get abc too, but 81.0 cpmes in much better in my car so I stick th that. Listen to it online too, for Rush and Al Rony.
Neighbor he did call for ANWR later in the speech.
Go, W, Go!
ANWE
Offshore
Rocky Mountain shale
Everywhere else.
Dimocrats want higher gas prices, I guess, because they are blocking/canceling legislative bills and amendments.
UNELECT THE DIMOCRATS!
This statement is just politics as usual. If he was serious he would have lifted the executive orders that are in the way of Drilling and other impediments. He could also issue executive orders to prevent a lot of the governmental agencies from getting in the way. Especially the EPA.
there’s a category of libs in cambridge and portland and arlington va that remains opposed to any drilling anywhere, at this juncture for no sound environmental or conservation reason but mainly because they want us fatassed rightwingers and Republicans peddling bicycles to work and to the grocery store, just like any third-world peasant (after all, we’re no better than them).
of course the solipsistic and angry liberal do-gooder doesn’t understand that the vast American landscape does not include Metrorail or BART or The T, but rather many miles of nothingness between towns and cities, and that hauling 20 tons of organic sunflower seeds to the Whole Foods warehouse is not possible with bicycles.
the basic motivation of the committed urban leftie is to stick it to the Republicans and Jesus freaks. make ‘em walk or take a bus.
I've tired of explaining how this works to screaming dupes.
Hey, Sign Guy, you’re an idiot. How do you even manage to figure out a ballpoint pen?
The oil companies will pass on the added taxes to their consumers. If they don’t do that, then their profits as a percentage of operating costs will be so low that their stock will never attract buyers.
Did I mention you’re an idiot, Sign Guy?
I bookmarked that thread.
Bush vetos the Farm Bill is "Breaking News!!!"
That bulletin has been on MarketWatch.com for awhile now but much to my shock, not posted in "Breaking News" here on FR!!!
The same with the minimum wage increase the dems are always screaming about. Salaries go up and guess what-so do prices. So they're right back in the same boat as before.
Think of the thousands of new high paying AMERICAN jobs that would be created from manufacture and deployment of deep water rigs that could be deployed in the heretofore unaccessible state and federal waters. Not to mention the huge influx of money into state and federal treasuries from royalties and production taxes. It only makes sense to open and develop these areas. Think globally but drill locally!
““I”m really tired of the 7 years to late mantra i see around here.”
“THANK YOU! “
Yeah it’s alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the presidents fault . I guess if you say it enough almost everyone will believe it .
Oh , and on the odd and even days . I remember people trying to bribe the attendants , and there was a $500 fine to the station if they were caught pumping on the wrong day .
gotcha...btw, it’s Bush’s fault I’ve got a big butt.
Glad you figured that out. Hopefully others will.
BTW, the exclamation points are really unnecessary if, when making a written argument, the content is reasoned and factual.
McCain did so yesterday.
He is leading by jumping in front of the parade, but at least he is leading.
I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I sit in numbed silence unable to post anything.
