In all these arguments about opening up domestic production there as been one issue that has been completely absent.

Increased domestic production will decrease oil imports which in turn will decrease the trade deficit. A decreased trade deficit will strengthen the dollar and a stronger dollar will reduce the world wide price of oil.

Also, increased domestic production will create high paying jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, for AMERICANS!

with dims running the White House and veto proof Senate and House all this bashing of President Bush, Sen. McCain and Republicans seems to be rather stupid on conservative Internet forums???

Or, are the bashers shills and plants from DNC?

Saying: “We can’t drill our way out of this.”, is the ultimate in thinking like a loser.

You can’t become buff with one workout, so why exercize at all?
You can’t get rich saving $1, so why save?
You can’t get to be an expert reading one book, so why read at all?

Friggin’ loser left is actively destroying this country. It’s very painful to watch, but the majority of Americans are signed up for it.

Yeah, but what about the windfall profits tax? Isn’t that a great idea?

Good Lord, how come those people up on The Hill aren’t talking about a windfall profits tax on fertilizer and potash, etc., etc.?

I like your post. Good thinking!

The democrat mantra now is that milions of acres of leases have yet to be drilled so why let new ones?

I suggest the energy company start boring test wells on any lease within sight of any self-righteous democrat’s mansion, the estates and mansions of major democrat political sugar daddies/mamas, and within sight of any pet democrat earmark projects.

” ... Increased domestic production will decrease oil imports which in turn will decrease the trade deficit. ...”

Excellent point. I hadn’t read or thought of that angle. Very true, and very compelling.
That’s why you’ll never hear it in the MSM.

Dear Democrats,

If you think we are so off base that we cannot drill our way out of this, I propose that we drill and you prove us wrong, when it does not work. OK?

Oh, you can't be right about that.

The Democrats are completely against drilling.

And yet they tell us they want more jobs for Americans.

So you must be mistaken.

Well written, the only part I take a little disagreement with is this... and developing hydrogen as a motor fuel and that is only because it is somewhere on the area of 10x or more of a greenhouse gas than CO2 and if we were putting out water-vapor to the same extent as we are CO2, we'd never hear the end of it from the enviros. AND, I don't believe in global-warming. But why give them more ammunition?

Yep, we've heard the Democrats' top 40 hits over and over.

- The war is lost

- The surge is not working

Only losers vote for the loser Democrats.

We certainly can help ourselves a great deal in the short term if we drill here, drill now. Granted, we should continue to research new energy sources. But since oil isn’t just used to make our cars go, we’re always going to need it. Unfortunately, people don’t seem to realize that.

I agree! I don’t know one single soul that votes straight Democrat that I don’t consider damaged.

Excellent observation.

It will also greatly enhance our national security.

Right now we are at the mercy of the Arabs who are dealing secretly and making big investments in China's infrastructure.

There are some who honestly think trying to teach the Republicans a lesson is a good idea. They're wrong, of course, but they are sincere in their belief.

I am sick of hearing about the “speculators”. Once the prices start to turn south the “speculators” will be driving the price down. That’s how markets work.
