I’ll believe it when I see the legislation. Till then all talk about drilling is campaign promises.
Not a nickle till he gets his head right.
A repeat of his duplicity on illegal immigration.
He says he’s learned his lesson - secure the border. But now we find that behind closed doors he is telling Hispanic groups that he will institute comprehensive imigration reform (amnesty) his first day in office.
This guy is not to be trusted.
-OR- is John McLaim providing a diversion to doing anything substantive..
A faint at doing anything to appease the GAS/diesel buyers/purchasers/users..
TO APPEAR relevalent but he against it.. as always..
IS John McLAim an APPEASER a WEASLE and political opportunist?..
... YES.. but has he finally become a republican?..
Well.. Duuugh.. (hands on hips, glaring demeanor)..
He just might get a campaign donation if i hear this out of his lips with out hedging.
It’s sounding a lot like Border Wall Pt. II.
He opposed ANWR drilling before he was for it?
Sounds too Kerry.
He needs to b poked with a cattle prod.
Help. I've feinted and I can't get up...
Actually, John McCain can justify the change of opinion by the now-critical nature of the energy shortage.
It will put the Dems in a nice bind for the election, but that's not the reason it's a good idea. It's a good idea because it's a good idea.
The dems have created this crisis in order to socialize the oil companies and confiscate their profits and their property.
They’ve as much as admitted it already. I guess they figure it’s too late to stop them now.
No, we won’t drill, we won’t do anything. The Democrats and the attorneys and the judges will have to be shot and burried first.
This is a Flip Flop that needs to be done. I could care less if the entire Congress Flips, it is the right decision. If you like $5/gal, Thank Congress in Nov.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Uh, is this an Election year?
Why doesn’t McCain (and bo) just “visit” ANWR and see for himself how “pristine” it is? He could also see how little the actual footprint is compared to the vast area of ANWR. His arguments against bo not visting Iraq can be turned back on him regarding ANWR.
Anyone I know who has seen the area comes back supporting drilling there and drops the “pristine” argument. It is a dump!
The offshore thing could be taken care of by the Pres himself by his own authority, excepting where various States stand in the way.
McCain absolutely needs to get on a plane and get to ANWR immediately. I’ve been up there on the North Slope. It’s not a “pristine wilderness” especially in Winter. I would call it barren tundra.
He could win over a lot of people instantly if he went there and based on his visit strongly embraced drilling.
Good for McCain....
