I’ll believe it when I see the legislation. Till then all talk about drilling is campaign promises.

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.

Yes indeed. Real leadership would have saw the problem at least four years ago and campaigned vigorously for drilling then. Now, it is obviously only the actions of a political opportunist, and fainthearted actions at best.

It’s sounding a lot like Border Wall Pt. II.

He opposed ANWR drilling before he was for it?

Sounds too Kerry.

“I would be more than happy to examine it again,” McCain said.

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.

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.

Freepers, do not call it ANWR! It is the Arctic Tundra Wastelands - ATW. There are no wildlife refugees huddling there.
