Drill

I think “Drilling” is Dems Archilles Heel!
GOP better not waste money on Jeremiah Wright.
This is the winning issue.
The GOP has been handed a club to beat the commies with. Iraq is no longer an issue since it’s all positive news. It’s the gas prices stupid and even victims of public education understand drilling = lower gas prices.
Democrats and Independents better vote the so-called Blue dog Dems out, because they are not really conservative Dems.
They are also going along with the Dem “leader”ship, and are afraid to support drilling. They need to know that they should be more afraid of the voters than the Dem “leader”ship.
Common sense is returning to the electorate. Wonder how the Obama campaign is going to respond? They can’t keep denying the will of the voters or they will surely lose.
I would wager that, since offshore drilling was banned in 81, many people today don’t even know there is a ban on offshore drilling, or are even aware there is big gobs of oil out there. Also, since they are too young, they do not remember the oil spills of the late 60’s and 70’s. Its definitely a winning issue for the pubbies, hopefully they won’t blow it.
Drill now, drill hard, drill often, and give old Gaia a cigarette afterwards she deserves it.
HOPE and CHANGE -——>>> Drill ANWR
Since the MSM has jumped on this “Green” bandwagon while politicians leave the consumer behind, the GOP guest need to appear on every opposite of the pollsters news channel and tout the poll. The news station will start to undermine the accuracy of the polling and make themselves look foolish while doing so.
Take the green out of Americans’ wallets, and you take the green out of their politics, too.

I need an email address for Bill Nelson (Idiot-Florida) so I can send him this poll without going through his lame, designed-to-discourage-contact web site.
Will 76 percent of Americans vote to oust the liberals from Congress who are owned by the enviro whackos and will never allow drilling? Because if they don’t vote out the bought-off lefties, they might as well opppose drilling themselves.
I haven’t heard this discussed: Is this a Red State/Blue State thing?
Already, Blue States (Cali, Wash.) have commited to NOT drilling. If Red State’s drill they would reap the reward and increase their population and increase their influence. The Red States have more growth already, can the Democrats afford yet more Red State growth?
Develop alternatives, but in the name of God, please:
GO GET THE OIL WE HAVE...NOW!!!!!
We’ve not got any more time to waste on political posturing.
Interesting article about how we could and should use France as a model for nuclear energy (nuclear power supplies 80% of their energy needs.)
France: Vive Les Nukes
Steve Kroft On How France Is Becoming The Model For Nuclear Energy Generation
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/06/60minutes/main2655782.shtml
When much of the world spurned nuclear power, 30 years ago, the French, being French, decided to go their own way and embrace it. Paris, the “City of Light,” is lit by nuclear energy, which powers just about everything else in France: its homes, its factories, even its high speed railroads.
Nearly 80 percent of the country’s electricity comes from 58 nuclear power plants, crammed into a country the size of Texas. Pierre Gadonniex, the head “Electricite de France,” the country’s national utility says it all began with a French obsession for energy independence.
“In France, we have nearly no coal. We have no oil. So clearly, nuclear appeared to be the best way,” Gadonniex explains. “And 30 years later, it appears to be a very smart decision.”
.....
Americans, he says, tend to forget that there are 103 nuclear plants operating in the United States, that have produced 20 percent of the nation’s electricity without major incident in the 28 years since Three Mile Island.
“And in fact, they have an outstanding record. There has never been a radiation-related death in the commercial nuclear sector in the United States, ever,” Sell points out.

For decades, Americans have stored their radioactive waste on-site at power plants, awaiting a permanent solution, the Yucca Mountain Repository in Nevada. It’s years behind schedule, will cost $30 billion to open, and is already too small to hold all the waste. The French have taken another approach to the problem.
While the United States decided to store its nuclear waste, the French embraced the idea of reprocessing it. Instead of burying the spent fuel rods underground or underwater, they decided to build a massive plant on the coast of Normandy and recycle the used fuel and reuse it.
And yet these same Democrats will vote to increase the majority in Congress that will NOT open any more areas for drilling. They'll also vote for "Pool Boy" Obomba.
