Gore compares offshore drilling to invasion of Iraq
In a surprise appearance at Netroots Nation which apparently was the worst-kept secret in Austin, Texas former Vice President Al Gore followed up a speech by Nancy Pelosi by laying out a narrative on climate change and the energy crisis that seems ready-made for the Obama campaign to download.
If you look at the seriousness of the climate crisis, you see how it ties to the economic crisis and the national security threat that we face, he said. 200 billion dollars are being sent overseas just from oil.
The idea that we can drill our way out of this is just so absurd, he said, comparing the push for offshore oil drilling which has gained popularity and put environmentalists on the defense to dealing with a hangover by having another drink.

I agree. They're both good ideas.
AlGore ... a man who never lied! A man who knows the truth! A man who can win an election based on his truths!
This retard never shuts up.
Translation: My Global Scamming is heading in the toilet and costing me $Billion$.
Pray for W and Our Troops
He is such a loon!
No one is saying that we’re going to drill our way out of the energy situation. It’s just one leg of the stool. It’s the leg that the democraps are trying to kick out from under us.
P.T. Barnum had nothing on this guy.
This is a severe case of a guy who got lucky and got his 15 minutes but is trying to stretch it out to 30 minutes. Someone...anyone...please get the hook.
Algore the Hutt is a perfect example of why, once a pollitician is out of office, they should be thrown in jail or “put to sleep.” They are no longer useful human beings.
Who lets this man walk the streets?
These guys are deadly serious. They fully intend to remake this country into a leftist police state and use this climate change BS to do it. They do mean business, my friends.
They will continue to get richer and more powerful, while impoverishing and enslaving the nation.

“Petroleum is making us sick.”
Contact your Congress critters to let them know that you are tired of high gas prices.
What does that even mean?
Who in their right mind talks like that?
Who even cares what Comrade Gore says about anything.
What an ultramaroon.
