She paraded her tail feathers about her so-called tri-partisan Boxer-Lieberman-Warner global warming hoax bill. I guess that type of compromise only works when it suits her agenda.

[Heartland Mom]

I realize this is a rhetorical question, but what exactly do the Democrats EVER compromise on?

[djsherin]

I’m ashamed that this thing is my senator... I’m sorry America but California just has too many liberals. Forgive us.

[Pearls Before Swine]

What a stupid twit she is. And, she is not alone.

[nikos1121]

You don’t need to do it. If you look at what’s in there, it would keep us going for six months when you can do so much more. I mean, with the acreage that is already in the oil companies’ hands. So, I think there are certain American values and you don’t throw them away for something that is so obviously necessary

Why doesn't someone refute this nonsense. 10 billion barrels are not going to be used up in 6 months.

The Dems think blocking drilling wins for them. Until they’re convinced they’ll lose seats, they won’t budge.

[subterfuge]

I realize this is a rhetorical question, but what exactly do the Democrats EVER compromise on?

Republicans define compromising with Democrats as "giving them everything they want."

When your enemy is destroying himself, your best course is to stand back and let him.

[doodad]

Why is no one asking the real question ie if the site was set aside for drilling as a stupid compromise to lock up millions of acres for some wildlife refuge that it is now unacceptable?

[oyez]

Boxer needs to find out what is like to try get by on unemployment check.

[Lizavetta]

In a sane world, Barbara Boxer would have risen no further in life than assistant manager at a discount brassiere shop in Queens.

Gee, I read somewhere over the weekend that California uses more gaoline than China. Could that possibly be true?

But back to Boxer and her other “9%ers” who are in that elite club of being a member of the 110th congress that have 91% of We the Peoples (us taxpayers) disapproving of what they’re doing.

What the 9%ers fail to comprehend is that other countries are going to be drilling off the coast of their beloved California and these other countries don’t have to get permission from anybody.

That’s more than the entire US uses in a year if my memory serves me correctly.

[Entrepreneur]

I realize this is a rhetorical question, but what exactly do the Democrats EVER compromise on?

Nothing. That's for us to do.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Look its real simple. These socialists can not allow drilling to happen. Now or ever. Drilling would prove that they were lying to American citizens for the past 30 years and that they are the reason we are paying such high cost for gasoline.

[quintr]

LOL!

[iopscusa]

let the d’s keep the price of GAS high....this is a no wim situation for them....we may suffer now but the payoff should be a devastating election for the Anti-american Left. Even with Mccain this is going to be good for the R’s!

“If you look at what’s in there, it would keep us going for six months when you can do so much more. I mean, with the acreage that is already in the oil companies’ hands.”

You’re right, Boxer, we can do so much more and we must. We should drill in ANWR and everywhere else that shows potential for crude production. It’s actually kind of silly to talk about ANWR so much as an individual thing. It has to be just one part of a massive drilling program, plus ASAP development of viable alternative energy sources (and I really think we need to end these biofuel from food crop programs).
