The land they are talking about are 68 million acres of oiless lease land. The only reason they were able to lease it is there is no oil any where on it. The dems were challenged on the floor of the senate a few weeks ago to point to one acre of land of the 68 million acres that had oil on it that the oil companies won’t drill on and they couldn’t do it. Their whole argument is totally senseless, if the oil companies had land with oil on it why wouldn’t they drill on it? The answer is they would drill. This argument is easily derailed and has been several times but of course democrats don’t care about facts!

The government needs to be shut down for a little while. Especially the IRS!

[Don Corleone]

Shut down the government? Geeez! Don’t do us any favors.

There’s no oil there. If there were oil, the oil companies would be drilling - after all, that’s their business.

I am.

If a large wave begins, I would be proud to march on Washington, and I live 3000 miles from that sewer.

We are moments away from having to take our country back...by whatever means necessary.

The Stalinist Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) can dismiss the principle of supply and demand but it's the lack of supply that's created the huge monetary profits for Big Oil said Mark Levin.

I do not recall him accusing the Stalinist Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) of being the party of Big Oil but what other conclusion is there?

Others have probably stated the fact the Stalinist Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) is the real Party of Big Oil.

It's no "Occident" that the Party of Al Gore is in the pockets of Big Oil. And the real reason the Stalinist Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) is blocking an increase in supply is because it is the real Party of Big Oil.

Sure the Rats want to add two-and-one-half-days of oil to the supply and Big Oil says it want to drill more.. but do they mean it? :)

This is a winning issue. The libs are beginning to panic.

Conservatives need to STAND FIRM.

[stockstrader]

The democrats will do anything and EVERYTHING in their power to ensure that oil prices do NOT drop before the election!

They know that the higher that they can keep oil prices--the better for the democrats. They are absolutely unconscionable.

[The Shrew]

Democrat Plan?

Do nothing, blame Bush, count on our stooges in the Dinosaur media to protect us from the voters through November.

We don't always agree, but I have often admired your posts. This being a case in point. Keep up the good work.
