Our Congressmorons just don't get it. Their collective IQ is -100. The Democrats still want to keep us dependent on foreign oil.

Bush needs to Veto this as fast as it hits his desk. Call a press conference and tell the public that the democrats are determined to block our ability to access our own oil. He is vetoing the bill and demanding that they send him a bill that allows us to drill our own oil instead of sending the $$$ overseas.

Oil is up $25 per barrel today.
Locking out areas that we could drill in is not helping keep oil prices down.

Can you slant drill in the ocean?

WTF?? Is no one in Washington listening to what's being said out here in the real world. Call your representatives and ask them what the hell do they think they're doing. This bill shouldn't even get to Bush's desk.

While I agree that this crock of $#!^ should be vetoed the idea that any Congress can pass a law that is permanent is ludicrous. Even the Constituiton can be changed.

He MUST veto this bill and he MUST use the bully pulpit. McCain needs to sing out of the same song book.

Our notoriously anti-American Congress gets it, all right.
The ones who don’t get it are the American people who don’t vote the treasonous sobs out!

Oil is up $25 per barrel today. Months ago a lot of us said that, if Congress would just get off its lazy a$$ and simply announce that they were going to start drilling, the price of oil would fall. Lo and behold, Bush issues his Executive Order and the price of oil fell from $145+ to $90 in less than two months. Well, you dummies, it works in reverse, too. If you sit there with your thumb up your a$$ and announce that you will not allow drilling the OCS, ANWR, or all federal lands, the price is going to go up. Now, FOR ONCE, do what right for the country and forget your sorry self-interest and start drilling...NOW!!

Someone needs to calm Jacoby down.
Nothing lasts forever ... not even Jeff Jacoby.

For the Record - House Approves bill not to drill within 50 500 miles off shore. Why stop halfway?
This would be the headline, if the losers thought they could get away with it.
Anyone else get the sense that making offshore drilling more expensive is the next best thing to arbitrarily banning it?
Of course, losers. keep re-electing these total morons.
I can deal with the results better and longer that the typical idiot voter can.
Go for it, guys, re-elect these morons to office.
