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.

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.

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!

Worried about CNLE stock and your hubby’s solar investments, Nan?

They could be in the oil producers’ pocket.

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.

House Democrats are trying to make the situation worse not better.
They seem to be intent on crashing our economy.

The Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy!"

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight. A war we don't need to fight because we have our own resources.

The Democrats still want to keep us dependent on foreign oil.

What you may not yet realize is that he Democrat party has become the solely owned property of the extremist wing of the environmentalist lobby. The envirowhackos want $10 gas so that fossil fuel powered internal combustion and turbine engines will cease to be used for normal transportation and commerce, and electricty not produced by water, wind, or solar power will be outlawed. If they reach their ultimate goal our homes will be virtually unheated or air conditioned, our goods will be hauled by draft animals or wind powered watercraft, and we will ride bicycles or use some other non-motorized form of personal transportation to get to work, as if there would be any jobs in that kind of economy.

As insane as all that sounds, the whackos to whom so many Democrats owe their election success believe it would be highly desirable if it ended the practice of using fossil fuel energy just to make our our economy viable and our lives somewhat comfortable. Of course the Democrats aren't as stupid as they usually seem to be, and they will make sure to keep that illusory goal just out of reach of the whackos yet appearing to be attainable if the campaign money keeps flowing in.

Contact your Congress critters to let them that you know the best oil is located in the first 50-mile range, shoreline to 50-mile point.

U. S. Senate

U. S. House of Representatives

Send Nancy’s email to:

http://www.speaker.gov/contact/

And un-elect all the dimocrats who will not support drilling EVERYWHERE!

The socialist Democrats are hard at work trying to destroy our Representative democracy to replace it with socialism.

What is the bill number and title? I want to refer to both when calling my rep.
