Glenn Beck on Chuck DeVore and the Orwellian Vote in California (offshore drilling votes expunged)

Last week Chuck DeVore did his best to get the California Assembly to vote through the first major offshore drilling efforts in over two decades. After the Senate passed the measure the Assembly voted down the measure and later voted to expunge the record, as if it didn't exist. As Chuck noted: "George Orwell would be proud." Glenn Beck quotes Chuck in this 2 minute report.

Can the nation secede from California and the northeast? That would solve a lot of problems.

Freepers in these areas would be welcomed to relocate into the USA from the USSA.

I like Devore. I’ve donated to his campaign. How do you think his chances are in the primary and in the general?

[glock_fan]

I was present at the Silicon Valley Conservative Forum last night. Chuck Devore was the speaker and was extremely impressive. He articulated his positions very well on pretty much all of the issues of today with solid conservative ideas.

He has a great personality and stage presence as well as a great sense of humor. He is also pretty savvy with high tech methods of getting his message out.

He’s got my support.

[fightinbluhen51]

Does this change give us any hope for better things to come? I can’t imagine the squeezed in Cali will be happy about this, especially since this is lost royalties and tax revenue when they need it most.

[tet68]

Stalinism, alive and well in Kaliforrnia.

[cherry]

you know, developing our own energy resouces would make us the richest nation in the world...

[CPT Clay]

unbelievable

How do you think his chances are in the primary and in the general?

We'll see whether or not Carly Fiorini makes the plunge or not. But Chuck DeVore is a solid candidate and is making good usage of the new media (internet), as displayed by a number of embarrassing Boxer videos he's posted, in addition to parodies he's done.

California has a history of not electing multi-millionaires as governor or U.S. senator with no political track record (other than actors). What Chuck will be able to do is get the foot-soldiers (volunteers) needed to win this campaign, conservatives looking for a solid candidate to back.

I was there last night as well, and your analysis is spot-on. Good to have you on the team.

Back in 2005 reports started coming out that detailed the progress of oil seeps in the Santa Barbara channel. They’d been around for years but likely it wasn’t PC to mention them. Trouble was — because the seeps were natural — no hue and cry could be raised. Still too many birds were turning up dead. So scientists quietly studied the problem. Recently a study of the seeps has been completed. According to this article
new research shows that natural oil seeps into the Santa Barbara channel dwarf the oil spill of the Exxon Valdez. Remember all the grief Exxon took for the Valdez spill? Well, much much more oil is sitting on the sea floor just offshore of Santa Barbara. Considering that modern oil rigs have taken 20 years of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico–without an incident — its not clear to me what all the fuss about drilling off the coasts — is about–especially off Santa Barbara.

Consider that Santa Barbara was the cause of the US being the only country in the world with coastal drilling bans. By drilling — oil companies might take some of the pressure off the under water oil and gas deposits in the Santa Barbara Channel and lessen the seeps. They might also take the some of the pressure off California’s state budget. Might help the feds too.

Funny how this sort of thing doesn’t get out of the science journals.

No, but we can refuse to fund their irresponsibility.

[JasonC]

True. Also, we already are. And that's why the left is against it with a fiery passion...

[Islander7]

No, but we can refuse to fund their irresponsibility.

And how do we go about that. You and I can not refuse to fund anything. All we get to do is vote every couple of years.

[Gilbo_3]

obviously you hate polar bears and penguins.../s...

[MSF BU]

I could get into the specifics of tax avoidance and evasion but I won’t. I meant the ‘we’ collectively in the sense that I don’t think Congress will subsidize their nonsense forever.

[MSF BU]

I remember Governor Reagan referencing this point when he was campaigning during the 1980 primary in Massachusetts. Twenty eight years later and nothing has been done about it.

[MSF BU]

Just makes sure he doesn’t go to a strip club four days before the general election.
