In fact, “there’s probably more oil spilled in a Wal-Mart parking lot on a daily basis from oil seeping out of cars than is spilled on the North Slope,”

Har!

The oil industry decides when oil will flow, the politicals are just bottom feeders that scavenge for what money they can from the process.

Just a matter of time until oil goes up in price and ANWR is a complete reality. The oil industry has been gearing up all along.

Oh, get off it. Haliburton is an incredible company and deserves every bit of work it wins. I'd worry if any other company was involved. They're the best services company in the oil business.

So, you're accusing the administration of pushing ANWR because of some sweetheart deal? Why not come out and say it? Then post your proof. Then post how it could possibly benefit either Bush or Cheney for Haliburton to get this job.

You can't because it's a cheap lie and you're too big a coward to say it. Bush hasn't been in the oil business for twenty years and Cheney has already made his fortune.

I suppose you'd prefer people who have no idea what they're talking about, making these decisions. You'd probably prefer people who would drag in "experts" from colleges and universities who have only written papers on energy.

Make your case or shut up.

60% favor drilling in ANWR now? Hee hee...that's great. Now if the unions start broadcasting how Dasshole et all are holding up the bill and thereby thwarting some major job creation, etc...The libs don't have any arguments left so they have to stifle debate and the votes!!! Sort of like the military votes last November. Sheesh...they make me sick.

The last study done by an oufit in DC has determined that the McKenzie route is far too expensive. The construction season, which in this case would be restricted to the winter months when the heavy equipment could move on the ice. The heavy equipment needed to lay the pipe does not currently exist, and it would have to be designed and built brfore work starts. Further, they saw a need to actually lay two pipes, versus the one which would be on land.

I thought that Daschle had agreed to bring the vote for drilling in ANWR to the full senate floor? Does anybody know? What's the latest info on that? Thanks.

Coward Daschle said they could vote only if it would be tied to a filibuster.

But now we have this>>> GOP Energy Bill Close to Busting Filibuster

What would I have to be guilty of, creep?

Defend your "conversation" or beat it. Oh, that's right...you can't.

Interesting how when liars get caught lying they try some lame comedy and disappear.

It wouldn’t end our need for foreign oil, but it would make us less dependent on it.

Only if we modify our consumption. ANWAR oil will be expensive, which is a good thing. Otherwise the lower price caused by increased supply will increase consumption (or that's what I learned from Samuelson).

Funny how none of these people ever say Bush is doing something to help Big Baseball. He was a bigger success at that than oil.

Thanks for the link and info Trailer Trash! Great news! I keep hoping that the AFL-CIO will also join the Teamsters in this fight.I saw a statement the President of the AFL-CIO made several months ago indicating that he was going to brush the dust off of previous positions they had,which indicated that they're going to join the Teamsters.How anybody can be against drilling when our country is at war is beyond me! It's definitely a matter of national security as well as jobs.
