Bush should counter with this ad......"Kerry wants us to stand up against OPEC?

Fine

Allow drilling in the ANWR and we can increase domestic jobs and end our reliance on foregn oil....

All of which will work as long as people like Kerry don't impose FURTHER gasoline taxes!!!

Fade to some arabian desert oil rig......

But Kerry IS for drilling in ANWR!!! Just ask Jimmy Hoffa!!

From the trancript of Hardball and others......

MATTHEWS: How about ANWR? You guys want to see ANWR because you want to see guys working in your business. I guess there‘s a lot of Teamsters jobs up there lined up and organized, if you could put a pipeline up to the Alaska wilderness. He is against that.

HOFFA: Well, we talked about that.

He says, look, I am against ANWR, but I am going to put that pipeline in and we‘re going to drill like never before.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: What, are they going to run water through it?

(CROSSTALK)

HOFFA: ... more jobs than the ANWR would have ever created.

MATTHEWS: What are they going to run through the pipeline?

HOFFA: And that‘s the position he‘s taking.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: But he is against drilling up there. What are they going to run through the pipeline?

HOFFA: Well, they are going to drill all over, according to him. And he says, we‘re going to be drilling all over the United States. And he says that is going to create more jobs.

(CROSSTALK)

(LAUGHTER)

MATTHEWS: You got that guy rolling.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: What position was he in when he made all these promises?

(CROSSTALK)

(LAUGHTER)

MATTHEWS: It just seems amazing that he has turned around on NAFTA, turned around on WTO, turned around on ANWR, anything to get the Teamsters.

HOFFA: Oh.

MATTHEWS: Who is going to be boss if he gets in there, you or him?

HOFFA: Well, I think that

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: It sounds like you are the boss.

and a great comment by Scarborough

SCARBOROUGH: And people aren‘t going to give that up. You can sit and say they are. They are not. They‘re going to want the most choices at the cheapest prices.

I‘ve just got to say very briefly, though, I thought the Hoffa interview was hilarious, when John Kerry said, oh, yes, I voted for NAFTA, but I‘m against it. I‘m going to set up a panel and you‘re going to be on it, buddy.

(CROSSTALK)

SCARBOROUGH: And then saying, I‘m going to drill all over. We‘re going to drill oil, drill not only in Alaska. We‘re going to drill them all across the 50 states It‘s proving—again, I think it‘s going to be a recurring theme, that John Kerry is not going to be able to run away from his record fast enough.
