they take it to the point of being insulting.
I've been watching TV today. I know, I know, my mistake.
Every Senator or Representative who came on said the same thing in the same way. I'm not big on conspiracies theories but I'm starting to wonder who puts the words into their mouths and pulls the strings. It's obvious they have a meeting and somebody tells them this is what you say and you stick to it no matter what.
Their first point is "If we started drilling at ANWR today we wouldn't see a drop of oil for ten years." Using that logic, investing in a 401K or any other retirement plan is pure foolishness. You won't see any benefit until you retire. I wonder if there might still be a market for oil ten year from now. They have been using the ten year argument for at least twenty years.
"You can't drill your way out of this."
According to them, this point isn't even up for discussion. It's just a fact that you can't drill your way out of this because they say you can't drill your way out of this. Maybe we can't drill our way out, but if we can't then there is no way out because there is no other way out.
"They already have eight hundred million acres they haven't drilled. Drill the eight hundred million acres first, then talk about ANWR."
In the first place, eight hundred million acres is an exaggeration. In the second place, oil wells produce better when you drill them in places where there is oil. In the third place, after the lease holder decides drilling might be worthwhile, they have five to ten years of red tape and hoops to jump through before the posy sniffers will let them sink a well.
I don't know what these people have to gain by the destruction of the United States, but it is becoming more and more obvious they are not on our side.
I wonder if it's a coincidence that the word ANWAR is an old Arabic name meaning "Luminous".

The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

this will make the first time ever that I have said anything about a user name but your un is sick.
yours are as bad as ours when it comes to finding solutions to the cost of fuel!
we might as well be ruled over by robots or computers, like you said, they all say exactly the same thing, in exactly the same tone!
it sucks big time, but there isnt a thing we can do about it...they just keep preaching the official party line and ignore the ordinary citizen!
sometimes i wonder if the politicians here as well as the ones in the u.s.a. are trying to force the people into a rebellion...then they would have their perfect excuse to crack down hard and bring their filthy dictatorship ideals out into the open, and quickly, instead of eating at our rights slowly, and one piece at a time!
at least a lot of americans have the guts to say they are getting fed up with the system and are openly talking about doing something about it...people with enough guts to even say anything about rebellion in this counrty are as scarce as hens teeth!
i often wish i could buy an island and drop out of society completly!

in montana, anywhere including off the coast.
they said no, now cuba, china is drilling
off our coast. its time our people in
washington listen to us.
drill here, drill now, dont wait.
build more refineries, build some
nuc power plants now
Why else would it be classified as a Schedule I illicit drug, when it takes about 2000x the amount of it as other Schedule 1 drugs to overdose on.
sometimes it's best to just shut the hell up and cut the board.

"You can't drill your way out of this."
SO what other solutions do they suggest. Are they going to create a miracle energy powerhouse driven by water tomorrow? They have no solution, but yet they have the AUDACITY to say drilling for more oil is not an immediate solution.
In the mean time, people are struggling. Families are struggling and Obama's solution is to drive less. ---heartless ba$tards.
Are they so tied up in the AL Gore movement they WANT to see the lower income Americans who don't have extra to spend on energy suffer? YES. We didn't send them to Warshington to be Al Gore's minion. We sent them there to be America's leaders, and right now Pelosi, Reed, Durbin, Clinton, and Obama are failing us. Their extreme position is being a hindrance to America.
It's time for the democrat party to get off the environmental cool-aid. Perhaps, it's time we start running them out of office.
It comes down to two simple concepts.
Drill here. Drill now.
IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID!
No they are not on our side. Time to vote them out. Heartless ba$ards.
but, then you notice that because there are more lanes, more people decide to use the highway. and next thing you know, you have 4 lanes of bumper to bumper.
if you give people more they consume it. its why they call us consumers.
now, if we are willing to be conservers, yes...drilling would help. but people wont conserve. they want MORE NOW so they can go back to consuming and living the old life all over again consuming even more.
stop drilling to consume. drill to build a reserve up? yes. to consume and let americans just have more of the same? no. usa needs to be whacked in the knees and taught they arent so powerful as they think. sad thing is, we wont listen and get the hint. we're gonna consume ourselves to no end.

The same scenario will manifest with the very water we drink, though probably not in our grandchildren's lifetime.

Give me the "odds" on who's right .
We are at war with people we depend on to supply us with a vital war material. In order to get that war material we supply the enemy with vast quantities of cash which in turn supplies him with everything he needs to make war. Not to mention that our entire economy depends on our enemies.
Somebody will say the Saudies aren't our enemy. They haven't declared themselves such, but make no mistake, they are not on our side.
First, they may or may not think we are stupid but they know that they don't need your or my vote and will never get it. We are in the wrong demographic.
Drill baby drill, go ahead and take the time to do it right, we will still need the oil when be get it out of ANWAR or the gulf coast or calif. coast. No point in making a mess just to get it sooner.
The Dems. don't like some of us, maybe white middle class exurban or rural males. Not enough of us to win at the poles, we have some allies but there are a lot of blue states.
Rural economies are very dependant on oil. The rural residents are going to suffer but they will find a way to get by because they are essential to the country and the world and we will have to make sure that the farms, mines and forests get the oil they need. The city dewellers are going to suffer more, everything they buy is going to get more expensive and because the demand for the goods or services they produce is elastic, meaning these items are not essentials, people can just cut back on those good and services. The demand for food and raw materials that are produced in rural americia is not very elastic mostly we have to have them and the rest of the world wants them too.
Their first point is "If we started drilling at ANWR today we wouldn't see a drop of oil for ten years."
That's only because of our own bureaucratic red tape [xx(][:(!]
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
Does Obama believe this crap? Or maybe...I wonder what percent of Americans believe this nonsense?
I see no problem drilling off the Florida or California coasts. ANWAR, Colorado or Great Lakes should all be on the table.
Drill here.
Drill now.
Speaking of conspiracies, I wonder if anyone has ever looked into any possible connection between OPEC and the anti-drilling greens? Just a thought.
