My choice is not there.

YES, additional wells will relieve pressure and limit spillage.

I absolutely agree but the liberal idiots wouldn’t let us drill there.

The spill in the Gulf is because of liberals. They won’t let us drill anywhere. There’s more than enough oil that we don’t have to drill in the Gulf or in Alaska.

Liberals are the reason why we’ve had to send all our oil money to the middle east. In a way, they’re responsible for forcing us to fund terrorists.

There’s more than enough oil right here in the USA. We don’t need to drill in the Gulf or get it from the arabs.

Has anyone seen the list of those killed in this accident? Has terrorist attack been ruled out?

If the envirowackos truly believe in what they preach and say, as going green, then, there should be a mandatory ban on all liberal's and envirowackos driving cars, home heating and aircondition, and let them live in the dark.

We should increase off-shore (and on-shore) drilling. Practice makes perfect.

If we don’t someone else will.
