Little hope is on the presidential horizon: both Barack Obama and John McCain are Global Warming freaks.

Please, as long as GW Bush is in office he will be the lightning rod for any and all problems. If McCain gets elected he's next on the roof, if it's Obama the it'll be the House Minority leader or whatever prominent Republican they can find. With a complicit media no one is paying attention to the role of Congress or environmental lobbyists. It boils my blood that so many people are ill informed.

They can, but they won’t. The fault will always be on GWB, Cheney and Halliburton in their eyes.

This artificial restriction by the Dem-controlled Congress is a great subject of two great Red Planet Cartoons.

I was not aware the the Democrats have controlled Congress for the last 20 years.

But thankfully, the GOP has nominated a man for President who has always voted to open up ANWR to oil exploration.

The Majority of the “NO ZONE” on your map does not contain oil and thus would not be a good place to drill.

For reference.

The Pubbies should be pounding the Dems every day about this. I wrote to McCain and told him that if he would change his view on ANWR and domestic drilling, he would win in a landslide. Think he’ll take my advice? No, I don’t think so either.
