So if we vote for the “dipstick” we can expect more of samo samo-with all that entails.

We can’t solve hunger by growing food.
We can’t work our way out of poverty.
All is lost.
Woe is me.

“We can’t drill our way out of the problem.” Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has said it.
::::::
And the Obamination is a dangerous lying fool. As any critical thinker knows, sourcing more of our own crude can be a huge step toward energy independence and a significant reduction of our security risks given we source much of our crude FROM ENEMIES.

Why does McCain believe in states' rights for Californians and Floridians, but not Alaskans, Because he doesn't believe in it at all. He is attempting to score a few political points and gain some voters. That is all.
While his "current position" on offshore drilling is the correct one, I am skeptical of his actual support and more so his ability to articulate support for it in debates and when questioned by reporters.

More empty phrases from the candidate and party so quick to blame yet so slow to propose real answers.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said it.He also said: "This war is LOST!" So maybe he should have the decency to be shamed into silence about what we can and cannot accomplish.

Yes but due to Obamaphobia, many conservatives (myself included) are far too willing to be lied to and played for a fool. If that man keeps up this charade AND picks a conservative VP? He’s a shoe-in.

We're in the fix we are today in large part because of the 'Rats always saying we can't do this, or we can't do that. Sure, if we never can do anything, eventually we're going to get into trouble.
I guess that's another fundamental difference between libs and conservatives, between 'Rats and 'Pubs. One is always saying what we can't do, the other is focusing on things we can do. I just wish the sheeple would see and understand this when they go to the polls.

How can a rational and intelligent person not see the connection between “energy independence” and expanding and developing all of the potential sources of energy that we possess? Oh, I know. I assumed rational and intelligent.

There are more potential oil reserves in off shore waters and in ANWR than exist in Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, or any one of the other OPEC countries except for Saudi Arabia. Allowing drilling in those areas effectively gives the US a resource equal to one of the major members of OPEC.

If that man keeps up this charade AND picks a conservative VP? Hes a shoe-in.He'll need to do just a few more flip-flops first: on ANWR, Guantanamo, and illegal immigrant amnesty. But he seems to be getting... more spry ... now, isn't he? ;)

We cant drill our way out of the problem. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has said it.”
He also said, “We cant drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times..”
I’d like to hear someone ask Obambi if he favors the lowering of our standard of living through high energy prices.

So, “We can’t drill our way out of this problem.” Right? Besides the fact that we can; If we were starving as a result of a shortage of food or it being too expensive. Would we not be able to farm our way out of starvation? The obvious answer is yes.
So whenever you hear somebody say “We can’t drill our way out of this problem.” Question either their sincerity, their intellect, or their motives. And if said by a Washington politician, question all three.
As for McCain’s “flip flop,” I call real CHANGE. Or CHANGE you can believe in. What say you, Barack Obama?

Back in 1995, when President Clinton vetoed legislation to permit drilling in ANWR, environmentalists argued that it would do no good for Washington to permit drilling in the Alaskan refuge because Americans wouldn't see any oil for 10 years. Who doesn't want that oil now? The money line...
