I read that ANWR is so small an area of Alaska that if you imagine a horse, ANWR is a flea on the horse.

Or the postage stamp on a football field - a frozen Siberian wasteland that even the caribou and the rarefied (not) polar bears stay away from.

a position recently espoused by presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

Last month he publicly stated his opposition to drilling in ANWR. He couldn't be more of a phony or disingenuous.

The problem with the blue dog democrats going along with the lib leadership, most do not have any competition this fall. The republican party has disintegrated.

HOPE and CHANGE -——>>> Drill ANWR

[tobyhill]

Since the MSM has jumped on this “Green” bandwagon while politicians leave the consumer behind, the GOP guest need to appear on every opposite of the pollsters news channel and tout the poll. The news station will start to undermine the accuracy of the polling and make themselves look foolish while doing so.

ANWR Detailed Map: Proposed dev area: 3.13 sq miles

ANWR.org -- lots of good info about why it makes sense to drill with pictures of happy caribous around the pipelines.

Take the green out of Americans’ wallets, and you take the green out of their politics, too.

Happy Days are here again .. Drilling is the way back to Congress , my friends.

[narses]

Drill. Drill here. Drill now.

Hey Doug, music and lyrics maybe?

I need an email address for Bill Nelson (Idiot-Florida) so I can send him this poll without going through his lame, designed-to-discourage-contact web site.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Actually ANWR is a fairly large region - hundreds of thousands of acres mostly snow and ice - but the “footprint” which would be used for drilling is quite small - about one-quarter the size of Manhatten - and since virtually no one ever visits the ANWR region, the idea of keeping it “pristine” is really a sham.......

I’ve been looking for the right song but haven’t been inspired yet.

[PaleoBob]

Will 76 percent of Americans vote to oust the liberals from Congress who are owned by the enviro whackos and will never allow drilling? Because if they don’t vote out the bought-off lefties, they might as well opppose drilling themselves.

[Fitzy_888]

I haven’t heard this discussed: Is this a Red State/Blue State thing?

Already, Blue States (Cali, Wash.) have commited to NOT drilling. If Red State’s drill they would reap the reward and increase their population and increase their influence. The Red States have more growth already, can the Democrats afford yet more Red State growth?

[Titan Magroyne]

New tagline, if’n you please?

[Shortstop7]

I think you are spot on.
