Giuliani: Consider More Offshore Oil
Forbes ^ | April 4, 2007 | BRENDAN FARRINGTON/AP

Posted on 04/04/2007 6:11:50 PM PDT by FairOpinion

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday said everything has to be considered if the United States wants to break its reliance on foreign oil, including more drilling off Florida's coast.

Calling the energy supply a major domestic problem, Giuliani said the nation needs to focus on nuclear power production and renewable energy sources. In the meantime it also needs to see what oil can be tapped, he said.

"Energy independence means everything has to be open for discussion," Giuliani said when asked about offshore drilling. "The idea of having more oil under our command, so to speak, or within our orbit probably for some period of time is going to be important. The ultimate goal, however, should be renewable sources of energy."

Maybe because I’m referring to a handful of marginalized, maladjusted freepers? I thought surely anyone could figure that out.

Identify the “maladjusted Freepers.” Don’t be a coward.

“This was the place that largely wanted Alan Keyes as their guy in 2000.”

WOW! Alan Keyes? Good to know what’s driving this almost obscene obsession with driving Rudy’s negatives up.

Oh, I think anyone reading this thread and dozens of others can figure that out. I’m not playing your little game, but you carry on with someone else and have a wonderful evening.

Sleep tight. I know I will, especially since my candidate is doing so well nationally. Toodles.

"This forum" is not "a handful of marginalized, maladjusted freepers" is it?

You realize you are a member of the team you seem to despise, right?

So, make a big deal of a typo.

Santorum WAS a conservative Senator, who was defeated because the conservatives stayed home in 2006.

Isn't it ironic? They're posting on a conservative Forum trying to sell a liberal candidate, and then call US the extremists.

This is straight out of the Clinton War Room.

As an aside, for some much needed levity, did you know there is a ‘beating the dead horse’ smiley?

Good to know. Wish I had used it in my previous post to you.

You said what you said, now you whistle past the graveyard like no one should notice.

So sad for you.

As long as there is a single Rudy fan left standing, it will not apply.

It’s not a typo, it’s your effort to move the goalposts on my statement.

Back to Propaganda 101 with you (but fill out the timeslips, please!).

NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN ‘BOUT.

My grade school memory in geography is the paragraph that said “[insert country] is rich in natural resources including minerals, diamonds, coal and oil.

Since when has it become a sin against nature to utilize our own natural resources for the betterment of Americans?

I agree with Mr. Giuliani on these environmental issues.

“I wonder how some of these anti-abortion zealots would react if their wife or daughter was brutally raped by a criminal of a different race. Would they want their said wife/daughter to have the baby then?”

Yes I would. It would be very traumatic, but murder is murder. It isn’t the poor baby’s fault! Why punish him/her? And I will just bet that the baby would end up being a blessing and a beautiful gift from God!

Thanks for the Alan Keyes headsup. This puts everything in a different perspective. Bye.

Rudy has no credibility. You're talking about a man who would pay to have his daughter get an abortion.
