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."

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

Do you even care that you are exposing your racist beliefs here for all to see?

A rapist of a "different" race is somehow worse than a rapist of the "same" race?

“Then answer the question that no other Rudy supporter will answer: If Rudy were running as a Democrat, would you vote for him over a Republican like Hunter, Romney or Thompson?”

No problem, I’ve said it all along that I’ll support whoever is the Republican nominee period. How about you?

And if you knew with 100% certainty that voting for Thompson, or Hunter in the primary WILL result in a Hillary presidency, would you still vote for them?

This post has nothing to do with abortion.

You are right!
I would also like to note that this thread has nothing to do with Mussolini getting Italian trains to run on time either.

As I said: you don’t have the power to stop him unless you field someone who can get more votes. Period.

LOL! Mitt is right about that! If Mitt is the nominee he gets my vote hands down. I don’t have a problem with him at all.

True Conservatives will not support a pro-abortion candidate.”

So why do you support Hillary?!


Conservatives are intelligent enough to know that Hillary is very, very beatable.

Why would be put up our own Hillary in an attempt to beat Hillary?

“By the way, glad Rudy is for energy independence. We definitely need more offshore drilling”

Thanks for trying to return the thread to its original topic.

Hopefully a pro-life candidate will also support drilling off FL and in ANWR.

McCain = hell no. Rudy = no.

Can't support someone who I disagree with on so many issues. And before you can say it will be my fault if Hillary wins, my reply is, give me a better nominee who is a republican.

Not one who is Hillary with an (R) behind his name.

Rape is a violent assault, a brutal invasion. Race is irrelevant to that...unless one is racist.

The proof is out there. http://www.wideawakes.net/forum/search.php?PostBackAction=Search&Keywords=&Type=Users&btnSubmit=Search

Earlier, an anti-freeping thread was linked on FR, and within minutes, the thread on the anti-freeping site was removed in embarrassent.

They were coordinating attacks at FR from there.

No kidding! Think bob is missing a K in his name? Conservatives get a bad enough rap for wanting everyone to compete equally. Racists comments like this aren’t necessary!
