Not only that but the Caribou use the oil pipelines as protection and have increased their numbers around them. Drilling in the Alaskan Desert would likely improve Caribou and Polar Bear populations.
There would not be one drop of oil spilled, but media will sell it as Black Gushers blackening everything. Thank you Congress for shortage.

The way we take them on is to nominate John [no drilling in ANWAR and the need to implement government controls to stop global warming] McCain as our standard bearer.
Interviewing him on Iraq is a kin to interviewing General George B McClellan after he was fired from the Army of Potomac in 1862. What he going to do? Admit his own failure and incompetence lead DOD to fire him? Or blame everyone else for his failures?
The problem is that McCain is going to depress Rep turnout, which will hurt conservatives running on the downticket. Conservatives will have to take positions opposite McCain on such issues as immigration, drilling in ANWAR, global warming, closing Gitmo, etc. And McCain is hurting Rep fund raising.
I have Windows XP from an update, at boot I had to get into the ‘boot strap’ program, press delete to enter set-up and tell it to boot from disk, somewhere in it menu you’ll find that choice. I put in the XP upgrade(from Windows 98) disc, and was given 2 options, complete or partial restore, I’ll try to get you more details, but the delete key option happens so fast I can’t hit the key in time to get to the rest of the program.
Well I guess that’s it.
We should all just stay home.
No use in voting.
Until the people want Alaska/coastlines to be drilled our candidates are not going to change. Now that gas is hitting $4 it is time to try to strike. GW should be on this like a Trout on a Junebug.

The leadership of the Democrat Party has consciously followed a policy of pushing this “Conservation not Consumption” nonsense for 30 years. The end result is a US Energy Market wholly depended on the International Oil Market. This disaster is wholly a product of the Democrat and their obsequious relationship with the Green Lobby.
So of course the gutless blunderers who run the GOP bend over and grab their ankles instead of taking on the Democrats on this!
“Republicans want more drilling, more consumption and more tax giveaways for the big oil companies,” she said. “Democrats say that those are exactly the policies that got us into this mess to begin with.”
.
Democrats want less drilling, she’s right,
Democrats want less consumption, she’s wrong, their people burn gasoline in record amounts,
Democrats want no tax giveaways for the big oil companies, she’s right, but oil companies will not pay those tax hikes.
So we should be putting up platforms for fish habitat improvement. The Enviroterrorists should be supporting that?
Shouldn’t an environmental Purist commit suicide for Mother Earth?

I went to “help” (the one in the Start Menu) and looked up the word “Magnifier.” Found out how to turn it on. Played with it a while.
I was able to turn it off by right-clicking in it. A little “pop up” menu appears, and one of it’s choices is “Exit.” Just click on “Exit” and Magnifier mode disappears.
If you’re not using Windows, ignore this post.
So sorry to not have replied, but we’ve been at church.
Try setting the resolution HIGHER. I told you backwards!
No, I will be voting a straight Rep ticket as I have for over 40 years, just not for the Office of President, which I will leave blank for the first time in my life.
It seems pretty clear the DBM wants to BE the selector of nominees.
They don’t want the public to realize that conventions are SUPPOSED to select the nominee.
If conventions select the nominee then the DRM (cnn,fnc,pmsnbc) are just reporting observation rather than making news.
Hillar is polling 20 points ahead in a state where Obama should be now ahead after a being ahead.
The DBM is not asking the questions about the convention and if Obama has the gravitas to “close the deal”.
Agree. The GOP needs to draw the cause and effect relationship as to why we are becoming more and more dependent on foreign sources of energy. The only problem is that the presumptive nominee of the party agrees with the other side. He thinks he is Teddy Rooselvelt.
I don’t think they would or wouldn’t qualify for re-entry. I think we need a process that screens applicants and has a reasonable waiting period; say 6 months. I also think that a tamper-proof work permit should be the ONLY acceptable employment document. Once such a law was enacted ICE could start checking all employers to see if their workers were in compliance. After a few months of this the illegals would self deport. Need a guest worker program? Give these work permits an expiration date: say 3 years. After that workers have to go home and re-apply if they want to return.
The destruction of the Oil production industry is exactly the same as their elimination of the Nuclear Power industry.
They have eliminated the cleanest, cheapest and most powerful power sources in the world and wonder why we have a crisis.
Course PravdABDNC will blame consumption like that is the problem when it is supply. Thank you Congress.

Democrats want to help oil companies bring a commodity to market at a low price? How about asking the oil companies how that relationship is going?
Even worse, our candidate for President has gone over to the dark side with them. Immigration can also be a wedge issue cutting across party lines, but we can't use it for obvious reasons. It is off the table.
Sinator InSain thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt since they are the same age.
If America changes its mind about energy, so will the Maverick. $4/gal gas will start the discussion, even among Rats. Even a Dim doesn’t want to be riding around in electric lawnmowers.
