Very nice SuperBrowns. [applause coming from the room]

“From what I understand the Republicans want to allow drilling in Alaska, Colorado, off shore drilling and something about slate rock drilling, It is not allowed because of the TREE HUGGERS.”

The Liberal Left and Liberal Democrats have called for higher gas prices over the last eighteen years. Al Gore was one of the leading voices to RAISE gas prices to reduce driving and CHANGE how American’s lived. The Liberal Left (AKA – Environmental extreemists) want high gas prices because it fits their agenda. So, don’t think that the Liberal Democrats in office will do anything to reduce the price of oil. They want it high to save the planet.

“Other Countries are off shore drilling about 45 miles off our coast in cubian waters, this is one of the places we are not allowed to drill, yet china is and if they slant drill they take our oil.”

Giving us an example of how Liberalism stunts freedoms. How about that for some CHANGE?

“If we want prices to come under control we need to start drilling.”

Also build more refineries.

“the plan is to wait for the election so a Democrat President is in office so They can take all the credit, what a way to treat the people that put them in office.”

Then don’t vote them BACK into office.

good post superduper!

i just read this morning the democrats are at it again..........tax the crap out of Big Oil.......like that's going to change anything!

and if they succeed (VERY unlikely) where is all this new tax revenue going to go? it certainly will NOT reduce the price of the oil.....nor will it reduce the price of a gallon of gas. it will go sky high & then Big Oil will be leaving for cheaper pastures.

and remember, there is the potential for billions & billions of tax revenue & people like you and i will NEVER benefit from it.

The reason why we shouldn't be drilling in protected environments, is to preserve the natural habitats of animal and plant species that are crucial to the ecosystem, which does affect people's lives.

Imagine living in a world without seals, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, or penguins! We need to preserve nature, to the best of our abilities for the next generation of people to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Also, most experts agree that ANWAR drilling will only decrease prices by about 1-2 cents in about 20 years, and by that time gas will be so high that if we haven't found a substitute or serious long term solution, we won't be needing to drill for oil, but plan for Armageddon.

We need a Sustainable and Long Term solution to BOTH Global Warming AND Peak Oil, and that means getting away from oil and gasoline because they contribute to greenhouse gases and because they aren't forward looking, but part of the past.

Time for the future! Not the past!

Time for Change! YES WE CAN!

As if caring about Clean Air and Water is somehow strange and unusual!

What? Wanting to Breath Clean Air and Drink Clean Water makes you a Tree-Hugger?

Is wanting to have a decent environment for future generations somehow a bad thing to conservatives?

Do you realize that we are connected by the food chain to animals in the wilderness like Girlscout describes? We don't live in a void, our actions concerning the environment can harm US! People are harmed when the environment is harmed!

You are predicting a "doomsday" paranoia that I don't believe will happen. Solar energy for example, can be stored for days when there is no sun. Windmills would provide much needed energy with little or no cost to our environment. This energy also can be stored - it does not have to have wind blowing constantly. Does'nt it make sense to explore energy alternatives that are less harmful to the environment before we charge ahead and screw up the environment for future generations? I believe it does. Like I said - it's all a domino effect - we never know what harming one thing will do to another link in the chain of life.

Gorbach – “Liberals have been warning about Peak Oil since the 1970s, when the Demand begins to exceed the demand.”

Can you explain this? Demand exceed demand? Are you the poster writer for Conservative protesters?

If you meant that Demand begins to exceed supply, you must recognize that the oil supply is artificially limited.

Liberal environmentalists have outlawed American’s from getting to their oil supply and refining it. That is wrong! American’s need to break the bondage of Liberal environmental policies, and get access to their own oil.

girlscout;
You are soooo lucky to have soooo much money as to have the time and luxury to wait till we have tried these alternative measures! How many Windmills will we, as a Nation need? We build and build windmills till they block each other and there is no more wind. If we have to pay to convert to Solar, we may as well buy Gas at twenty dollars a gallon. None of this can happen over night. What are we doing in the Present Tense. Most of us cannot afford four dollar gas. Did you catch the news thing on Corn for fuel today. Just like I told them, it takes more energy to produce Ethanol than you get out of it. I think you agree with the Liberals and Dems. Let China drill off of our Shores, Oil is in deposits like Lakes and Ponds. The other Nations drilling off of our Coastlines are sucking out OUR oil!! Those polar bears and Moose and Seals don't use OIL, so, let's be Environmentally friendly and go DRILL before dooms day, which IS right around the CORNER.

OK first I must defend my friend girlscout, She is the kindest liberal on here, and she also works hard for her money, she doesn't cause conflict, she tries to find common ground.
Girlscout, you are not the type of treehugger I am refering to, it's the ones that go over board and would rather see a human suffer and could care less about a child then an animal.
I also am a nature lover and I also like seeing animals in the wild, but there has to be some common ground, you just can't stop drilling for oil and make prices go up 10 fold and force all of us to change, no one I know could afford this.
The hybrids they have out now don't get the gas milage they say let alone the price they want for them, and the Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles are still under development and might be ready in about 10 to 20 years and then you have to think about fuel stations for them.
Now about mass transit and high speed trains, these would be great but if the democrats had this in mind then why in the heck are they sitting on it, why not give some company a contract to start construction on it.
Gorebash, I'm not knocking what you put out there, because it's the right road to travel, we must find other fuel alternatives or this country is going to sink fast, but we must also use what we have so everyone can afford the change.

I heard a bill failed in congress to tax the oil company, all this would do is raise the gas prices again. and what would they do with the taxes anyway, general fund, line pockets.

So, you are WILLING to continue to pay higher & higher prices for fuel?

Don't you think that exploring & drilling for oil in this country CAN be done without completely destroying everything? There can't be any compromise at all on this?

ie: there is 10,000 acres of "natural habitat" that has oil under it. we can't compromise to drilling on 5,000 acres & leave the other 5,000 acres as is? what's wrong with that?
