George, is Off Shore drilling just a decoy?

to divert naive eyes away from the real issue?

Namely, there is no real competition at the pump,

and we have no real Alternative Energy Program.

    I think it's funny as hell to look at the grumpy faces on Republican Senators right now...

    They wanted to complain that "Democrats won't let us drill and that's why we're charging you so much at the pump..."

    Well.... now they can drill but with the conditions that they have to use the land that they already had open FIRST before they can start tearing up the coasts and national parks... AND they have to hire American workers... not foreign labor...

    This is actually going to be a losing game for the Oil companies and so it shows everyone that they had no intention of drilling in the first place...

    Off shore drilling is a God-send. It will make life in America great again. And to think I was just about to move to Italy

    Only a total dope would buy into that, knowing the amount of money going overseas for foreign oil. I mean, someone would just have to be a complete retard to even entertain such a ridiculous idea. We're talking double digit IQ to buy into that, given all the obvious data.

    The Pickens plan seems to say we need to exploit our Wind corridor and our natural Solar advantage. After all, we do have a pretty big desert in the West.

    IT IS A DEMOCRATIC TRICK TO FOOL THE AMERICAN VOTER. LIBERALS HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MOST AMERICANS ARE NOT THAT BRIGHT AND WILL BUY ANYTHING THEY SELL THEM.
