Senators Obama and McCain really need to change their position on drilling for oil in ANWR. Most politicians have a long history of FAILURE on the nations need for energy. Senators Obama and McCain are NOT advocating doing anything that will bring down the prices of gas and food.
Like most politicians they blame "big oil" or "big speculators" for these as of yet unsolved problems, and they do not see that it is the members of our Congress, {with their 9% approval rating} who are the blame for the no drilling problems. To date they still continue to deny America the RIGHT to develop our own sources of energy.
Almost all Americans have come to understand that it is the "law of supply and demand" that is jacking up oil and by extension, food and sundry prices. Recent polls show that more and more voters are in favor of developing our own domestic sources, but the Congress and the two Lemons we have as presidential candidates seem to be on the wrong side of the issue. " We can't drill our way out of this problem" was shown to be a lie when President Bush announces that the ban on off shore drilling was lifted and there was an immediate drop in gas prices!
Americans are disillusioned by the FACT that all career politicians only look out for themselves. A couple of good examples are: The American taxpayer HAS to pay for Congresses Cars and gasoline Charles Rangel Drives a Cadillac Deville at the cost to us of 774 dollars a month, plus gas and insurance, Gregory Meeks drives a Lexus L5460 at the cost to American taxpayers of 998 dollars a month, plus gas, plus insurance.
Sure Congress does not care about the price of gas, they don't have to pay for it.... WE DO!!!
Right NOW! we need to drill for oil while we continue to develop other means of energy. Time to ignore the loons that stop us from building Nuclear power stations, time to stop the loons from demanding we "save the Caribou" and demand we start saving ourselves instead.
Right now the biggest transfer of wealth in History is happening, it is going from yours and my pocket into the hands of people that are bent on destroying our way of life, all because of oil that right now there is NO REPLACEMENT FOR!
