America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
Maybe.
Published on July 30, 2008 By Moderateman In US Domestic

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!

It is a great article, MM.  The problem of the ten year lag time is compounded to the ridiculous when you consider the congress was making the same argument TEN YEARS AGO.  But drilling alone will not solve the mess.  We need more refining capacity, and we need them in places closer to the source of the crude.  It is very telling that the majority of our refinery capacity is in the vicinity of seaports...you know, where the tankers from the middle east tie up?

Thank you for the compliment! Every time someone tries to bring a new refinery online the asshat Greenpeace lesbian girly man start screaming "THE ENVIORMENT! THE ENVIORMENT! While driving to the "protest" using the Gasoline provided from oil delivered by a race of people that want to kill America and all that she stands for.

I see the greatest transfer of wealth as that from our pockets to Exxon. Did you see there last profit/loss statement? Good grief.

Sorry, but that is such a typical Democratic talking point, the transfer of wealth YOU are talking about is staying in America, this is a good thing, the transfer of wealth I am talking about is going to nations that hate America. But it was a fair to average try to throw things off subject, while appearing to stay on subject, something the left is very good at.

*smells the air*

Ahhhhhhh, the sweet smell of MM rants.


I find it interesting how Pelosi dismissed for a 5 week vacation instead of dealing with the energy issue. I think it would be incredibly funny if Bush made a call for Congress to come back!


Great article.

Republicans need to hammer away on this issue. McCain could win on the drilling issue alone. The majority of Floridians and Californians have no problem with drilling. They DO have a problem with $4 per gallon and up gasoline.

You have got to be kidding me. Exxon is a multi-national with subsidiaries and shareholders all over the world. Hardly staying in America.

Be well.

Did you see their sales? Did you do the math to find out their ROI? Doubtful. Those who decry the profits want no company to make more than they did some arbitrary years ago, regardless of inflation or increased investment.

This demonizing the oil company profit is stupid and childish. And if followed to its ultimate conclusion, will lead to the destruction of the companies - not relief to any one from high gas prices.

Once again you are dodging the point, there is a huge difference between "shareholder" and lining the pockets of countries that hate us and have direct connections with terror organizations.

Don't fall for it docG while I respect Sodaiho, he is just trying to derail my article with typical lefty talking parrot points. With "THEM" it's always one of two things, big oil/speculators or the environment!
