RE: You are a racist bigot of the first order. Let me guess; you voted for George W. Bush twice.
You - and people like you - are the reason Western Pennsylvania is the armpit of the country. Of course you - and people like you - have never left the familiar racist confines of the area.

Pa. is run by Dems. If it is the armpit of the country, blame Rendell.

The name "Walking Eagle" was given to Obama, one chief said, "We Indians try to name someone in the way we see them. In this case we named Mr. Obama Walking Eagle, as he reminds us of bird too full of poop to fly."

Never fails....can't argue the point, start calling names...

By the way I am not a "neocon" not that there is something wrong with that term you made up "lib" but I consider myself a traditional conservative or "tradcon" for you name callers...lol

RE: 07/02/08 (08)
Hypocricy implies that the people you speak of do not have true beliefs. My guess is that they have or had the true belief, but were perverted by the likes of you and what this country has become over the past 30 years.

They have strayed, but at least they have the foundation and can find their way home. I only pray that some day you find the Light and realize how far you have strayed. I would say God Bless you, but I am sure that would be an insult so I will merely say "Good Luck"

RE: 07/02/08 (09) The best thing you can do is call and keep calling your Representatives and Senators while they are home on break. If their phones are jammed the entire break they will realize that We the People are serious about energy. Nothing will probably happen until the election because this is turning into something the Republicans can and will run on, and the Democrats would rather see us suffer...!

You democrats really don't have a clue do you? The stimulus check is money from your 2009 tax refund / liabilty. An advance thats all it is. Get the facts.
RE: Silly republican!!! Once again spewing falsehoods. The letter that came with your stimulus check clearly states this is not an advance on 2009 tax refund / liability!!!

The U.S.'s unwavering support of Israel has resulted in:
a) The attacks of 9/11
b) The widespread hatred of the U.S. throughout the world and, especially, the Middle East
c) Trillions of dollars in armaments
d) Middle East unrest and with it $140.00 a barrel oil

Jews have occupied Palestine for 60+ years. The U.S has occupied Iraq for 5 years and counting. Since when does an occupation result in peace? Answer: NEVER!

It's time for Jews to leave Palestine and the U.S. to get the **** out of Iraq.

King George II has taken 423 days of vacation since he's been in office.

That's unfortunate. The world would be a better place if he'd have taken 7 1/2 years of vacation.

Just think folks, in six short months we rid ourselves of this smirking, incompetent, ignorant slacker FOREVER!!!!
Happy days are here again, the Bush reign of terror is almost ever.

John McClone, December 2007: “The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should"

John McClone, July 2008: "I’m very strong on the economy. I understand it".

Is it possible McClone is dumber than Dubya?
The new McClone campaign slogan: Vote for me, I'm like the moron you're used to.

the guy was far more believable than unbelievable. the trouble is you republicans want to blame the democrats for not drilling in alaska when that may not be true. maybe theres more to this whole thing than we all knew. the dems should call their bluff.

Yes, Dems, please call their bluff. Drill in Alaska.

RE: 07/1/08 (11)
<sigh>...again, you confuse conservative with republican. The problem with the "golden age" as you call it is that there were a bunch of republicans who said that they were conservative but acted as if they were not once in office. Even your candidates act like they are conservative until elected...face it the majority of Americans, Democrat, Independant, or Republican are conservative.

You have room to talk about forcing views down someone's throat. Teaching kids about gay couples, handing out condoms in schools. Not being able to say Jesus in public, the list goes on and on. If anyone is forcing anything, my friend, it is the liberals. We are reclaiming America to what it once was, you are perverting it into some mutant anarchy.

Thank God for Bush and his Supreme Court appointments.... "From my cold, dead hands!!!"

Maybe not but he has the name of one. It is an insult to elect him. Who ran those planes into the Trade Center? People with muslim names. His cabinet is going to look like a rerun of soul train.

Today's paper had an article stating that bottled water averages out to $4.00 a gallon and is usually just tap water. If we stop buying bottled water, we can use the money to buy gasoline. Don't drink the gas, and don't put the water in your gas tank.

RE
So you know, the stimulus act was approved by the democrat controlled congress, so was the war, and all the suplimental funding.
The money for the "stimulus" pack is not from china, It was borrowed from Japan.
I think the whole idea of it is stupid, cut taxes and let us spend the money all year instead of waiting for a check.

Good post, and to the previous poster who is worried about the cost of the stimulus package, there is a solution. Stick to you principles: return the check. It is not mandatory that you cash it.

..I am sure that there are many closet conservatives on the left...
Only the decadent, immoral values that the left holds dear could be considered worth talking about. Lets face it who wants to talk about a gay or feminist that stays home to read the bible and pray...???

No need to fear neocon, the two Moral Crusaders for the loony Right - David Vitters and Larry Craig - are co-sponsoring a Senate bill to forever change the U.S. Constitution just to make sure some gay people don’t have a wedding.

What will these fearless Moral Crusaders do next, criminalize prostitution and cruising men's bathrooms?

We may be decadent, but you people have to be the BIGGEST HYPOCRITES ON THE PLANET!!!!!

I don't care if it's a republican, a democrat or an independent but someone better figure out a way to bring more gas to the market.
I don't want to hear about "alternate" or "renewable" resources. I owe 4 years of payments on a car that runs on GAS.
It gets good milage (30mpg on a bad day) but still, I bought it when gas and food where cheaper so the higher prices hurt.
How many of you can run out and buy a car that runs on something else? I am sure many of you also have a car that is not paid off and also runs on gas.
Drill here, if the market has more supply then there is less demand and the speculators will see that as well and not bid it up.
It's simple economic sense and it will cripple the country if not dealt with.

Keep it up. You know Obama isn't Muslim. Your lies, mud slinging, fear mongering, and race baiting won't work. The country has grown tired of you sickos. Last November was the tip of the iceberg. This November you will get slaughtered.

when gas is 6.00 a gallon by november and mccain is calling for drilling in alaska and offshore and obama has his hands over his eyes and ears with NO ANSWERS who do you think we are going to vote for. AND I'M A DEMOCRAT !!!

No you're not. You're a democrat wannabe.

According to many reports Barack Hussein Obama did attend Muslim Schools. Maybe his teachers are wrong, or his book is wrong. His problem is the fact he went from Muslim to Black Liberation Theology. You can't say with a straight face that this con artist actually sat in the same church that the Rev. Wright preached his hate against America, and Barack had no clue what was going on.
Give me a break!! When he actually does spill the truth out, who will know the difference?
If he keeps spouting off his big mouth, expect to be paying $7 a gallon for gas, because the Canadians are feed up with his double talk. They may cut off our oil supply.
Let's elect Laura Bush, because these other runners are clueless.

The U.S government? No, Bush has already spent more federal money than all of presidents who preceded him.

Answer: The same people who are paying for George Bush's war - the Chinese.

Instead of getting money back from the government, those of you who voted for this clown should pay back your portion of Bush's war debt; about 30K for every man, woman, and child.

Bush has buried this and future generations in mountains of debt, now owed to COMMUNIST CHINA.

Perhaps the next election you'll think before you vote for a dimwitted, cowboy wannabe.

Right and John Kerry couldnt win in 04 with gas prices high, the country at war.....Even though the majority of Americans are Democrat.....Oh I forgot to get them to vote you have to register them, then hopefully it isnt raining out, then drive them to the polling place and after they vote promise them lunch, then you might just get a sizeable Democrat turnout.

Being stupid has its benefits. Yesterday George W. Bush gave credit to his clone, John McSame, for the passage of the DEMOCRATIC bill awarding college educations for military vets.
McSame opposed the bill.

Republicans - We "support the troops" Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

The troops are merely disposible tools for the Republican goal of world domination.

I have noticed that a lot of people think we are living in a world that is dated September 10, 2001. There are no threats to our security, and we will always be safe. This type of thinking will lead to certain destruction of our country.
I remember an article in the Ellwood City Ledger after Sept.11,2001. George Bush was pictured and said: I will do everything in my power to protect America from any more attacks.

So far,---no attacks. How many of you could have believed that there would not be any more attacks?

With July 4th approaching, we should give thanks to all our military personal who defend our country, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365(or 366) days a year.

Without these brave men and women, we would live in constant fear.
To all you brave military personnel--THANK YOU.

My friend in your lust to retailiate against comment which does not conform to your distorted view of the world you have confused Republicans with Conservatives.

Of course the list you repeatedly post could be disputed as lies, but since you are blind to anything other than your own political views it is pointless to waiste the time...DUH...

Re: The perversions of Larry Craig, David Vitters, Toe Sucking Dick Morris, Oxy Rush Liebaugh, etc. aren't lies. What you hoiler-than-thou "conservatives" don't understand is your Puritan ideals lead to these types of sexual peversions.
2000 to 2006 was the golden age of Conservative governess in this country. Was Roe v. Wade overturned? Was morality legislated?
Do us all a huge favor and quit shoving your Puritan belief system down our throats. Until - at least - you get your own houses in order.

Get used to it folks, the world no longer feels sorry for Americans. High energy prices are here to stay. And the rest of the world is jumping for joy watching pompous, arrogant America's slow and steady decline.

You changed the subject. You did not answer the original question. Name one thing BHO has done.

RE: You people just don't get it. It doesn't matter what BHO has or hasn't "done". Now pay very, very, very close attention: Barack Obama will win in November for one reason only: HE'S NOT GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!! We will never allow our country to be hyjacked again by a corrupt, neocon, incompetent, fear mongerer like GWB. NEVER!!!!

Again, no answer. Let me remind you, George Bush is not running.

What is with you people, isn't the left supposed to be the "well educated" portion of the population. Don't you understand what a metaphor is. Yes, he would be considered a "bad apple."

I am sure that there are many closet conservatives on the left, but you don't hear about them because by definition the life and actions of a typical conservative are not scandalous. Only the decadent, immoral values that the left holds dear could be considered worth talking about. Lets face it who wants to talk about a gay or feminist that stays home to read the bible and pray...???


06/30/08 (01)
RE: 06/26/08 (03)

You are incorrect, I did mention those "bad apples" apparently you do not understand the concept of a metaphore.

On the other hand, I DID NOT mention "the sexual perverts and gay bathroom trolls who profess to be" liberal, you see, I did not have to because it is assumed that those type of people flock to the liberal side.

You can try to make your ethical equilivancies with me, but it will not work. We are all fallen. We all sin. But there is a difference between those who know what they have done is wrong and regret their decisions, and those who embrace them and share them with the world for their own comfort. They think because misery loves company and they have a little group of others that feel the same way that there is nothing wrong. Shame to some degree is not a bad thing, it keeps one humble, a trait rarely if ever seen on the left....

Another example of the Right-Wing cancer growing in America:

An excerpt from the Michael Savage radio show,
"We're getting refugees now who have never used a telephone, a toothbrush, or toilet paper. You're telling me they're going to assimilate? They come here and they bring their destitute ways to this country, and they never assimilate." He continued: "And then their children become gang-bangers."

America is doomed my friends. It's doomed because of the poison spewing from the mouths of these Cro-Magnon right wing lunatics.
The U.S.A - May it Rest in Peace

06/30/08 (06)
no wonder this town is dying.
sure you come up with cute little names like "rethuglican" and "McSame".
I will agree that things are not real good right now but for goodness sakes, do you really believe one man can do all that harm? If so then he is way more intteligent than anyone gives him credit for.
There is enough blame to go around.
And I will tell you this, Most of us true republicans cannot stand Mccain. He has more in common with Hillary Clinton than he does ANY true conservitve. I don't think he can fix this country but I would hope to have him LIMIT ANY more damage.
If you really want to see damage, go ahead and elect this Obama, you all need to wake up and see whats really going on. And truth be told, I don't think either of them are eligible legaly to be president.

Another reason the world hates the U.S. (besides George W. Bush):

The U.S. has 3 percent of the world's oil reserves but uses 40% of the world's oil. Americans arrogantly feel cheap oil and gasoline is a birthright. On the other hand, European countries have been paying high gasoline prices for years.

Get used to it folks, the world no longer feels sorry for Americans. High energy prices are here to stay. And the rest of the world is jumping for joy watching pompous, arrogant America's slow and steady decline.

Some inspirational thoughts from the decider of the free world:

"I want to tell you how proud I am to be the President of a nation that -- in which there's a lot of Philippine-Americans. They love America and they love their heritage. And I reminded the President that I am reminded of the great talent of the -- of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House."
--George W. Bush, referring to White House chef Cristeta Comerford while meeting with Filipino President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Washington, D.C., June 24, 2008

"And I, unfortunately, have been to too many disasters as president."
--George W. Bush, discussing flooding in the Midwest, Washington, D.C., June 17, 2008

"There is some who say that perhaps freedom is not universal. Maybe it's only Western people that can self-govern. Maybe it's only, you know, white-guy Methodists who are capable of self-government. I reject that notion."
--George W. Bush, London, June 16, 2008

"The German asparagus are fabulous."
--George W. Bush, Meseberg, Germany, June 11, 2008

"We got plenty of money in Washington. What we need is more priority."

WASHINGTON (FOX) -- The Bush administration has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday.

"They believe that their mission is to make sure that before Bush and Cheney get out of office next year, either Iran is attacked or it stops its weapons program," Hersh said.

Bush has said "all options" are open in dealing with the issue.

It appears the country has grown tired of Republican bungling, ineptitude, war and fear mongering, callousness, racism, zenophobia, criminal activities, sexual perversions, etc.

The stock market is a free fall.
The housing market is a disaster.
Oil prices are at all time highs.
Unemployment rates are climbing.
Manufacturing jobs are being lost at record rates.

George W. Bush is blaming Bill Clinton, liberals, the Democratic Congress, sun spots, Iranians, Saddam Hussien, 9/11, al Quidda, illegal Mexicans, lazy New Orleans, etc. for these economic problems.

It makes perfect sense to a perfectly insane George W. Bush.

RE: Good news for conservatives. Yesterday Master Bible Thumper and noted "conservative" Ted Haggard announced he completed a "Spiritual Restoration" program and is no longer homosexual.

You can't make this stuff up folks. Here's an idea: why doesn't the government give conservatives Montana and Idaho so they can:
1) Keep out all illegal brown skins
2) Sit around camp fires and sing cum-ba-ya
3) Propagate their Master Race
4) Watch Fox News 24/7
5) Pray to George W. Bush for eternal salvation
6) Read their Ann Coulter bibles

3. Support of the Fairness(unfair) Doctrine.
4. More aid to the inner cities.
5. He has support of most terrorist networks.
6. Government takeover of the oil companies.
7. Windfall profits tax.
8. Canadian style health care.

To everybody who has even 1 ounce of belief that their is a God, you had better get on your knees and pray like you have never prayed before. Our country is on the verge of collapse from within. The recent rulings from the Supreme Court are just one example.
Our country is called "UNITED" States. Why are we so divided?
Democrats vote what their leaders say. Republicans vote what their leaders say.
When elected to represent the people, one requirement is to leave your brain outside.
Will we ever get representation for important issues such as lower fuel costs, quality education, Fair Tax, border security, etc.?
The time is coming when the people are going to say: "We have had enough." When that day comes, no politician will be safe.

the only real CHANGE this country needs right now is to supply our own energy and not have to buy it for enormous prices from countries that are taking our money and building their countries and military and will one day turn their guns on us. we need to drill offshore in every state including alaska that its ""people support drilling"". if the people of alaska overwhelmingly support drilling there as they do then what right does the democrat party and it fruitcakes have to block it. THAT NOT DEMOCRACY MY FELLOW DEMOCRATS. wake up and realize what your doing to our country. if i was john mccain i'd take this argument to the ammerican people and let them decide. let them say he flipflopped all they want because dire times like these call for drastic action and its better to flipflop from WRONG TO RIGHT EVERY TIME !!!!

I am an independant and read these posts every day out of curiosity of what people are saying. I rarely post, but I feel the need to at this point because I am noticing a trend. Nearly every democratic post I read is filled with name calling, emotion, and innuendo. Much of the rebuttal of the Republican or conservatives are fact based and filled with logic. It seems to me that if you let your emotions rule your world you are liberal, if you let your logic rule your world you are conservative. Not to mention the liberal posts seem to be much more ignorant and arrogant. I would much rather live in a logical world than an emotional one. There are other factors influencing my decision besides this blog, but I think I will vote Republican this year.

The independent U.S. Energy Commission estimates that drilling in ANWR and coastal waters would lower gasoline prices "less than 10 cents per gallon" in approximatly "ten to fifteen years".

The same group estimates unregulated speculators are adding "40 to 50 dollars per barrel of oil".

Of course, the simple minded George W. Bush's answer to high gas prices is "drill".

If Bush said it, it has to be wrong. AGAIN!!!!

06/25/08 (05)
To 06/23/08 (03)

I'm someone who's doing research to just find out the facts. I'm a college student who just came home and is now having to pay a dollar more a gallon for gas than he remembers from last year. I'm not interested in "Ha! Gotcha!" and anything else like that which goes on at this website. I want to find an informed opinion on oil and the price flux. I don't care if it's the Democratic, Republican, Socialist, liberal, conservative, Constitution, or Communist way. I'm looking for a way that will actually help the American people.

So who's side am I on? I'm with anyone that will do research WITH me to figure out and devise an informed opinion on where to go from here.

It's time for J Gibbons and every other legislator who voted for that oppressive no-smoking law to be thrown out on their ear. America has seen quite enough of the wild proliferation of police powers and nanny-state intrusions into every aspect of personal life. Don't say a word about the "dangers" of second-hand smoke. All of those statistics were cooked for political purposes, as anyone who has actually researched the topic knows.
We deserve courageous leadership, not the gutless conformity of lightweights fearful of opposing whatever is the current trend. When citizens are sitting in jail cells for the possession of a Marlboro, you'll know that that America's fear-inspired obsession with criminalizing all manner of personal conduct has reached its logical conclusion.

Mike Erickson is the Republican candidate for the 5th Congressional District of Oregon and is running on a "pro-life" platform.

It turns out Erickson had paid for his girlfriend's abortion in 2005.

Anyone who votes for these holier-than-thou Republican phonies get exactly what they deserve - Larry Craig, David Vitters, Mark Foley, Rudy Giuliani, Don Sherwood, Bob Allen, etc...

They oppose abortion until they need one.
They oppose gays until they're caught in a men's room.
They are religious when it's politically convenient.
They are for gun rights until someone close to them gets shot.
They are anti-government spending and run up the largest deficits in history.

06/24/08 (01) "Pardon the expression, but isn't that the pot calling the kettle black...."

Yes, it is, but hypocrisy has never stopped them before. If you want to know what the Democrats are up to simply look at what they accuse other people of doing. They say something is bad while they do it themselves. Sometimes, like in this case, they claim it is revenge because it was done to them--or so they say.

06/25/08 (22)
06/24/08 (09) "It will take this, and about 100 more Congresses, to undo the destruction levied on us by the Bush Mafiaso."

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the justification for the Democratic Party not doing a thing when it gets into power. They know even now they are not going to do anything.

i've been following the post on lindsey williams and the non-energy crisis. i have found nearly everything he said to be true and he said it long before it happened. keep your eyes on israel and iran right now and if israel or bush attack iran then this guy is 100% on target and america is headed for the darkest times anyone has seen. DON'T IGNORE THIS WARNING !!

I sure can't wait until Obama gets elected President. I am so anxious to see what change he has in store for us. We should also vote out any government official who has a (R) after their title. Now we will be ready for total destruction of the United States. On the count of 3 everybody say Communist. That's where we're headed.

06/23/08 (20) "The oil we extract from U.S. soil IS NOT OUR OIL!!!!!! It is sold to the highest bidder on a worldwide commodities market."

And a good thing that it is because most of our oil comes from overseas, currently. So, you honestly think if we export something we are no longer the source? How does that work? Such a statement does not behoove you to be depreciating the merits of others. However, considering we import oil it only makes sense that what oil we produce here is going to stay here.

Oh, well, just wait for the 2008 Congress. Or maybe 2010. And then when they do nothing it will be blamed on the GOP MINORITY. I actually remember this from 1992: the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House and Dems were still crying about Republican gridlock. Unfortunately for them it led to 1994.

I remember a letter to the editor in one of the Pittsburgh papers in which the writer complained about "this Republican gridlock." I wish I had saved it because I realized that the writer was repeating a word and didn't even know what gridlock meant.

RE: 06/23/08 (11)

If you knew anything about economics you would understand that as prices increase over a specific price, demand decreases. In the long run, if prices stay high, you could lose your market to another product all together. The oil companies want prices to be high enough to make a profit, but not so high that it decreases demand. They also want to limit competition from other energy (in this case) sources to keep their market share. So in other words they want to bring prices down to the point where the market for oil will reach equalibrium, that is the point where they will make the most money for the longest time.

06/24/08 (13)
Senator Phil Gramm, a Texas republican who serves as McBush's co-chairman and economic advisor, inserted a provision into a bill in late 2000 at the behest of Enron lobbyists that exempted energy traders from government oversight. Note: Congress was controlled by republicans at this time.

Yup, a republican from Texas. Are you surprised?

This "Enron loophole" allows speculators to run up the cost of fuel by operating outside federal regulation.

Oil closed near $135 a barrel last Friday---almost double the price of a year ago.

Charlie Black, a senior adviser to John McCain, said Monday he regrets his comments to Fortune Magazine suggesting a terrorist attack on the United States would benefit the Arizona senator's presidential campaign.

He obviously does not think before he speaks. Not a good choice for McBush.

The fact that John McCain’s top advisor says that a terrorist attack on American soil would be a ‘big advantage’ for their political campaign is a complete disgrace, and is exactly the kind of politics that needs to change.

06/24/08 (17)
A senior adviser to John McCain said a terrorist attack on American soil would be a "big advantage" to the Republican candidate's election campaign.

Just what I suspected. Without 9/11 Bush would NEVER had been re-elected. Without another 9/11 type of attack McCain will NEVER be elected.

History will prove 9/11 was hatched and carried out with the full knowledge of the Bush La Cosa Nostra. bin Ladin was kept alive to prevent a Bush impeachment. And another attack is in the planning stages to assure a McCain victory in November.

wait a minute. you mean to tell us that theres enough oil on the north slope of alaska to fuel america for 200 years and were paying 4.00 a gallon for it from the arabs. if this is true then the american people better wake up because were heading for 10.00 a gallon in the next few years. thats not counting your gas and electric bills. how many of us will survive. crime will become more and more rampant as people wont be able to feed their families. this video was shocking to say the least.

you didnt listen good enough to the video. the day america drills in alaska is the end of america. it can never happen. go back and listen to that video again. 1 hour of your time will change your view of whats been happening in america and whos the blame and whats coming to america in the very near future. you can just about bet that bush will bomb iran before he leaves office because if iran opens up its oil fields and floods the market with cheaper oil and denominates in currency in the euro instead of the dollar then americas economy will collapse immediatly. are you getting the picture yet as to why the bush administration is hell bent on iran ? they already got sadaam and stopped him from doing it.

06/24/08 (19)
We shouldn't allow the oil companies to take oil from "our" land unless it is sold only on "our" land. We also should refuse to use any oil that was not taken from "our" land.

As for Barack Obama and the Iraq War: Bush and Congress signed a joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War on October 2, 2002. On that night, Obama addressed an anti-war rally voicing his opposition. At this time, he was in the Illinois senate.

Vote for Obama. While the nation is under attack, you can count on him to lead peace rallies.

Sounds like the only one wining here is you. The rest of us are looking for solutions to the issue where you are saying, "Just deal with it." They said the same thing in the 70's, put on a sweater and turn down your thermostat.... This is a market fluctuation and energy prices will come back into line once the people like you are squashed and solutions are implemented. It may take some time, but it is inevitable. On the other hand, your suggestion is never ending suffering. How pathetic that some in our country have fallen so far. We used to be a country of "can do" people, now many of use have the philosophy of "take what we are given" give us a break and suffer in private while the rest of use look for a solution for you!

Oil production of OPEC countries has increased from ~23000 b/d to ~29000 b/d in that time period. So production has increased. The big problem is that consumption in countries like China and India has outstripped that increase.

06/23/08 (04)
We shouldn't allow any oil company to take oil from OUR land unless all the oil they bring up from OUR land is used IN our land. If we open up the Alaskan or offshore areas to drilling there are currently no restrictions on where the oil companies could sell the oil they produce. They would sell OUR oil to China and India or any one else willing to pay for the highest price they could get. The only way to get cheap gas is to nationalize the oil companies so our government would control the oil. I can't see any right-wing Republicans going for that idea, aren't they all for privatization??????????? Isn't that what Venezuela did?? If our goverment required restrictions on the oil leases that said any oil from OUR land had to be used IN our land, the oil companies would not even bid on the leases, they are, after all, for-profit companies. There are no quick fixes to this problem, as much as we would like to see one. The rest of the world has no sympathy for us, Europe has learned to live with high energy costs for decades, we can too, but we're going to have to quit whining about our situation and LEARN TO DO WTH LESS. We will always need oil but we can never be independent of foreign oil AT THE RATE AT WHICH WE HAVE BEEN WASTING IT. Welcome to the real world economy, the one that everyone but us has had to learn how to deal with. Our government has let us down, our automakers are behind the times, and we are also at fault for believing the politicans who have been telling us that everything is rosy. The person who is selling easy solutions to ease your pain is only hoping to get elected, he knows there is no easy way out but he isn't going to admit it until he is safely in office. Quit being a flock sheep and start thinking about what you can do to elect people with valid long-term solutions. The last oil crises we endured so many years ago were of short duration. This present situation is for the rest of your life, so get over it, get used to it, and prepare for it. SAD but true.

When Obama ran for the Senate in 2004, he emphasized his opposition to the war as his main platform.

"Please, please, please turn off Fox Noise and do some research on your own."

At least two of us did the research. It wasn't hard at all. And not one of our sources was Fox News; no, not a one. Here they are again and they include the State of Alaska and the National Council for Science and the Environment.
