since 67% of the American people believe we should drill for our own oil?
 
Liberals seem to be missing the second and more important issue. Independence from foreign dependence on oil; price is only irritating; Independence is necessary!
 
If 67% of the people jumped off the cliff like the lemmings you are calling them, would you join in?
bush had a better that 67% level of support after 9/11, where is it now?
It appears to have "Flip Flopped".
There are times when education does correct stupidity, however ignorance is not treatable it stays with one for a life time.
 
yes, it appears the big oil companies already HAVE thousands of leases to drill and they haven't, preferring to obtaining more leases instead of using their current options--and the right knows this, yet are still pushing to expand their options (to drill) instead of searching for alternative energy sources. Many americans (those under 40) probably don't remember we (america) went through this same situation (gas prices rising rapidly) back in the 70's, and we kinda made a half hearted effort at alternative energy, but after prices stablized, we went back to bigger gas guzzlers. The high cost is here to stay, whether we like it or not--and the only way to combat this is to reduce demand, not by drilling for more oil, but by looking at renewable energy in wind, solar and water.
 
Its going to be hilarious when offshore drilling is allowed and prices still skyrocket because the same pigs are in charge.


Me personally I say drill just to shut you morons up, fact is its not going to effect the price of gas. Go look up the analysis yourself.
 
No because as people learn more about it - the fact that current leases aren't being acted upon by oil companies, the fact that it will take BILLIONS in investment and several years to come to fruition, the fact that it won't make much of a difference on the world market price - I think that number will be VERY different.
