Presumptive GOP nominee John McCain said today that he was not present for the vote that once again blocked oil drilling in ANWR and 100 miles off the gulf coast (even though Chavez is already drilling in the latter), he was too busy campaigning for a new job.
He did say that if he was there he would have voted to oppose drilling in those areas. Thereby all this talk of energy independence and price relief at the pump amounts to a load of crap.
We cannot have meaningful talk of energy independence and price relief without drilling and digging up our own oil. As mentioned before in this blog, we have 400 years worth of oil within our own borders. Why do we fund terrorists and countries that hate us and want us dead by buying their oil?
Also why do we send all our energy money overseas? Why not build more refining capacity (the last refinery to come on line was over 30 years ago) and expand our oil drilling here? It would create jobs, decrease the trade deficit (by selling the oil on the world market), stimulate our stagnant economy, and reduce prices by increasing supply. Wow, how profound, can it really be that simple. YES! it is. It's simple economics without the load of crap that political correctness piles on top of everything.
Oh but the polar bears, you say? There now an endangered species. Even though their numbers are increasing and higher than they've ever been. Political correctness even has us listing animals that aren't endangered in any way as endangered based on flawed computer models. They can't tell me accurately what the weather will be in three days but you're telling me they can predict a 1 degree increase in global temperatures 40 years from now? Give me a break, anyone with half a brain can see that this is nothing but speculation.
Past 10 year weather patterns show no warming. So the Global Warming fanatics blame global warming for the latest cooling trends. Why not just blame everything on Bush and Global Warming? Oh yeah, that's what the media and brainless leftys do already.
At least Bush wanted to do something about the Oil and Gas crunch 8 YEARS AGO. But he's labeled as the village idiot. He saw this coming, you lefties did not and now you want to blame him.
Freaks.
