Extreme Greenies:see now why we push"drill,baby,drill"of known reserves&promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?

1. No. I don't get it.
Because it's stupid, greedy and shortsighted. I only get what is common sensical, wise, prudent, and beneficial for the Seven Generations.

2. Must be the latest freeper line.
My coworker was spouting the other day that if we allowed companies to drill closer to shore, this would never have happened, and if it did there would be no problem cleaning it up.

6. Soooo If the oil companies were allowed unlimited drilling anywhere on shore, they would NEVER
try to tap the billions of dollars worth of oil that are offshore?????

Why do I think that is a huge crock of crapola?????????


Why do I even bother to find logic in anything that empty-headed twit says?

11. Nope, Palin pushed Drill Baby Drill
For drilling anywhere within or off the coasts of the US, the result being that we could allegedly reduce our dependence on imported oil from other countries.

Which was BS to begin with, since all oil produced is temporarily the property of the global corporate capitalist oil companies, not the US government, and much of it is ultimately sold to the highest bidder in the global marketplace.

OPEC would likely respond to a "glut" of oil, influenced by increased production in the US by cutting production themselves.

The US has only so many refineries anyway, so even an increase of say 10% in production would not result in a "home discount" for US consumers by Big Oil...lol!!

12. thanks I've been having trouble with this most recent blame the Democrats game
I couldn't imagine what they had to gain with this news spin where it's somehow the environmentalists fault that we're deep-water drilling. I forgot how they've been licking their chops over ANWR for all these years.

19. I guess we can thank
John McCain and the Right wing nuts for demanding she be a Vice Presidential candidate. Now we can't get rid of her.

Is there anything she won't comment about? Does she really think she has the answers to everything?

I wish she would give us all a break and just go away.
