Oil drilling? Oh, yah. THAT problem

Well, someone said that by the time Congress gets around to voting on a drilling bill to address $140/bbl oil and $4/gal gasoline, and EVEN BIGGER problem will be dominating the headlines. I wondered how that could be possible.

NOW I KNOW.

What next...

instead of doing bills through the session they *** around till the last day and then agree to each other lets pass everything we want. These people are not qualified to run this country they need to be in a jail somewhere and paying restitution

It is about time that someone pulled their head out of their a.s.s.,we should have been drilling 20 friggin yrs. ago.Oh the poor polar bears I forgot.I guess God wanted us to be the dominate species on this planet,since we are made in his image.It is called the cycle of the food chain,we aren''t going to go back to riding horses so polar bears can eat you if they get a chance anyway''s.

l martin we are the biggest fools for letting them stay in office the grand illusion is there are not two parties on the inside only very organized crooks who make it appear otherwise to the people they promise everything then do as they please ..to the highest bidder

congress could not pass any legislation this year due to its refusal to represent the people, however in the last 8 days they have managed to waste over 500 billion more behind closed doors with most of that earmarked for the illegal privatized war, and now they are giving out billions to every aspect of Corporate America who has their hand out, offering the same deals to foreign banks,these are the same people who would not come to the cries of help after natural disasters in this country , other than to turn their heads when the insurance industry screwed millions of people i remember them saying we cant afford 100 billion to rebuild storm damage....but they can expedite a trillion to their causes now? GIVE US A BREAK
