Poor Al Gore. If I was married to Tipper for 38 years, I would probably be crazy, too. Here is latest craziness from Big Al:
%u201CThe idea that we can drill our way out of this is just so absurd,%u201D Big Al said, comparing the push for offshore oil drilling %u2014 which has gained popularity and put environmentalists on the defense %u2014 to dealing with a hangover by having another drink."
For "not one drop spilled", a quarter of a million gallons sounds like an awful lot of nothing. I don''''t know about the rest of the country, but I for one am really, really tired of being lied to about everything. Posted by psk123 at 10:15 AM : Jul 21, 2008
It''s sort of puzzling to me, Americans seem to have great complacence toward dishonesty. Republicans, especially, are not even ashamed being caught out in a lie. The one big exception, I guess, is Bill Clinton when the Republicans went after him for his lie about Monica. But in light of all the lying and deception and shading and spin that coming in a torrent from that side of the political divide, I suspect the moral outrage is just hypocrisy. A cover. A lie too.
For me, it''s like three strikes and you''re out. I have stopped listening to Bush and his surrogates in the media a while back. Don''t think McCain can change the culture here. Or he wouldn''t running as a Republican.
The Democrats are why we don''t have "domestic" energy sources.
They have been paid for decades to block such development by one of their "big donors and special interest groups", Environmentalists.
The Enviro''s have contributed 10''s of millions of dollars to the Dems campaigns...................and in return the Dems block the ability of US companies to drill for more oil.
............build new oil refineries
..............build any new nuclear power plants (France has built 60 new ones since we were ALLOWED to build our last one in the 1970''s)
The Democrats should be throw out of office for looking after their Big Donor instead of the American people.........!

We have all heard the kitchen chair being pushed across the floor to the counter. We have all heard the cookie jar lid being taken off. It is time we all noticed that the owner of the hand in the cookie jar already has cookie crumbs all over his face and that once full jar is *** near empty.
"Don''t worry about it baby, there is no boogie-man under the bed." Well ladies and gents, boys and girls, it is long past the time to start to worry. The boogie-man really is there and has grown quite large. It was predicted in the 1970s that oil would be in short supply by this time. Time to take our heads out of the sand and realize that the proverbial "good times" are over and we really have to get moving forward finding (and using) energy alternatives to fossil fuels.
According to July 20 AP News, Obama and his congressional pals have the answer to oil shortage and high gas prices..."lawmakers quietly are talking about raising fuel taxes by a dime from the current 18.4 cents a gallon on gasoline and 24.3 cents on diesel fuel."
"a total volume of 17,652 barrels (or roughly three-quarters of a million gallons) of total petroleum products, of which 13,137 barrels were crude oil and condensate, was spilled from platforms, rigs and pipelines. 4,514 barrels were refined products from platforms and rigs."
You''re too rough on the Republicans.
"...roughly three-quarters of a million gallons" was spilled.
Three quarter million gallons isn''t "one drop".
Let me see lie to me once fox news (Obama is a muslim no he is a christain) I can forgive lie to me twice fox news (Obama went to a muslim school no he did not see cnn they inteviewed the school), I am having trouble with your credibility faux news. Lie to me three times (not a drop of oil spilled as long as you don''t count almost a million barrels) you know what faux news you are not a news station and those that use you for a source are morons just like your fake news station.
/* My SUV is not the problem. */ Unless you need the capacity to do your job or to otherwise haul a lot of things, it IS part of the problem. Most of these monsters seem to be driven by sparrow-sized women who claim that they "feel safer", even though many SUV''s rate poorly because of their high centers of gravity, poor visibility, and truck-body construction. So they waste oceans of gas going back and forth to the store, protecting bags of groceries with 3 tons of metal, sucking up gas that won''t be available for anyone or anything else. How come the rest of the world can manage without these dinosaurs?
U.S. = 5% of world''s population, 25% of world''s energy use.
Electricity is generated by fossil fuels along with your computer and just about everything that surrounds you. The way I see it for you to make a real difference is to change the way you think about being a consumer of oil. My SUV is not the problem... Posted by wading1222 at 04:18 PM : Jul 20, 2008
Electricity is generated by other means besides burning fossil fuels. One good upside to the skyrocketing price of gas and the threat of global warming is that the transition to economies fueled by renewables will accelerate. If the cost of driving your SUV is not a problem for you, it already is for many.

If you want to talk about animals, make it dinosaurs. OIL is this discussion.
Bible class is the fifth door on the right.

"...roughly three-quarters of a million gallons" was spilled.
Three quarter million gallons isn''t "one drop".
Republican logic...
Enough is enough vote against neo cons.
