Typical spoiled Americans! Thanks for stopping by!

There is no reason not to drill for oil in American seas. If you see how it's going on on oil matters, you easily understand that someone woulda begun drilling soon, after all, we need oil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045677288563865851.post-66132039091036440422008-07-16T09:58:00.000-04:002008-07-16T09:58:00.000-04:00Well, well, we all know how California will go on ...Well, well, we all know how California will go on Offshore Drilling!

Now, I'm in favor of lifting the ban. But, I'd love see that vote because I want to see how Lindsey Grahm, Elizabeth Dole, Saxby Chambliss, Johnny Isakson and other Republicans will vote. Some of their wealthiest constituents own multi-million dollar homes in coastal communities. I've noticed that when interviewed, they hedge and won't offer full support for a complete lifting of the ban. They want the states to decide, which means they want drilling everywhere but in their own state. I'll be watching their words closely.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779197916443212469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045677288563865851.post-62831787506547664562008-07-15T10:04:00.000-04:002008-07-15T10:04:00.000-04:00Thanks for stopping by Lee!

Some thing like this: "Coal makes us sick, oil makes us sick...", and then some babble about alternatives that we've just got to find.
