I will continue to feed my muscle car because when I am in that car either at the race track or just cruising around, I feel the American dream.

I am not going to let the "left" take that away from me.

The left wont have to. The energy crisis will.

That is why we should drill in alaska and start looking for different energy.... We shouldn't let the oil companies buy the other ways up, we are going to have to find a different source sometime, until then drill in alaska to keep my gas prices down, or you know what?? since all of you liberals say we are in IRAQ for oil and won't shut ur freakin mouth we might as well take the oil which reminds me, in a little while Iraq is going to be getting back on it's feet and will need to start paying us back, which all they have is oil so I guess that is what they would use to repay us and wow i can't wait for that

By the year 2025 we will only be 3% less dependent on foreign oil because of Alaska. It is meaningless.

hence me saying wha ti said about IRAQ and 3% is still less is it not
Less, yes, but barely. It won't make us any less dependent on foreign oil. Thus it is not worth it, at all, whatsoever. It is all about greed and not about anything worthwhile.

3% is a big number when you are talking about billions of barrels.

But it won't even make a dent in the overall problem. Spend the money that we would have used in Alaska for alternate energy research if you actually want to address the problem.

If you want a lack of forethought (which seems to be the American way), then slap a band-aid on the gusher.

or you know use the money and drill in alaska saving us money by not having to pay so much to the towel heads, and if we take money away from the stupid welfare program and make it so it helps get them jobs instead of just giving them money we won't be losing out on money... a win-win situation

Gotta attack the Bush agenda 110%.

I havn't seen one thing that the left has supported. Why can't they come up with plans instead of just saying "NO"?!?

Towel heads? And you say you aren't rascist?

So it is the left's job now? It is EVERYONE'S duty to help clean up the environment. And I would say the left has cared more about that then the people that claim to care about God and God's creation. Do you guys want the rapture to be self inflicted or what?

Not all people are poor because they're lazy. Not everyone on the welfare program is just trying to get a free ride. It wouldn't be right to ruin it for those who actually need the money and can't support themselves without it.

And 'towell head' is a very disrespectful term, don't act like you know what kind of people they are. Grow up, kid.

It's called a turbin. Don't be so ignorant.
