Lindsey Graham Flip Flopping on Offshore Drilling

[backtotheday]

Biden is the liar here. He is not using facts, he is using "talking points". Fact, no oil spill from offshore drill in 30 YEARS! Fact, oil companies take a long time to get to oil from leases because held up in court from environmental groups. Fact, just because you hold a lease does not mean you can drill. Once you pay for lease, pay for exploration and find oil, you have to PETITION to drill and are often turned down!

When gas is $2 a gallon, then goes from $4 a gallon and you do not change your outlook on the situation, you are a FOOL.

The situation changed, and Graham adapted to the situation at hand. Thats not flip-flopping.

What happened to the word AND?

We can drill AND research fossil fuels.

[backtotheday]

Right. But, we have given in to environmentalists (I hate that word, implies they are the only ones who care when actually they are nut jobs who cry over dead trees). Pelosi and California put too much pressure re offshore drilling. There have been a lot of technology advances in 30 years. And, it is like people think you can flip a switch and now we don't need oil. The other technologies will take years to develop.

Lindsey Graham is a tool. There is NO short in supply, even the Saudis say so.

Clean coal is a JOKE! Cellulosic Ethanol would be good, as well as heavy subsidies of wind and solar energy, but the fact that Obama even SUPPORTS nuclear power, last resort or not, is NOT a good thing! It shouldn't even be considered an option.

Joe Biden is awesome

[Ngooo]

Lindsay Graham got his ass owned on this subject.

[getplaning]

Oil and gas has tripled under the Bush administration. Demand for oil has not. The price of oil will come down once the hedge funds who have used their 16-to-1 lines of credit to create artificial demand via the futures exchanges unwind their positions. Graham and all the other idiots in the Republican party are even easier to manipulate than the price of oil!

[maximusart]

Graham is about as solid as a Graham cracker in water... Is he gay? He's got that Ted Haggard look in his eye.. "Haggardish" Some of those word pronounciation with the lisp ... I bet he's gayer than a 3 dollar bill....not that there is anything wrong with that... but I bet he gets it packed nightly... He's got Jelly mixed in his peanutbutter... KY that is..

[maestrogringo]

Yet another thing that has disappointed me about Obama: he wants to build new nuclear power plants! :( I guess that's real CHANGE for ya, we haven't had new nuke plants for a while now, let's start generating even more radioactive waste for this planet. I'm usually not so cynical or pessimistic about the future of the US, but it doesn't look like we'll be much better off with Obama as president. He was so promising, he's just been bought off like the rest of the politicians in Washington :(

Go to hell Lindsey!

[baronderothchild]

give it up for life-long bachelor Lindsey Graham...no, he's not gay..he just likes to cuddle men and suck on a little penis every once in a while...just like every other republican.

[SgtMcCuddles]

john mccain is a fossil fuel...

[officialusa]

The price of oil is NOT a supply and demand problem... it is speculation. Graham can not hear the facts because his head is up mccains ass.
