Why isn't this FUCKIN HUGE NEWS!?

[Richardgwm]

It's called selling out. It is what Republicans do.

[RydanDenali]

lol, all this talk of "alternate energy" is just a feint. with this "alternate energy" talk, we're playing right into their hands, this is what they want us to do, this way they can make the cake and eat it without sharing, greedy fuckers, let them become diabetics then they will have no one to blame but theirselves

[weebeecostumes]

I'm not sure why anyone believes that oil found through offshore drilling will be used in and for Americans. The undeserving, moronic CEO's of the oil corporations will certainly sell it on the open market to maximize their profits. China, with that explosively growing economy of theirs, has no compunction about driving up the cost of oil, and the oil companies, with their explosive greed, will sell it to them. The time has come to put our efforts, money and expectations in alternative fuels.

today a tennessee congress woman defended mccain's position by saying loggers can't afford to remove logs from forests because of high gas prices. maybe that's a good thing. the forests convert co2 to oxygen. 70% of children in arizona schools require an asthma inhaler, and mccain is making it happen. we need to get retards out of our government before it's too late. alternative clean energy is available now, but big oil puppets like bush, cheney, and mccain are squashing legislation to fund it.

Even if transportation goes by way of alternative fuel,not one thin dime should ever or have ever gone to undeserving sheiks and morons in the middle east.There will always be a need for some oil even if most alternative needs are met in the future.More money at home means less money abroad where they can buy 1 million dollar license plates.Anyone who opposes or have ever opposed using our own natural resources is a complete idiot.

you are being ignorant, because you didn't hear something every body is against you? wow

[tomsoppe]

ConsortiumNews did 1 study a few years ago. There've been others. Also all you have to do is observe who gets the good v bad coverage, who gets to be commentator, hosts, etc. i.e. KO is the only liberal show on any cable news networks, even CNN and MSNBC that conservatives call lib have multiple consrv. shows. I recommend books What Liberal Media, and Big Lies. I also read Bias by Goldberg, a tangential weak argument. "Lib" NYT is home to Nagourney, Bumiller, J Miller, not so lib.

[MarieFara]

I haven't seen this being talked about in the media. Then again why am I surprised that only the attacks on Obama gets media play.

[Auggie56]

Well Tom, Tell me where you read/heard this ? The New York Times is the biggest liberal Democrat new organisation, and the other news organisations, follow up with the same stories, almost word for word. Look at how much coverage Obama is getting.

[Auggie56]

Don't belive me do you, those gave me thumbs down.HeHeHe
