Bob Barr: Energy Policy & ANWR

The election is over. McCain can go back to the old folks' home and Barr can go back to pumping gas for a living.

John McCain is Big Energy's Biotch and always has been. He started his career with money from Peabody Coal and wrote legislation after legislation to forcibly relocate the Navajo in Arizona and force them to live on a nuclear dump site. All so that Cindy's beer company could get a big contract with the Las Vegas casinos. McCain is establishment all the way. The only boundaries he goes outside of are the boudaries of human decency!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, are you kidding me? the REASON NOT TO DRILL ANYMORE is that we don't need oil from any source. There are so many other energy sources that lie untapped. Take the time to look into the technology hidden from us for years. And the obvious ones like Wind, Hydrogen, Solar, Pedal, Water. Driving oil prices back down will be passing up on the chance to start fixing one of our greatest mistakes.

Mr. Barr, the reason we have not drilled off shore is because spills do happen. There are hundreds of oil well spills every year. The oil spilled after Katrina was almost as much as the 1969 California oil spill that brought about the ban in the first place. 44 oil rigs were sunk. We were fortunate that it stayed out in the Gulf. Why play Russian roulette with costal cities just to get enoungh oil that would be equal to raising the auto fuel standards by a mile per gallon.

Yeah, too bad Ron Paul couldn't have been his running mate (impossible since the Libertarians nominate both Pres. and VP candidates at the same time, but one can dream. . .)

Bob Barr is the lesser of three evils. I'm voting for Chuck Baldwin, a man of uncompromising, true integrity.

Interestingly enough, if you know Barr, you know he's a big fan of Bob Marley, himself. :)
