McSame sez Drill, Drill, Drill!

John McCain and George W. Bush are the SAME on their policies for fixing our oil crisis; they'll just drill more. No regard for the environment, no interest in getting us off oil, just more, more, more. Four more years of Bush.

McSame On Drilling Off The Shores Of America

MCCAIN PLAN: "There Are Areas Off Our Coasts That Should Be Open To Exploration And Exploitation." During a media availability in Arlington, Virginia, John McCain said, "I also believe that lifting the moratoria from off-shore drilling or oil and natural gas exploration is something that we should place as a very high priority... I certainly think that there are areas off our coasts that should be open to exploration and exploitation. And I hope we can take the first step by lifting the moratoria in order to do so." [McCain Media Availability in Arlington via CQ Transcriptions, Virginia, 6/16/08]

BUSH PLAN: Bush Called For Oil Drilling In the Outer Continental Shelf. President Bush said, "This morning, I asked Democratic Congressional leaders to move forward with four steps to expand American oil and gasoline production. First, we should expand American oil production by increasing access to the outer continental shelf or OSC. Experts believe that the OCS could produce about 18 billion barrels of oil. That would be enough to match the current oil production America for almost 10 years. The problem is that congress has restricted access to key parts of the OCS since the early 1980's. Since then, advances in technology have made it possible to conduct oil exploration in the OCS that is out of sight, protects coral reefs and habitats, and protects against oil spills. With these advances, and a dramatic increase in oil prices, Congressional restrictions on exploration have become outdated and counterproductive. Republicans in congress have proposed several promising bills that would lift the legislative ban on oil exploration in the OCS. I call on the House and Senate to pass good legislation as soon possible." [President Bush statement, 6/18/08]

How does anyone still support the "drill more" bs when it won't lower gas prices for 20 years?

Republicans are the most ignorant, subserviant, drones to ever have the right to vote in this country. I wish Bush/Mccain would tell them there's more oil at the bottom of a cliff. They would ALL dive into it!! Understand the truth you fools! If they drill for oil, it's the oil companys who want all the money. You won't see a dime! WAKE UP!

Look at this IDIOT running his mouth for the sole purpose of the Energy Companies. Does anyone out here understand what that little pompous ass bush used to do for a living? It was called ARBOOSTO AKA ARBUSTO....He couldn't even get oil out of Texas properly and the fools elected this prick for two terms. DISSSCRACE AMERICA...And that little john following him around like a wet puppy dog...DISSGRACE AMERICA....No wonder your BROKE!

Grow up. McCain is Big Energy's biotch and always has been. Here in AZ, he kicked the Navajo off their land and made them live in a nuclear dump site. Where do you think all the radioactive waste is going to go? In our drinking water, in our air and in our grandchildren's bodies and their grandchildren's bodies. Vote against McCain's nuclear nightmare. Vote against these Right wing religious "nuclear snake handlers" who think that radiation won't kill them if they believe in Jesus!

of the gulf of mexico, which the cubans are allowing the communist chinese to use and the democrats dont want to disturb them and the oil companies are open to lawsuits from envirnmentalist groups so we shouldnt see any oil out of the atlantic and pacific

[weitiff]

the bush administration had a good idea to begin with or else he would have not been elected twice but they just did it wrong

McCain wants to drill and that is the right choice while senator Obama opposses this, the rocky mountains have two trillion barrels worth of reserves but the democrats would rather save polar bears then insure national security the senate is also trying to fool us by lifting bans on the atlantic and pacific coasts, but they didn't lift the ban on the eastern portion..

pwned by self

Listen, you're an old cunt that's hippie days have long passed. I know you're a liberal tree hugger that think they can wish away our problems, but welfare momma, it won't happen. Your stupid to even mention high-speed train in the regions that are non-suburbanized. We're not a society that's geared for that, we need independences. So, that being said, I'm sure Matlock is on, so get back to watching that, then Wheel of Fortune, and get all moist for Pat Sajak.
