Can Dems really say they are for the 'little' people when they will not allow for new drilling for oil?

I guess this means they really like people being poor so they can offer more handouts or am I wrong?Can Dems really say they are for the 'little' people when they will not allow for new drilling for oil?
They would rather confiscate oil company profits and invest in politically motivated technologies that may or may not one day be cost effective.





Sounds about right for the party of ';good intentions';..Can Dems really say they are for the 'little' people when they will not allow for new drilling for oil?
Can you tell me how allowing more drilling in public lands with benefit anyone right now? Even Bush admits it wouldn't help supply and demand for years. His father even supported not allowing that drilling. Oil companies already have 86 million acres offshore alotted for drilling and they haven't bothered to develope them. Even Iran says these prices are artifically blown up by the market. We need to stop blaming this on supply issues and stop the decline of the US dollar.
They will allow for drilling this is just crazy. There is millions and millions of land in the USA already approved to drill in, yet the President is focusing on off shore stuff, why can't he say, oil companies, drill were you already have permits?





He is making this purely political and you are eating it up.
Drilling for more oil will not lower the price on gas! You need to tax them, that will lower the prices because the cost is never passed on to the consumer. Simple democratic economics. No they aren't for the little people only thier money.





Only everybody else BUT America is allowed to drill off our shore.
Well they have good reason. It is our duty as the human race to preserve the enviorment and not completely destroy it, and drilling for more oil will ';NOT'; lower gas prices now. At most it will take 5 years to lower it a few cents. If we want to lower gas prices we need to invest in more renewable energy.
Good question,


McCain is looking into drilling for oil in our own country.Why should the most wonderful country in the world, be dependent on foreign oil ???.... COME ON PEOPLE.


For example...Look at the country Brazil.They are a poor country and even they are NOT depending on foreign oil.


My husband is from Brazil.It looks like they are smarter than we are.
Do you even know what you are talking about?





Do you know how many hundreds of barrels of oil are leaked into the ocean each month by each platform?





When you get educated then come back and we will have a discussion. Until then, leave the debate to those who know what they are talking about.
Gas in Mexico. $2.50 a gallon. A reduction in the need for oil vs. supply. Hmmmm. it sounds like speculators are making the millions driving up the per barrel prices. Drilling for more oil will only make others rich, and not solve the problem of the cost per barrel we Americans are stuck with.
I thought the EPA was not allowing for drilling?





Besides, how long will it take to extract oil from Alaska? 10 years?





Continue to post your rhetoric here, and all of us - both cons and libs - will laugh at you and your un-American stupidity.
Yes. The really little people. The future for our kids and there kids. So we drill and deplete More resources,displace more wildlife,destroy more of the planet and continue our viral existence on the Earth. Then what, Star trek is still sci fi so where will our children and there children live or we just to become extinct too.
Considering that there are BETTER and CHEAPER ways of solving the energy crisis than drilling for oil, I'd have to say yes. They are more for the ';little'; people than Republicans are. Time to get someone in office who can see past next week.
Yeah right, lets see them explain that to the single mom working overtime at Mcdonalds, or the family that has to drive to walmart to shop.





But hey as long as they vote for them, let them pay the price for that vote.
Yes. Telling people you're gonna drill for oil and it will only take TEN YEARS to see any benefit isn't very useful for current gas prices, is it?
Oil is like a crack addiction for America. So we need to find new things to help us and think about God's green earth and stop new pollution from happening.
new oil drilling will not change much. Maybe we'll save a few cent in 5-10 year...big whoop... We have to save using nuclear power, that's the answer
This is stupid, how is drilling for oil going to help in the short term? Who's watch did all this happen on? Blame the Right people
no they just wanna be in power
what is the alternative fuel?
