i have a question...when are democrats gonna take the handcuffs off this country`s ability to provide it`s own energy?....
i`m not talking about changing lightbulbs...i`m not talking about phony carbon credits...
i`m talking about building some more refineries...building some nuclear power plants...
accessing oil resources in anwar,the continental shelf and in newly discovered reserves in north dakota....
cuba`s drilling 40 miles off the florida coast and by any measure,they aren`t even close to being as ecologically responsible as we would be given all the regulations we opearte under....
we`re letting cuba,china,and other unfriendly competitive nations leave us in their dust...
we get a large portion of our oil from non-middle eastern sources(mexico/canada/venezuela) and could potentially relieve much of our dependence on middle eastern oil by utiliziing our own resources to the best of our abilities while researching other methods of energy....
makes no sense whatsoever...

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR04) railed against the Republican special interests that prevent any real progress from being made on getting control over skyrocketing fuel prices and huge profits being realized by oil companies while consumers struggle with high fuel costs ... " Now, there?s a few things we could do. Now, the president?s a big free trader, right? He?s trying to push us into more free trade agreements. They say they work great. He wants ?rules-based trade.? Well, we?re in the WTO, they have rules. The rules say you can not restrict the supply of a commodity simply to drive up the price. That?s what OPEC?s doing. Now five members of OPEC are in the WTO. Will this president ? the oil man ?- the friend of the Saudis and the others ? will he file a complaint in the World Trade Organization against OPEC? No. I wrote to him three years ago, asking him to do that. The answer was no. If the Saudis and the OPEC countries want to get together and collude to drive up the price of the oil, that?s just fine with George Bush. He?s all for free trade, and rules-based trade, except when the rules might hurt some of his buddies. And then, the oil industry just piggy backs on top of that ..".... The Gavel: The price for regular gasoline reached a record $3.53 per gallon today ? 23 percent more than this time last year and 140 percent more than when President Bush took office. The Democratic-led Congress has passed a number of key bills to reduce the burden of rising gas prices on Americans and make America less dependent on foreign oil ? but the President has threatened to veto each one. House Democrats call on President Bush to support House-passed legislation such as the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels (NOPEC) Act, The Energy Price Gouging Act, and the Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act and bring real relief to America?s families and businesses now.
Chad,
Define "creative" regarding the Gov's methods in raising money. Just curious as I am not up to speed on whats going in Minnesota unless it something to do with the Twinkies or Viqueens.
If he does become the VP nomination, I am curious if that would swing your vote or at least give you some consideriation. I know nothing about this guy, so I am more curious than anything else.
Seems like everybody agrees that the VP choise will be critical, so I am wondering what your personal take would be on this guy.
Thanks in advance,
TP

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.
On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a big tits who owns a beer distributorship.
