- mcjive, on 06/17/2008, -2/+0LOL! Correct you are. It sucks we are about 10-15 years too late.

- Ducain, on 06/16/2008, -1/+3Indeed!
- legolas68, on 06/16/2008, -7/+8Mr. Newt has been out there awhile pimping the americansolutions/drillnow agenda. I think McCain has finally listened to the masses.
Pelosi, Reid,Obama, and the other pin-heads would have us strapped with $10 per gallon gasoline. They don't feel the pinch in any way.
DRILL NOW. - snu155, on 06/16/2008, -7/+9seriously about time Washington even proposed to get off their butts, now if McCain would reverse his stance on ANWAR due to the current state of fuel costs......
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/17/2008, -1/+1Yeah, let's trash ANWAR because it's suddenly become more expensive for you to drive. Talk about a knee-jerk reaction.
- Cognoscenti247, on 06/17/2008, -1/+1Trash ANWR? Knee-jerk reaction? Measures for Energy independence and strengthening our economy are not knee-jerk.
Besides, we can drill, refine and transport oil with a footprint of .00001% of the ANWR land and virtually no emissions or negative effects on the surrounding ecosystems. We drill in the ocean for god sakes...land is easy!
However, you are likely a no-growth-we-deserve-ten-dollar-a gallon-gas liberal, so there is probably no solution.

- epublicus, on 06/16/2008, -7/+7To the brain trust around McCain: ANWAR, S. Dakota, offshore, up your boss's...I don't care! Just do it!
Before all of you "Environ-mentalists" get over heated: If you have a set of blueprints in your pocket for your vaunted "alternate energy" that can deliver the same energy per dollar as oil, gas, and coal, put them on the table. Until then spare us the rhetoric. In the meantime, work on those alternates and make them viable. Stop waiting for others to do your heavy lifting for you.
But then I'm sure you will find it's always easier to snivel and whine than actually DO something. - blackbamboo, on 06/16/2008, -8/+5Digg this up before the Obammies take over!
- hectorhector, on 06/16/2008, -2/+4I am an Obama supporter, but I support offshore drilling and even drilling in ANWR. In stead of starting divisions, you should be more positive. If more people like me voice their opinions perhaps Obama will rethink his position. The solution isn't to attack Obama or his supporters.
- SQLDigger, on 06/17/2008, -2/+3It may not be the solution to the energy problem, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.
- blackbamboo, on 06/17/2008, -1/+0Obama backs using money raised through an auction of greenhouse-gas emissions credits to bolster research and development projects, while imposing requirements on how much renewable energy public utilities would have to buy.

- dmyze107, on 06/17/2008, -6/+1Please let it happen!
- MyNameIsGod, on 06/17/2008, -6/+1Yes indeed, it's about flippin' time. When will we realize that all the money we spend on gas goes directly to those who wish to do us harm?
- mattowan, on 06/17/2008, -3/+110 years late, but better than never.
- slackin, on 06/17/2008, -4/+0It's about time we stop letting the enviro whackos destroy our economy by keeping us dependent on foreign oil. I look forward to the day we can eliminate our dependence on oil altogether, but until then, I have to feed my family. Maybe McCain will give me a reason to vote for him after all.
- metalzboy, on 06/17/2008, -3/+0whats the point of a clean enviroment if you have no money to live in it???.......i'd rather not live in a third world country thank you very much,we have plenty of our own oil,and we have the technology to make it safe and enviromentally sound,we need to also start rocking on the alternatives,if we did that,the OPEC countries would start shaking in their sandals and we could tell them to "Go Pound Sand!!",if we can send a man to the moon,we can do this also,i put nothing past American Ingenuity,we can do this......soon as we get the whackjobs out of the way(liberals)
- blackbamboo, on 06/17/2008, -0/+0exactly...we can do it all!!!
- papipablo, on 06/17/2008, -4/+5Easy to not care about the future of the planet when you won't be alive in 3 years.
- Cognoscenti247, on 06/17/2008, -1/+1The Earth will be fine. I can assure you that mankind will die out before the Earth does.
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/17/2008, -2/+4Knee-jerk reaction to high gas prices, and a short term solution at best. If we'd had sensible leadership on energy policy for the last 10-15 years (i.e., investing more in alternatives), we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. Of course, now that consumers are feeling it, McCain's going to play that up as much as possible.
- blackbamboo, on 06/17/2008, -3/+3by your own admission it is a solution. The only sensible energy policy is more alternatives? What are we saving the billions and billions of oil for right under our feet? McCain has a knack for listening to the American people and reacting to what they are asking for. This time it's going after our domestic natural resources. Previously he changed his position on Amnesty. Listening to what a majority of the american people are asking for is not a play on his part. It is something more politicians should do.
- prowlerjm, on 06/17/2008, -4/+2Oil drilling = Pandering to oil companies
We need real solutions...- blackbamboo, on 06/17/2008, -2/+2Pandering to oil companies? Isn't this pandering to the American people who are paying higher prices in everything they buy? I guess only Obama can pander by promising free job training and tax breaks to dead beat dads if the pay child support, or promising free health care to everyone, or promising free college, or promising to punish the "Rich" with tax increases...no only Obama can pander. Too bad Obama did not think of this first than it would not be called pandering it would be called Change! Instead Obama's change is nothing more than rewrapping the failed policies of the 70s.
- slackin, on 06/17/2008, -2/+1What are the "real" solutions? Do you mean Obama's plan to increase taxes for oil companies? While that may temporarily, and partially, fund some of free handouts he proposes to buy votes, it doesn't provide any real solutions to the rising energy costs that are crippling our economy. He's a real compassionate guy that Obama. Make the poor, who can't afford to fill up their cars to go to work, suffer the most so he can pander to the tree huggers. That's change I just can't swallow.
