Drill baby drill

How much of this stuff are liberals going to be asked to take?
In the last month alone we were supposed to be excited about the passage of a lame excuse for a health care bill, and now this?

I just hope enough liberals and enough repubs will be pissed off enough to actually vote a LIBERTARIAN into office. That is the best thing that could happen to the country.

Its a pipe dream though.

I would comment but I dont want people accusing me of being hatred. Nor would I want to have a different view than certain people who would get thier two cents in.

I think it's starting to look like political manoevering that will backfire big time with the progressive base.

I do like Sarah Palin's response, as I find watching thoughts bounce around inside her empty head endlessly entertaining, kinda like a game of Pong from the 1970's

(as quoted on HuffPost article assembling reactions):

Sarah Palin on Twitter initially says: "Drill, baby, drill."

Sarah Palin on Twitter, after being told what to think, six minutes later changes her assessment 180-degrees to: "Rep.Boehner spot-on Obama goal=cram thru job-killing, energy-depleting, burdensome Cap & Tax scheme on heels of Obama's new"pro-drilling"msg

It was little more than a political stunt. there is not going to be any drilling. he opened a tiny bit of the atlantic to exploration, that's it. at the same time, they canceled several leases that would have started producing in a couple of years. It's a net loss for anyone looking to develop more domestic oil.

If they really wanted oil, then the places to go are in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.

I'm for anything that will allow us to flip the bird to the Muslims as soon as possible.

Says he "also wants Congress to lift a drilling ban in the oil-rich eastern Gulf of Mexico, 125 miles from Florida beaches.".....Do you realize how often you ignore, or fabricate?
