How true but how many cars as of NOW run on solar, batteries, or wind? If they could pull oil out of my toilet I'd be the first to let them set up a rig!

Nice to see the dems so enviromentally friendly...."Save the Planet" my ass! Paying out $700 billion/yr. to foreign countries for THEIR oil isn't saving shit!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposes lifting the moratorium on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and on the Outer Continental Shelf. She won't even allow it to come to a vote. With $4 gas having massively shifted public opinion in favor of domestic production, she wants to protect her Democratic members from having to cast an anti-drilling election-year vote. Moreover, given the public mood, she might even lose. This cannot be permitted. Why? Because, as she explained to Politico: "I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet."

Do ya all like the thought of paying $10.00 at the pump? Mix in Obama with Pelosi and Reid and that's EXACTLY what you will all get! While these tree hugging, private jet riding hypocrits aren't changing their lifestyles do ya really think they give a rats ass about yours?

The dems are proving themselves to be a pack of elitists that have NO grip on real life. Maybe this is why the Great Obama can't pull away from an old white republican when it should be SO EASY considering Bush's ratings.

Have a good one!:s4:
