TO DRILL OR NOT TO DRILL...

Well its been a pretty interesting week so far. McCain finally sees the light on opening up to the idea of drilling. And wouldn't you know it....so does the public at large.

In McCains case, he is simply coming over to the correct side....THE RIGHT SIDE.
Of which has always been the Conservative position.
"We MUST DRILL IN OUR OWN AREAS."

It makes no sense to NOT do that. Its idiotic.

An idiotic line that has been the democrats position and sadly....many Americans.
When things are nice and tidy it gives folk...smart folk...reason to turn off your old nogging and just stop thinking logically. You become lazy.
You don't think about the ramifications of your actions (or in this case- non action)....

Until it comes up and bites you in the ass.

Hey all my leftist pals . How ya like paying 4.00$ per gallon of gas?
Hey "countsy"!! How much is it costing to fill your car these days?
How bout you "Robo"? (what am I doing? Robo is a pod person from invasion of the body snatchers. So never mind the question. Go back to sleep.)

Now my lefty friends are quick to say...ITS THE GAS COMPANIES! ITS THE OIL COMPANIES.

Their idea is to TAX the oil companies because they don't like the idea of those companies making the 'profits' that they are making.
There is so much stupidity to this 'idea' that one has to just choose a few items to illustrate how dumb it is.

1) who cares how much the oil companies are making. It does not matter! The reason? It has NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH GAS COSTS.
The oil companies don't set the costs for gas. It is A WORLD MARKET. IT IS a WORLD DEMAND.

So...being that taxing them would have no impact on lowering the gas price, what WOULD it do?

2) It would RAISE THE COSTS. Because not only are you NOT doing anything productive about the issue, you hinder it by TOTALLY HOG-TIE'ING the companies that are trying to GET the oil.

Hello? Beauler? Hello??

Obama.
Well, here is the butt-ah! Obama said himself, what really ALL of the democrats feel.
When asked about how he felt about the rise in gas costs...
Obama said that he didn't mind that they were high, but he just would have preferred that the rise were more Gradual. A "gradual adjustment rather than a shock to the system".
Why? Because its a way to bind...YOU! To force you conform to their nutty extremist ways.

And then the public:
The public, in their want to remain the ones on the "green highground"...now finds out the folly of turning a blind eye to this issue by not wanting to take advantage of OUR OWN RESOURCES.
The folly of listening to the idiocy of the leftist enviro nutters and leftist no nothing democrats.

Only now, after being faced to look at the CONSEQUENCE of such laziness...at up to 4.00$ (and the very real possibility of a higher cost!) a gallon, are now open to drilling.

And with McCain and Bush touting the OTHER thing that conservatives have been FOR while the democrats have been AGAINST due to some irrational fear.....that other thing?

Nuclear energy.

Look for the public to now look more favorably to that as well.

Nuclear energy. Cheaper, cleaner, more efficient. And plentiful. Not to mention safe.
The one thing that the french have been good for is being a guinea pig on this issue.
They have been using nuclear for some time, and it is now powering up to 79 % of their needs.

Now I ask you. IF alternatives such as Nuclear, along with relying on our OWN RESOURCES such as drilling in our areas...things that have been touted by conservatives for a loooong time..
IF we were doing this 10 years ago....5 years ago.......3 years ago..

Would we be in the position we are in now?
Would we be paying 4.00$ per gallon of gas?

With polls saying that the public has finally woken up to this question..anywhere from 60% (reuters) to 80% (washington post) backing drilling...Its an issue that the dems find themselves on the losing end of. And the public finds themselves beginning to ask themselves the question..
"Is this what we have to look forward to with a total democrat takeover?"

Answer:

Yes.
