Oil and why we should drill

GOOD article about how liberal congressmen are so focused on 'windfall' oil profits they cannot see how much more money the oil companies spend on foreign oil. The lefty liberals also prevent us from drilling to protect the environment, like our drilling technology is still from the 1800's, when we have organic oil reserves that could free us from foreign dependence for 15 years (longer in the case of Venezuela). Granted, I am sure there is some sort of lobbying going on that makes Saudi oil more lucrative for some. I am a big supporter of nuclear energy as well. Like drilling, nuke energy technology has made great advances since 3 Mile Island (and I was living in PA at the time of that event, and my father was working in Harrisburg that day).

Maybe when we're paying $10/gallon they Libs will start to re-think Nuke power and drilling.

But I doubt it...

Unfortunately they will continue to blame the Bush-Cheney-Haliburton triumvirate for high prices, buy more hybrids and continue taking more of our money in taxes. Can't wait!
