I guess protecting 3 island chains is banning all offshore drilling?

Nothing should be off limits to drilling.

Drilling is everything.

Irony my ass. It's a lie. Protecting a specified area only is NOT "banning offshore drilling".

You're just a leftwingnut hack. Nothing more nor less.

LMAO! That all you got? You would be incorrect. You posted a thread title that is a lie and I addressed it. That is addressing the facts.

Pretty misleading title there eh boyo?
It is sad that we are so gung-ho on oil drilling. We need a Kennedy "man on the moon" speech about alternative energy.

No it just goes to show, that the Democratic position is even more absurd than originally thought. Pelosi stated that the reason for blocking a vote was to protect the environment, well if Bush protects these environmentally sensitive areas, then what does that do to the Democratic opposition to drilling? It makes it trivial and solely driven by their special interests the environmental wackos such as yourself.

Bingo!

Bush can't even bring himself to use the word conservation, but that is what happens when you have two oil men in the White House.
