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

Drilling is everything.

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

It is sad that we are so gung-ho on oil drilling. We need a Kennedy "man on the moon" speech about alternative energy. |

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.

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. |
