The public is being punished by self serving morons who believe what they think is best for us instead of following what the public needs for basic survival. If GM folds, not only does the corporation go down, but all of the little guys that own dealerships and their employees, because of a sudden rise in the price of oil. Oil is needed by the entire world, not just America, as our prestigious politicians and tree huggers would want you to believe, it is the keystone of global economy,needed and used by THE ENTIRE WORLD. Alternatives are needed, but we need a solution now. Use the oil we have, develop alternatives and gradually replace our dependence. To say driling will do nothing to help is totally absurd. I wonder who these socialist liberals are sucking up to. We need a revolution!

Whether we like it or not, whether we know it or not, there will be a war in the middle east. If we are not independent on foriegn oil, we will be involved, just for self preservation. If we have the vision to start drilling for our own oil, we don't have to be involved. I believe, that we can be oil independent within a year if we can just get off our duffs. These near sighted congressmen and women, are going to destroy us. We are in a precarious place. Whether we like it or not, whether we know it or not, there will be a war in the middle east.

Many Countries seem to have their own fuel reserves, but it is my guess they would profit, if they agreed to share with us.President Bush i'm told comes from an oil family, and must consider that organization, as he was born into it. As for the World market, or anyone who consumes our fuel choices, it would be wise to change, the regulations stoping alternative research, and the creation of jobs toward concerns, for What this Country was, and has stood for in the past.

We the people may not have the big money but we have the votes. It is time for a new American Revolution. Rise up and vote. Pelosi and Reid are imperious and remote from contact however their positions are national and obligate them to voters not in their district. We should contact them en masse with emails, faxes, and letters. ================== Liberals are in favor of alternative energy but when investors propose windmill farms or solar panels the liberals block it with legal action. Everywhere you go there are liberals saying, "not here." They do not own public land. It belongs to all the American people. POls always go with the money.

OPEC nations will hate our guts, won't ever be friends. 5. Congress will always be protected and out of touch. 6. We're financially strained and haven't seen the worst yet. 7. America is still #1, but teetering. 8. China, Russia and most of Europe are not our friends. 9. We only know what we can see. I, among millions of American citizens (legal and illegal) am disheartened, disenchanted and disgusted. I feel with all of my heart that my federal, state and local governments can't, but mostly don't, want to help us. The problems are too contentious or "hard". I see a world war, ala WW II size, coming and I see our government ready (but mostly willing) to fiddle while Rome burns. More millions should be more frightened, but aren't.

This means that to make a meaningful impact on the world market, we should also tap in to the rich oil reserves in Alaska, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, California, Pennsylvania. There is no shortage of oil. There is, however, a total absence of testicular fortitude among Democrats to go after it.

Biden on the Senate floor saying that drilling here wouldn't work because American producers would, as now, automatically peg per barrel cost at worldwide levels; thus, any oil produced here wouldn't decrease the cost of gasoline for American consumers. Seductive argument, but what's the truth? Just this moment heard Sen.
