You people are ALL wrong. The guy from Houston ought to know better. 1.There is no such thing as "proven" reserves. 2.Oil companies already have many wells that they have explored for, drilled, completed and tapped that are sitting capped while they set back and regulate world prices. 3. Over 38,000 acres of leases are unexplored and undrilled by these companys. 4. They just want to get their hands on ANWR and offshore areas. Repubs are just doing their master's bidding. 5. Oil takes a lag time of 12-16 years before getting to the pump. Exploration, acquiring seismic, acquiring lease, rent or lease and transport drill rig, "Spudding" a well, drilling, well completion, production, transportation, brokering, refining, transport to retail all take a huuuuuge amount of time. 6. Oil companies are holding the leashes of the Republican Party. Don't take a brain surgeon to see it. The Repubs are blowing smoke if you think drilling ANWR will drop the price at the pump to 75 cents per gallon tomorrow. All the ANWR oil on the planet will drop the price at the pump 6 cents,.........in about 16 years!! Want more planes flown into our buildings? Vote Republican! I'm Greg in Detroit and I approved this message. I am a former petroleum geologist.

We only have 99 days to save our beloved country from complete liberal ruination. We have always been a strong independent nation, world leader in every sense of the word and now . . .our Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves. Our Constitution is being raviged, In God We Trust removed from our money, Under God deleted from the Pledge. I am truly saddened by the lack of national backbone at this point in time. Have we been so brainwashed by the liberals in Congress and the drive-by media that we actually believe we can continue to prosper and be the strongest leader in the free world? We are blessed with numerous natural resources (oil, gas, coal, shale oil), but are not allowed to develop them because it is not economically feasible to do so with the restrictions the environmentalists/tree huggers and liberals in government impose on the industry. A lease can expire before a permit to drill will be authorized . . .cite the sage grouse strutting ground, bald eagle nesting, tit mouse habitat. . . it's always something, and the nation is suffering dearly because of it. The caribou in ANWR calve under and next to the pipeline because it is warm. Bald eagles nest on holding tanks because it is warm and off the ground away from predators . . .the tit mouse can fend for himself and the sage grouse will strutt no matter what. I'm scared of the direction in which our country is headed. Barack Obama and his clueless, hateful wife have to be stopped from destroying The Home of the Free and The Land of the Brave. God Bless America!!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA . . . !!! We only have 99 days to save our beloved country from complete liberal ruination.

First, we are removing God from everything because we are afraid of hurting the feelings of Illegal aliens, etc. What a load of crap! This country was founded on Christian principles...remember the Constitution of the United States? Now, we are in the energy crisis of the century, and the Democrats are LARGELY at fault for it! Congress had better do something....and fast...or we will soon become the United States of China! This country is going to hell in a hand basket.

The CRISIS is fact and is killing the AMERICAN ECONOMY. The CONGRESS has a responsibility ( both Republican & Democrat ) to do what is good for the country. DRILl,DRILL, DRILL. Those that can't understand this should be listed and thrown out by the people. It doesn't matter who was the cause on the oil crisis. The CRISIS is fact and is killing the AMERICAN ECONOMY.

What she says about Democrats in Congress is absolutely true. I will do anything in my power to remove them all. If Bill Clinton had not vetoed the energy bill we would have the oil situation under control by now and if we don't start drilling in ANWAR and offshore we will just keep sending our good money to the Middle East. 700 billion dollars a year plus is a lot of money and it comes right out of all of our pockets!

If it is not something the democratic congress has put into place then they will not pass it. I will make sure that I will NOT vote for any congressional democrait in the future. the democratic congress has not done anything to help the people of the united states unless they thought their party would benefit from it.

In other words we are continuing to do a lousy selling job. We're giving facts, figures, statistics, etc. Yaaawwwwn. Boooring. Causes folks eyes to glaze over. What is needed? I've gone over this before. Place the emphasis on the number of high paying oil field related jobs that will be available with expanded domestic drilling. Possibly available before Christmas '08. Middle Americans have suffered the loss of millions of high paying manufacturing jobs over the past decade or so. Many are working as burger flippers or mall retail, etc. Door greeters at Walmart. What would get them enthusiastic [like they did over McCain/Kennedy back in 6/07-burning up the communication lines to their elected reps] would be the prospect of doubling their annual paychecks. Its not an unrealistic expectation. The oil industry is one of the last bastions of high paying jobs in the U.S. Come on HF! Be the point man here. Break new ground. Have some of your "brains" focus on this very attractive prospect for U.S. workers. Pose the question, "why are democrats denying U.S. workers high paying oil field related jobs"? And watch the walls come down. What should we NOT do?? Lets not look to the tree hugging moonbats in California for guidance. Ha!
