Thanks Noel for this...

I watched all I could this morning before I had to leave...of all days...then I come home and see the crawl below on C-Span...I am still fuming...the audicity of these arrogant pieces of work is outrageous...it has reached the point of no return for me.

I hope every single one of us do our best to get all these critters out that have stopped the votes for oil dependency within our own country.

Salazar is a pitiful pathetic creature in my eyes from the moment he has stepped in the Senate as far as I am concerned...he is the type that is afraid of his own shadow.

I'm going to watch this in a few minutes.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

Mitch is they type of person who will not sit by and let the BS that the Dems in Ky and the other liberal states try to push off to the general public.  If we had 20 more people like him in congress pelosi would be a joke to the country and the new media.

""It's a phantom solution," countered Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo, noting that such drilling would not affect gas prices in the short term."

Salazar needs to take ECON 101.  All future expectations are built into the price; especially with a commodity.  3 weeks ago there was little to no expectation the US would drill.  The president removes the executive prohibition and there is a resultant $24/bbl drop in price.  Removed alot of leverage for speculation.  Get congressional permission and you'd remove another barrier and take out more reason for speculative upward pressure.  

A new anti-speculation law is not required.  Just permission to drill.   Of course, that would probably hurt the business prospects of a certain Al Gore and his sponsored alternative energy companies.  Funny how Al's VC firm is in the San Fran area.  Who's the house rep in the area?  Oh look at that, it's Nancy Pelosi.  Things that make you go hmmmm.

There is no amount of suffering at the pump which would change Democrat obstructionist's views.  Suffering at the pump will only be changed by the electorate.

Plain and simple Democrats just don't want more drilling.  To wit --  “I’m hoping we can stop them," (energy companies from drilling) Salazar said.

That doesn't sound like a politician that cares about the suffering of his constituents.  It sounds like a madman with a vendetta against energy companies.

These buffoons left DC today to spend 5 weeks on vacation while the rest of us work.  No vote on off-shore, domestic, ANWR.  These are the know nothing dunderheads of our time.  Please let each and every one of your congressional rulers know you've had it with their dithering and demand a vote.  Drill now, Drill here, build refineries, build nuclear, starting now. 

I find the Democrat's choice of year spans hypocritical. Since drilling now won't affect prices for 7-10 years, it's useless. But the earth will be a few degrees warmer in 30 years so we have to act NOW! We desperately true conservatives in Congress next year.

A couple things to note: 

First, voter ignorance will ensure that the Dems remain in power.

Second, McCain is an absolute, grade-A, 100% moron for even taking an anti-drilling position to begin with. I will never forgive him for it, and I will be doing all I can to dissuade everyone I know from voting for him and instead encourage them to write in a candidate. Of course, McCain did this to himself. Today when I heard that Obama switched positions and called for "limited" (undoubtedly a weasel word used to snare those pain-at-the-pump votes, what a f***ing con-artist) offshore drilling, I was absolutely frustrated because I knew that if only McCain hadn't acted like the sodding RINO he is by holding an anti-drilling position in days past, voters could have been saying to themselves today, "Gee, it looks like Obama is conceding to McCain's ideas, I guess McCain is right and Obama, having switched so many positions while having so little of a history in U.S. government, is really starting to reveal himself as a used car salesman/socialist."

But instead, all we get is the likelihood that voters are saying, "Well, Obama switched positions, but it also looks like McCain switched positions. Everybody makes mistakes, I forgive them both!" Basically, McCain's early move caused this whole presidential race to descend to a level where flip-flopping is OK or viewed in a brighter light. If he hadn't have pulled RINO moves, he could have been further ahead in this race. Instead, the voter is left with the impression that the superior choice in this race is the candidate who "means well" and is "less idiotic" (a.k.a; the one who gives speeches and uses all those Harvard words.) And guess who that candidate would be? The candidate belonging to the party that holds the concentration on the "inherent good" in human beings in high regard (the party that values people who "mean well"). And we know what party that is.

But McCain is done. He's buttered toast with jam, and I'm sick of his incompetence.

Environmentalists and liberal Democrats are doing everything they can to cripple the economy. Their socialist delusions and magical fantasies of an imaginary energy source is pure insanity. There is nothing more ironic then their beloved Cuba doing what we will not. They want higher gas prices because to them oil is 'evil' and 'destroying the environment', despite all evidence to the contrary. Lets forget the fact that oil is what has given us our prosperity. Going back to the third world, reducing our stadard of living and reducing the population of the planet are all good things to them. They sucker naive people with their environmentalist propaganda as if anyone against them is against the environment. Socialist  environmentalists are dictating our energy policy to the Democratic party. Why do you think that when they are called socialists they are not objecting? You don't hear them arguing against these labels, instead they try to explain to you why socialism is a good thing! Nothing amazes me more then the fact that people do not realize these things. Part of the propaganda campaign that has worked so well is because every rational American considers themselves pro-environment thus they do not want to believe "environmentalists" are really socialists. The reality is these Americans are not "environmentalists", they simply care about the environment which are two different things. We already have laws that take care of clean air and water, why do you think the environmentalists have to step up to more and more outrageous things like regulating CO2? It is all a propaganda campaign by very sick individuals who know exactly what type of political change they want in this country - socialism. Environmentalists are the problem and until people wake the hell up this is only going to get worse.

Here's an open note to Congressional Dems/anti-drilling RINOs that I wanted to include in my previous post, but couldn't:

If offshore drilling is, as you seem to be saying, a useless idea that won't lower gas prices and is bound to fail, then why not prove once and for all that this is the case by giving it a chance to fail? Why not let it pass (something that the majority of your constituents want to see happen) and, since you are positive that it will not work, allow the American people to see once and for all that you were right about something? I mean, if you're right, what's there to lose? You've seen how the price of gas dropped $0.30/gallon simply after the presidential drilling ban was lifted. Why not test your assertions that drilling will fail by allowing offshore drilling to occur, so we can see whether or not you were correct in said assertions?

AES Westover Gets $50 Million in Clean-Coal Emissions Technology

AES is investing $50 million in clean-coal emissions control technology at AES Westover, its 126 MW coal-fired facility near Binghamton, New York .

The project will increase AES Westover’s removal rates for NOX emissions from 60 percent today to 90 percent once the project is complete, through the use of a selective catalytic reduction system with ammonia injection. SO2 emissions will be reduced by 95 percent through the use of a dry scrubber, followed by a fabric filter bag-house - a final stage in the emission control process. In addition, the combination of these technologies is also expected to reduce mercury emissions by 90 percent.

“Each of AES’s coal-fired plants in New York continue to emit significantly less SO2 and NOx than any other coal-fired facility in the state, based on EPA data,” said Jim Mulligan, Plant Manager at AES Westover. “This technology will allow AES Westover to meet all of the requirements under the Clean Air Act while continuing to meet increasing demands for energy in New York.”

AES says it has committed more than $150 million to emissions control projects in upstate New York since 1999."

 How will the voters in our country get pissed about this crap from Salazar if they never hear about it ?? 

"everymorning and everyday, I bossa nova with you"

It does not get any clearer than this. I hope John McCain uses this in a commercial. In the mean time I emailed this to everyone I know.

Didn't you hear? They just announce the discovery of dilithium crystals. We now have the technology to create space vacuum energy. You know, the stuff inside liberal heads. Oil is no longer needed.
