Reply #30: Drilling in ANWAR is not a solution

[demokatgurrl]

It's a Repug FAKE solution, to lull us into a false sense of security that we have all the oil we need. We don't. Our oil-producing enemies have us by the short and curlies. The ones who lack connection with the realities of working and middle class life are Bushco and their rich cronies, who DO have access to all the oil they need. We need (or needed, YEARS ago, as Al Gore told us back in 1990) to reduce our dependence on the stuff. Forget about our "pristine enviroment". Think NATIONAL SECURITY. Saudia Arabia could ruin us by cutting off oil, or even just manipulating what they choose to sell us, at what price. And I don't think we have enough military left to invade any more countires. And Bush's "new" idea to do more offshore drilling? Politics, politics politics.




And BTW, "elitism" is also a Repug slur.
