excuse me MR. GINGRINCH; ever meet t. boone. pickens. he's a BIG OIL MAN! and he said this is one issue you can't drill your way out of. so could you please return to the primevil ooze you crawled thru!

What is ridiculous about this whole issue is the fact that there isnt a thing stopping the oil companies from drilling offshore now, they just wont do it. It is more profitable for them to import foreign oil, so they do. The only thing that this debate is about is giving them more control over the OCS than they already have...screw em! They want to drill...then fuc$ing drill!

Liberals have gone off the rails a LONG time ago, today's liberals are raving lunatics who have sold out America and Americans for leftist special interests and global government over the sanctity of the United States. Liberals are defined by eco freaks, socialists, no borders extremists, race and class warfare, gender warfare, no values, big government, restricted private property, less civil rights and less freedom of expression. Today liberals are hateful anti-American fascists.

Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things -every one!So I will wear LIBERAL as a badge of honor.

Gretchen Carlson: "I find it interesting that more economists are not on the record saying that." Wanna know why? Because no economist that aren't in the pocket of Big Oil would agree with the BS Gringrich is peddling here. Maybe that's why the idiot cited a friggin' INTERN at AEI and nothing else to back it up. LOLOLOL. Republican desperation.This is the fact: we won't see a single drop of oil or price decrease from new offshore drilling in at least a decade.

Everytime the Republicans run the show they ruin the economy and the American tax payer gets screwed paying up the debt they ran up, and getting nothing for it. The left has been dead on about the economy and what badly the right wingers have bungled everything up. Its amazing to me that all these red states that are home to conservatives are the states who take in more tax money than they send to Washington. The Blue states are the earners, while the Red states earn zilch...

Leftists don't understand anything about anything. They are wrong about the economy as they are wrong on every single other major issue.
