Can someone please tell the dumbocrat liberals that oil doesn't grow on trees!?Why do the dimocrats protest oil drilling %26amp; exploration and then complain about high gas prices?
well people have 2 drive for now untll theirs better cars...and we dont even need oil if we switch 2 better cars......and ??dumbocrats?? grow up.Why do the dimocrats protest oil drilling %26amp; exploration and then complain about high gas prices?
Simple answer - allowing companies to drill would provide a free-market solution. They are invested in making it seem the free market is incapable of providing solutions, so they will stop it at every turn. They want so socialize oil companies (in the words of (D) Maxine Waters) and get even more power to keep people poor and voting Dem.
Because it won't do anything to the price of gas!!!
It will take 30 years just to get it up and running, and by that time it will only make a drop in the bucket in terms of global oil supply.
McCain is just pandering to get your vote. It. Won't. Work.
The freakin Energy Information Administration has issued a statement warning against it!!

US top trade groups already demand an end to oil speculation, but Congress do not act and Media do not report
';Leading energy experts across the country agree that recent, unprecedented jumps in crude oil prices are due, in large measure, to rampant speculation in the energy commodities markets.”
“19 of the nation’s top trade associations, consumer groups and labor organizations, the coalition urges “immediate reform in the widely-speculative energy commodity futures markets.”

First of all because drilling is not a short term fix. Its a long term one and hopefully in the long term it wont be necessary. Therefore we should be looking for real solutions and not more of the same foolishness we have been doing.
I am one who is happy to see gas prices rise. It is the only way we were finally as a country going to get off our butts and find some real solutions to ending oil dependency. Just another thing George Bush has been a total and complete failure on.
Although I am sure you do not actually care for the anwser to this question.
If one does even the smallest amount of research on this one will find that current gas prices and the amount of Oil supply are unrelated.
it is due to refining capacity, oil speculation and the lousy value of the dollar.
If ANWR was online you would not save more than a couple pennies at the pump. You are buying what their selling. The oil companies to insure they can continue to ream you at the pump are scaring folks into opening these minor areas for pumping. Many of these area they can pump, using slant drilling etc. But their too cheap to spend their trillions in profit on these more expensive teqniques.
we're not against drilling for oil:
The oil companies already own millions of acres of land that they are neither drilling or exploring right now in the U.S.
Why would we give them more if they're not already using what they have?
and ESPECIALLY...why would we give them leases in wildlife reserves and national parklands?

im confused here, first you say dimocrats then you say dumbocrat (which I never heard of those political parties) then you say liberals which isn't a political party. explain.
Upon reading the previous answers, the reason democrats,aka liberals, have never been accused of being on the leading edge of the intellectual curve is obvious.
It's a conundrum they have created for themselves.
And if oil grew on trees, they would still protest recovering it. (treehuggers)
I'm not complaining...but then I work for an Oil company.
if you really want to cut oil prices, stop driving.
conservation is the only way to fix the mess we are in.
this is their usual way to operate.
No action, but then complain, complain.
Let's make Maxine Waters our energy czarina. That should solve all our problems.
I'm not sure who you are talking about. Maybe use a spell-checker. But the answer to your question is simple.
Ask the oil companies why they are not drilling and exploring. They are sitting on drilling rights to 50 million acres already, which they are not exercising. The oil companies have also shut down profitable refineries to limit supply.
I assume from your tone that you would like to give the oil companies more public land to drill on or at least to own the drilling rights on, and that somehow that giveaway would affect gas prices.
Even if the Republicans were able to give away our public land in ANWAR, it would take at least 10-15 years to produce oil according to the DOE. At peak production, that might add 1 or 2% to the supply of oil here.
Why not ask Mexico, Canada, or Venezuela to sell us 1 or 2% more crude now instead? Even if they did, the gas price issue is not one of limited supply. Have you seen any gas stations that are completely out of gas?
Part of the problem is also our tanking dollar on the world market. When the dollar is worth less, it costs more for us to compete against other countries vying for the same oil with stronger money.
Another question to ask yourself is why are the British taking most of the oil out of Alaska now. BP controls Prudhoe Bay last time I checked. Which foreign oil company would you like to give ANWAR to? Maybe one from Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, or Saudi Arabia?
Do you realize that oil consumption in the US has dropped from 20.8 (million barrels per day) in 2005 to 20.41 in 2008 while total world production is up? Source: US E.I.A. - http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/cfapps/STEO_Que…
Try getting an education instead of parroting right-wing talking points.
