Yep, I work for a oil and gas company, we have several platforms in the Gulf and Offshore California. The location for drilling in ANWR is not the pretty green slopes and mountains the media reports it to be. It is pretty cold up there, lots of ice and snow.

6:45 am and lack of sleep and caffine not kicking …

excuse me.

You guys do realize we have offshore rigs up here. Some are Federal leases the rest are State.

I am waiting to see what he says on ANWR, then go with it. Because the first time he says Drill it and then takes it back, I may be someone on the other side of the earth, I will make sure a few good Friends up here start a rally…. that can spread.

I have to agree with you dhunter. However, I think we could avoid the train wreck with McCain in office. He just may listen to the will of the American people when we slammed them for the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill. If Obama gets in office, I will be clinging to my checkbook, 401k, savings, etc. If McCain gets in office, I will cling to my pocketchange and scream at him to get drilling!

I’m with TexasJew he’s a lib Dem wrapped in Republican hides and I can smell the stink every time he flips or flops one way or the other to cover his political ass and lie to conservatives.

Unfortunately he may be the only choice we have. Do we want Reps. or Dems to get credit for the coming train wreck, Depression?

TexasJew, you make you case well. And McCain is a snake in the grass, but not a rattler. We should keep in mind to respect what remains of states’ rights in principle as the federals have squeezed local control of anything out of the picture. This week, CA residents have voiced their desire to renew drilling offshore. We’ll see how that fickle population pans out. As you said, Alaskans are all for drilling NOW and went to the trouble of preparing the pipeline years ago for business. And for the US to stand back and allow China to abscond with reserves off Florida is INSANITY! We saved it for China?!

I’m in the oil business and can tell you emphatically that McCain’s position on ANWR and Carbon Credits will destroy not just the domestic oil industry, but our huge and precious coal industries. I don’t buy this phoney “epiphany”. McCain’s epiphanies – such as his immigration epiphany – an admittedly total fraud utilized to obtain the nomination – as we all now can see – are just lies and wedge-issue pandering.

He is the single most important reason our 1-1.5 million barrels of oil per day (25%+ of our total national production) is not being pumped out of ANWR at this moment. His was the tie-breaking vote, and he sided with his fellow buddies, the Democrats.

The WSJ made the observation that McCain doesn’t even seem to have the basic intelligence to consider what all these contradictory “big policy” initiatives will actually result in. He’s all over the map on a number of issues. It’s pathetic watching him stumble around like a drunken sailor.

I’m humiliated as a Republican to have this trainwreck of a candidate ricochet around the political spectrum, whoring for left-wing and so-called “moderate” votes while performing a disingenuous shell game with the conservative base of his party.

I’m not impressed with his blather about continental shelf drilling. Why does he have to beg the states to approve? It’s a Federal and national security issue, after all.
I don’t think he’s serious about this issue, since California will deny any drilling of their huge offshore reserves. And what about ALaska? They are crying for ANWR to be developed. McCain says: “screw ‘em”. Total schizophrenia and typical McCain pandering/ lying/ backstabbing. It’s his M.O., after all.

I’m proud to totally detest that SOB. Call me all the names you want..

McCain’s jailer informs us they were “friends and that he would even vote for him:

“McCain is my friend,” said 75-year-old Mr Duyet as he feeds the caged birds he now keeps in his garden in this coastal city. “If I was American, I would vote for him.”

…

But here comes, the poison pill, wait for it…:

“But I can confirm to you that we never tortured him. We never tortured any prisoners.” ..Mr Duyet reminisces instead about how he often summoned the future US presidential candidate to his private office for informal chats. “

Shame on the BBC, Shame Shame Shame

Well I tried to do old Paula,
But her face was such a mess
So I set my sights on Monica,
And I gave her that blue dress.

LickyLicky on June 24, 2008 at 11:22 PM

Then I tried to molest Katherine Willey,
But she wouldn’t let me lift up her dress
So I got desperate enough to sidle up to Hillary,
And she gave me such a bewildered look that to her everything I did confess.

and if Indy Conservative is out there, he’ll know the answer

canopfor on June 24, 2008 at 10:14 PM

I hope he still reads HA, and knows that he earned some genuine affection from some of us. I know he would sarcastically reject that :) but we will never know. He was banned.

MB4, you quoted me at 11:20PM & then ignored my comment. Does this mean you have no intelligent response? Shockah!

jgapinoy on June 24, 2008 at 11:22 PM

I gave you your response. If you didn’t like it then just suck it up.

But i don’t want you to feel like you are being ignored so do you like this any better?

McCain has some goofy ideas.

Understated but close enough for government work.

But to obsessively righteously bash tell the truth about him in a thread about domestic oil exploration–which McCain wants talks about out of both sides of his mouth more of–is desperation/derangement seeing him as he is.

I recommend that you start a blog. even if few people look at it, it’s a place where you can store your most creative stuff.

It was actually the whole song. I used to sit in my cube right under the speaker, and for some reason, the muzak rotation had that song on double play. I heard it ALL the time, and it was in the midst of the mess. I wish I had all my time-wasters. I did some really creative stuff back then… I hated my job. Now, when I hear that song, my own lyrics roll through my head.

I like his; I like parodies on current events. A lot. Oh! I did one on Elian Gonzales, too, on that song Genie in a Bottle called Cuban in a Closet. That one was AWESOME!!! I need to find that one.

if he gets out of line.

If he gets out of line? If?

lol.

You appear to have a serious case of ACS (Abused Conservative Syndrome), similar to Stockholm Syndrome and Abused Wife Syndrome. Some of us do not.
