Because the American people want one thing more than anything: their American lifestyle. And that lifestyle is threatened by a couple of things:
1. Oil prices
2. Environmental extremists
The winning political message is going to be:
You elect me, and I will vote yes—-to drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
You elect me, and I will vote yes—-to drilling for oil off the Atlantic Coast and the Pacific Coast.
You elect me, and I will vote yes—-to drilling in Alaska’s Anwar.
You elect me, and I will vote yes—-to oil shale extraction in Colorado.

BANG!! That was Don Wade hitting the nail on the big, media ignored head.
Conservation will be done, as people will do what they can to keep money in their pocket, but anyone thinking conservation is going to lower prices has their head in a very dark place, and has no common sense.
SUPPLY, stupid!
mark says:
I think this is right on the money. Increasing supply, especially supply that is under our control, should lower fuel prices and have the additional benefit of lowering the trade deficit.
Mike Closen says:
It's time to drill and it's time for our elected official's to pay for their own gas.I pay for my gas every day when i go to work,So why can't these guy's? We don't owe them anything since most of them don't do anything.I guess i wouldn't care either about fuel prices if it didn't affect me or my family.What happen to oil for food?It work's for me and most American's.
Vern Blythe says:
I agree with Mike C.,I also wonder what the tree hugger's think about Russia and China drilling off the coast of Cuba.It doesn't get much closer to us than that and let me see we should let them get the oil first that way their the blame for hurting the environment.
jeffro witherspoon says:
I also agree with mike closen i know there are ways for these auto companies to make vehicles to run on hydrogen so why dont they just do it ? and these companys have the power to drill whats the hold up? its all about greed what happpen to love thy brother . and in god we trust .
nancy Schroeder says:
Don, you went and did it again.Your always on target. Our country is being held hostage by the liberal democrats and the enviormentalts, and we need to get our country back and fast. It truly frightens me to think of the kind of life our grandchildren 11 months to 15yrs.will be facing in the years to come. Yes the liberals hated those SUV so much they wanted everyone to stop driving them. No one listen. So, now they'll show us, they'll drive us out of the car of OUR choice by forcing the gas prices so high that people will have no other choice other than to drive the cars the politicians want us to dive, and they win and we lose,America loses. Am I missing something here? did'nt we vote for these people to work for us and our Country? IT'S THE GAS STUPID!
