I heard something about Brazil found two oil deposits off their coast so rich, they could turn their contry from an oil importer, to an oil exporter. But in America it's against the law to drill off our coasts. Good thing China doesn't follow American law. Cheaper products for me to buy from WalMart!!!!

Hell do you know what the 'stragtic oil reserve' is? The US imports oil to pump into the ground? We have American oil already in the ground!!!

America, held hostage by 535 idiots, most ex-lawyers.

Newt really helped our current energy situation when he was in congress and not busy cheating on his wives.

P.S. To his defense, when he was speaker, oil was so cheap, when Clinton veto'd ANWAR research/exploration, how many American's complained about it?

Want change?

I always vote for the person who is not in office. Do not vote for the incumbents.

Last week, liberals in Congress voted for the equivalent of a $150 billion tax increase. They voted to make your next trip to the gas station more expensive; to make your next airplane ticket more expensive; to make heating your home more expensive -- even to make feeding your family more expensive.
How did they do it? By voting to block environmentally sound production of U.S. energy in favor of continuing to be held hostage to oil from foreign dictatorships. I'll explain in a minute.

Wonder when anyone in Congress actually filled up their own car with their own money!?

If anyone has a link to the individual votes on this I'd love to see it.

With all due respect, that is silly. What if the incumbent Senator sponsored numerous bills "for change" that did not become law?

It may sound silly but I understand the frustration that brings it about.

As far as I'm concerned, any 535 people who are not currently tied to the D.C. culture could do a better job than the current chair warmers.

I too understand the frustration, however that is no reason to vote blindly for anyone who is not currently in office without knowing their stance on issues that are important to you.

Rick,

I think you could select 535 people of moderate intelligence and they would come up with more reasonable legislation and policy than all the prima donas we have now.
