Idiots

Obama and McCain are idiots! They think you and I are idiots, too.

At a town hall meeting last week in Philadelphia John McCain was asked for his position on drilling in ANWR and elsewhere. He said that he opposed drilling in ANWR for the same reason that he "would not drill in the Grand Canyon... I believe this area should be kept pristine." (Proposed oil and gas exploration in ANWR would only affect 2,000 of its 19 million acres, or 0.01 percent.) So how many people are we keeping this area "pristine" for!? According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge which lies in the northeast corner of Alaska) receives approximately 1000 to 1500 visitors per year...compared to approximately 5 MILLION visitors at the Grand Canyon!

Obama thinks the solution is found in biofuels. Has no one ever told that knucklehead about the oil shale in Colorado or the huge coal deposits in Montana or the "tar-sands" in Canada, all of which could supply the petroleum needs of America for YEARS if the oil companies were allowed (and they would love to) spend some of their profits drilling and refining in those areas?!
