Chuck "the Schmuck" Shumer opened his mouth the other day and this is the bullshit that came out: "Even if we started drilling in ANWR we wouldn't get any oil from there until ten years from now."
That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard Chuckie say. On a side note, don't you think someone ruined a perfect penis when they put ears on him?
Chuckie's statement is like saying, "Even if you put money in an IRA or 401K you wouldn't be able to access it until you retire."
The Dims have been using this "ten years" argument for not drilling in ANWR for 14 years now. Just think, if BJ hadn't vetoed ANWR 14 years ago, we would have been getting oil from it now for 4 years.
Thanks BJ. Thanks Dimocrats.
Got it from Braden.
Obviously Dimocrats don't see the point. ANWR is an Arctic desert fer chrissakes. The indigenous people want drilling there. The people in Alaska want drilling there. The people opposed are buttheads like Kennedy and Chuckie who have never been there and have no intention of going there.
The freaking ecotards are gonna be the destruction of this country.
Assholes!

Posted by: Jim on May 8, 2008 01:54 PMDidn't Bill Clinton say the same thing abount 14 years ago as he vetoed the bill to allow drilling?

Posted by: recondo32 on May 8, 2008 03:27 PMDenny, this is the point I've been making about libs/socialists/dims for a long time now. They have no concept of the future and no game plan for the future. If something that is done now has no benefit NOW, then they want nothing to do with it. It is the mantra of all the socialist programs that they support. Don't worry about planning for the future because we are going to take care of you NOW and then in the future. Also, people are sadly mistaken about the effects drilling now will have on immediate fuel prices. I guarantee if we announce we are going to open ANWR, the Gulf and several of our mid western states to drilling, it will put enough of a scare into the sheet heads and camel jockeys to quicly find a way to lower prices and make them seem more USA friendly. It's time for Americans to put Americans (and humans) first and quit being such pussies regarding the enirowackos.
Drilling is a matter of national security..it should not be decided by cowards and activist judges.

schumer is worthless. If he had a gun and a moment of clarity he'd shoot himself
Posted by: patrick on May 8, 2008 10:42 PM2,000 acres, or 3 sq. miles. That's in a state of 587,000 sq. miles, or 20% the size of the whole U.S.! We're 2.5 times the size of Texas, for crying out loud - okay, now the size thing is settled. Can we just drill the thing & get on with it?
Posted by: Rev. Paul on May 9, 2008 01:59 AMI say Drill STAT...That's right away Teresa TDO...
Don't tell the Libs....
they are clueless any way
and if they do wake up...tell them that they discovered Green Tea in the Frozen Tundra!!!!!
I would love to see a "Big Oil" task force go to Congress with a copy of the ANWR charter...
BO: Pursuant to Paragraph such-and-such, Subparagraph so-ans-so, this land is set aside for oil exploration, and is free of restrictions blocking such exploration... this Charter was established by Congress.
Congress: You cannot drill there.
BO: (Looks at Charter) Then this is obviously not worth the paper it is printed on. (Tears Charter in half) Since this Congress has violated, and thereby invalidated the former ANWR charter, we are going to go drill! Thank you very much.
Congress: WTF?
I know... that would be too easy!
But, I can dream, can I not??
Chuck the Schmuck.....
You gotta have some sympathy for this guy......Senior Senator from New York & some Lez carpet bagger from Arkansas gets elected Junior Senator then steals all the thunder & headlines from you, runs for President relegating you to second tier.
Its bad enough you have to endure the Floater just up the coast but now her?? Life is just not fair, even for Assholes.
This has got to just suck big time!
Posted by: dudley1 on May 9, 2008 11:50 AMAs I have said before I don't care if we have to drill through a Baby Caribou's head. At least the guys on the rig could BBQ his ass and feed themselves. See I'm saving the oil companies some money already!
Posted by: kerrcarto on May 9, 2008 06:57 PMApparently the libtards in California are trying to say that the Polar Bear should be on the endangered species list. Even though there are three times the number of them from a few years ago. Thus, they can use this to stop drilling in Alaska. What next? The Libtards are all ready trying to starve us to death, hopefully they will send us free fly swatters so that we will look better to The Indo-Chinks on the tee-vee when they can save us by adopting us for 12 cents a week...we are going to hell in a Gucci bag with matching heels....and fast. Wake up people!
