I don't think the hundreds of threatened wildlife species would find any humor in the destruction of their habitats. "Get those sources flowing"?? As if any ANWR oil would be available in the next decade?! John McCain will be LONG GONE from this earth before we see a drop of that pipeline oil, which, by the way, will get us through a couple years, at best, before we're screwed again. If I had one wish, it would be that Americans had some common sense. ANWR is not a joke.

Do we really want to continue that? To some of us the term "Maverick" means uncooperative, self-serving, and irresponsible when used to describe a person. At this point we need someone that will foster cooperation and unity. We need a "Leader" that will unite and lead the U.S. and the world, not a "Maverick" that will charge off in his own direction making statements like “if you aren't with us, you're against us." If these "Patriots" truly believe that America is the greatest country in the world, then they should be prepared to work within the greatest political system in the world to resolve its problems. Circumventing the Constitution and Bill of Rights and ignoring the will of the people at every turn (as you might expect a "Maverick" to do) does not demonstrate a proper understanding of or respect for the balanced structure of our government.

All the oil in the world want help us if the refinery capability it not there. If they discovered 100 billion barrels of oil today and drill it tomorrow the country could not process it for use. Currently, America refinery capability is max out. No new refinery built in over 30 years. Lies...lies...lies....and more lies. Drilling want help us today nor tomorrow as long as the oil companies can manipulate the country refinery capability. Vote Republican and continue getting the "SHAFT" with all the lies as freebie. Palin and McCain lies want help nor will drilling. Don't ask me ask the people that work the oil rigs, but at least they will have a job.

Then the oil companies can sell that oil to anyone, and guess who that is? China and India. At best, we'd see about 2 days worth of oil supply in about 4 years. Not to mention all the instant, horrific enviornmental damage done. The money and time spent on such fruitless endeavors could be spent transitioning all the rustbelt factories to electric car production, and we could finally start leading the world in bold ideas again. But no, "Drill baby, drill." So sad. Um, how many times does it need to be explained that it will take, at the least, one year plus to get any oil from offshore drilling.

It's not even so much her lack of government experience, it is her obvious lack of just overall knowledge that concerns me the most about her. She comes across as narrow minded. How can you be the possible leader of the free world if you barely made it outside of your own backyard. I think it's safe to say that she will self-destruct at this point. I used to have respect for McCain but I lost all of it when he announced Palin as the VP, I found it to be irresponsible.
