    Yeah but thats a 5-10 year time frame before we see any oil and there is STILL a federal ban on the off shore drilling.

    True, but just the fact that we're going to try and take matters into our own hands will have them fearing the future.

    Also, the Federal ban is a crock and unless they lift it the Democrats are really going to come off as the bad guys that are harming the country in it's time of need.

    I agree, with the presidential race so close I'm suprised that both sides arent tripping over themselves trying to be the first to get in the bill to end the ban. If Republicans lead the way and get it passed McCain will pull it out. If Democrats are in the lead then Obama will win.

    Obama oposes the drilling so if he gets elected, We will not have a shot at that.

    They need to also give us the fair tax act also, But god knows they are all afraid of what they dont understand fully.

    They're not afraid because they don't understand it, they're afraid because it takes away some of their powers and gives it back to the people.

    I know he does, but he will reap the benefits either way. I am also sure that he will change, or at elast temper, his stance if the issue does come up.

    I would absolutely LOVE to see the fairtax. I guess thats pretty obvious from my sig though.
