A point that my boyfriend Chris Matthews raised yesterday ...
 
If we drill in the Arctic, what guarantee is there that the oil would be sold in the U.S.? Wouldn't it go to the highest bidder, which could be the Chinese or anyone at all?

Thanks Alex. I'll have to get back to it later but it's nice to have the point by point.

3894 makes a point, it would probably be sold into the world market.

innerSpaceman 09-09-2008 10:00 AM

Not "probably," - it will most certainly be. The U.S. is a big oil exporter, and U.S.-based oil companies have no obligation to sell oil drilled for in the U.S. to the U.S. market. They don't now, and they won't if they are encouraged to "Drill Baby Drill" off the beautiful coastline of our glorious State that should secede from the union for the protection of our environment and our human rights to liberty.



Sigh, sorry for the seccession rant. Drill Baby Drill is the biggest canard being foisted by the oil companies and their Republican lackeys on the idiots that mostly comprise the American electorate who identify as Republicans, and they in turn are trying to foist that on the rest of us.


I'm getting pretty sick and tired of Obama lying down in the roadway to be trampled like Kerry before him. He may be a nice guy with some lofty ideals, but if he doesn't start to show some backbone and bare his teeth a bit, he deserves the loserdom that is heading his way.

Exactly.

But, hey, he has hope that he won't be trampled.

An interesting look into one of the factors that has shifted the polls in McCain's favor:
