Move on to a Republican site, where you'd actually have some company in your opinions.

It is not a matter of American oil being used by America.  There is no such thing as American oil, or Saudi oil, or Nigerian oil in a free market.  It is just OIL.

If we drill in VA, the benefit will be to the oil companies who do the drilling.  That oil has no garuntee of being used here...unless of course you think we should restrict the control of domestic oil and socialize it!!!
Even still we will see no real drop in prices.  (All of the world's other oil would still be priced on a world market.)  he world supply from our drilling would be only minutely increased, but there would still be the growing demand for oil due to places such as China and other quickly developing areas.

  As you know, when demand rises at a greater rate than supply we still get.....Higher Prices!!!

On the bright side, we WOULD have the benefit of the polution and oil spill risks!!! Not to mention the improved horizon view of oil rigs.  Awesome! Sounds great. 

Does not look too good.  Now the drilling issue. Oh brother. kc

Kellam says: "Actually, I do, and your position is totally wrong."

Great political ju-jitsu by Kellam.  And his position is probably actually well-received in the district.  I can't imagine that the Navy and the Eastern Shore farmers would be thrilled at the prospect of oil rigs cluttering up the entrance to the Chesapeake.

True ju-jitsu is to take an opponent's supposed strength and turn it back on him.

Kellam is trying to have it both ways:  bash his opponent's position without actually stating one himself.  Total obfuscation, which the voters will see right through.

So, can somebody point to the exact quote where Kellam says he's either for or against drilling?

Maybe he'll grow a pair and actually say something definitive, instead of campaigning like such a wuss.

Which begs the question -- why do Democrats always give us male candidates who squat to pee?

Kellam speaks for himself- I either agree or disagree.  If Bush says something I don't assume that he thinks for you or anyone else, unless they open their mouths and remove all doubt.  To do otherwise would show an extreme degree of predjudice. 

Natural gas or oil rigs would be stationed at least 50 miles from the coast -- by law -- and would not be visible to people, even if you put the Sears Tower at the water's edge and allowed people to stand on the roof.

The horizon is 12-miles away, folks.

Second, there is a 13-times greater likelihood that there will be an oil spill from a tanker, than from a rig/pipeline.

Third, mostly what Virginia would do would be natural gas.  Do you know what a natural gas spill looks like?  Bubbles.

Finally, I suppose that if you buy the argument that Drake has voted to give tax breaks to oil companies -- therefore she is beholden to them -- then you must must believe that those tax breaks should be rescinded.

Perfect!  The answer to high gas prices is to raise taxes on gas companies!

Brilliant!

What raises the price is scarcity and Gregg Palast has explained it in his new book Armed Madhouse.  The scarcities are purposeful.  They don't have to work as hard and can get much more money and we work harder and harder and grow tighter and tighter. 

anyway, if it's so fine, why has the military complained?  why is are Florida Republicans against drilling off their coast?

The state of Florida even sees it as a liability. It got hot down there, and it should get hot in Virginia. Thanks Kellam.

Two citizens were abducted from Lebanon, they came back and abducted Israeli soldiers, Israel bombs them, they shoot rockets back.  That is the order of events. The Israeli UN Ambassador is rewriting history.

The crazy evangelicals think they can pack their bags soon.  The Glory Train is coming.
