Where's the Green Party

Wow, I read quite a bit actually. Cuba will be drilling oil that we could have drilled and Canada is in negotiations with china to drill in the Alberta areas, but there's some fuzzy logic about that gas and oil not being used by the USA.

I don't pretend to know everything but I do know we could have been self sufficient long enough for alternates to be developed if we had only wanted to. At least we could have cut out the Mid East for sure.

And wasn't there something a year or so ago about China drilling just outside of our territorial waters? Close enough that we could of should of?

Lotta good marching around with protest signs has done. Look at NAFTA ... look at GAT ... look at WTO ... look at 1000 and 1 other protest groups that may or may not get media attention for one news cycle but little else.

When its right wingers, they're daft kooks ... when it's left wingers they get a grin and a nod but precious little else.

Look at how the protesters were treated in Pittsburgh recently ... all they got was tear gas and a ride in the patty wagon.

If you seriously think that Congress is going to go into a swoon over every agenda that comes down the pike think again. Money talks louder than 10,000 protesters.

The Green Party HAS and continues to hold protest rallies on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.......

If worse comes to worse, we'll ask sarge to bring his gun and he can start shooting at Red China once they start drilling.....

I do, my friend, I do, but you are not answering my question.

What is the Green Party going to do to stop it?

[irishbobcat]

Blame the Democrats and Republicans you have voted into office , my friends!

That figures, China will probably be drilling the Oil that we have denied ourselves. Way to go Greens and friends.

Here is a real challenge for the Green Party to actually do something that would be in the best interests of America.

Less talk more action!
