Audacity Of Congress
While liberals in the US, including Sierra Club, have successfully lobbied congress to prevent domestic oil exploration, today the House has the AUDACITY to pass a law allowing the US to sue OPEC countries "---for limiting oil supplies---" (see below). That law should be extended to include liberal congressmen and the Sierra Club! Why should other countries be expected to do what we in the US will not do!! Idiots!!

While I disagree with the name calling of Sierra Club as "liberals" - a breakdown and stereotype that really needs to be put to rest. I do agree that we need to proceed with our own oil exploration. The European countries we visited this summer were paying an approximate (after conversions) $10 per gallon. However, in Egypt the gas (after conversion) was approximately 10 cents, yes cents per gallon. Makes a big difference when it is in your own back yard.
Adrienne, Have members of the Siera Club ever hindered, in any way, the advancement of our developing our own sources of energy? It they have, they are "Liberals" because conversatives believe in the market place to produce all the energy that we need.
