    You are kidding, right?

    Had Bill Clinton not stopped drilling, we would now have the oil we need to be more indendent. But no. The liberals/socialists have an agenda. This article is ridiculous. We have more oil under U.S. soil and OCS than all the mideast combined! We need to drill now. It is our land. Not the liberal jerks in Washington's. There are millions of us, 67% of whom want to drill our own oil, compared to a few hundred of the "officials" in Washington. Andrew Leonard is, so obviously, a liberal that this article is nothing more than propaganda. So utterly disgusting. I fought for my country, has he?
