There are certain areas of the globe that we'd like to see not get spoiled for the long term for the sake of uncertain short-term gain.

What evidence is there that drilling "spoils" ANYTHING?

The area of ANWR on which drilling would occur in minuscule. There is no way in hell it could "spoil" the vast majority of the region.

The same is true of the OCS drilling. There simply isn't anything that might happen that far out that would do any significant damage environmentally.

The reality is that the Dems love power. Nothing more, nothing less. And they're exercising their power, at everyone else's expense. Al Gore thinks nothing of leaving his limo idling in the parking lot for an hour while he gives a condescending speech to the rest of us about how we ought to not use so much fuel.

F*cking hypocrites. Every last one of you.
