Remember these politicians thought they didn't need new oil leases. They thought they could just "drill over there" where the "existing" leases were. Am I being clear : They thought you could just drill where you were already approved for , instead of drilling where you had determined the oil was. I bet they honestly think oil is under the ground everywhere evenly distributed. One thing I would not attempt is to underestimate the intelligence of politicians or Democrats. I don't know where the hell you got the idea they had any common sense. Haven't you ever seen them try to drive in their bumper-stickered cars spewing burning oil stinking up the joint? How about how they always get lost and forget the phone number or come unprepared or try to drive through a wash after a downpour. Or try to drive drunk or whatever. Don't you have any democrat friends? If so, then you should know they lacking in some important faculties. One time I got hot under the collar cause on NPR they were entertaining the idea that the WTC fell down because it didn't have a pointy top. Mother Nature had it in for the WTC. Also, I got some friends told my wife their kitchen countertop was higher than normal. Well I went over there with a tape measure. I didn't think twice that that was a marvel to them. Remember these people have PhD's and like to "help" people. They are in the "education" bidness and into "helping" people. That's why they don't care for folks that drop their "g's, or do practical stuff. Don't cha know? Also, don't discount the fact that a lot of them have "problems", like serious trauma in childhood, sometimes its minor stuff sometimes it can be real serious. These problems cause a lot of emotional grief and interfere with stuff like comprehending electricity and such.

I thought of something else regarding "liberal think". Look at what happened with the BailOut Program (BOP). The auto guys saw all of the Goldman folks getting billions and trillions of bailout tarps. So they go down to Congress and say "We going broke, we flew down here to pick up some BailOut Tarps for our bidness" And the Dems said, "You can't fly down here to pick up cash, what are you thinking. You go home and DRIVE back down here then we going to give you the money, and you going to have to say "pretty please" too." It ain't their money, they doing it for the kids, everything's for the kids, so might as well use the kid's money. I bet Al Kader is going to show up next with their begging bowl, going, well we wouldn't be terrizing folks if we had more money, how about a giant terrist tarp? Then they heck yeah, we know you was just hurting and poor, that just make you mad as heck. Sure, we throw you a tarp too, we just get it from this big jar here labeled "Tarps For Tots". Take as much as you want, just don't be terrizing nobody no more, OK, AllRight, I said it before and I say It again, You hurting and need help, well, CHANGE IS ON THE WAY. Remember when Greenspam used to go in front of them Pols and say Greenspeak psychobabble, they used to say : "I don't know what you said , but it sure did sound important and true. Anyways, I wanted to ask , the poor folks what can't afford a home, what can we do for them?" Then the Greenie would carry on about getting an adjustable mortgage and lowering the risk premium by selling some MBS to China and covering the bets 40 to 1 with some CDS protection. Then they say Thank you sir for lowering yoself to visit us.
