says %26quot;Early this week, Senate Democrats introduced a resolution to block $1.4 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia unless Riyadh agreed to increase its oil production by 1 million barrels per day.%26quot; I thought the Democrats were AGAINST global warming!

You know, there%26#039;s some merit to your question. Also both McCain and Clinton want eliminate the federal gas tax this summer to make gas cheaper, when we really should be trying to curtail CO2 emissions. I guess it%26#039;s where the reality of getting elected runs up against principles.

Good point. The Democrats keep whining that Ralph Nader is taking away %26quot;their%26quot; votes, but it should be obvious exactly WHY Ralph Nader is getting their votes.

• maybe we should sell the 1.4 billion in arms and use that money to set up solar stations in the mojave to hook up to the current power grid we already have - then we wouldn%26#039;t need as much f***%26#039;n saudi oil any more
  
  Time to start thinking long term people!!!

  Harry Potter,
  
  Dems are increasing oil production. They say oil hurts the environment. You get it?
  
  I personally think we need to cut dependence on foreign oil and start extracting oil here at home.
• this is a stupid question what does an arms sale has to do with the enviroment why dont you tell your american friends to get rid of their gas guzzling SUV,s and the v 8 s and walk alittle more and don%26#039;t let the engine idle while waiting for the mrs to come out of the store
• Well...you are ignoring a BOLD fact . Like it , or not , we NEED oil . The Dems are just trying to relieve the current gas pinch , and for once , i believe they have come up with a good idea to help instead of hurt .
  
  Oh... and doctor .... My American friends and I will drive whatever cars we want and leave our engines running as much as we need to because we live in a FREE nation....Do you???
