Investors Business Daily does get it!

“With a media wind at his back, Barack Obama regularly gets away with false and distorted statements. He repeated one Tuesday that seems superficially plausible but should not go unchallenged.”

“It’s disappointing that McCain failed to call out Obama on his figures, because he had an opening big enough to drive an Exxon Mobil tanker truck through.”

“The problem isn’t Obama’s claim about consumption. The U.S. does go through about a quarter of the oil used across the globe (it also, by the way, produces 28% of the world’s goods and services, but that’s another story).”

“No, the real problem is that the oft-repeated claim of the U.S. having 3% or less of world reserves doesn’t stand up”.

• April 2008.  The U.S. Geological Service issued a report that only scientists and oilmen knew was coming.  It is a revised report (not updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana … check THIS out:
  • The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, with the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil by itself.
  • The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable… at $107 a barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
  • ‘When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.’ says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.
  • ‘This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,’ reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
  • It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the ’Bakken.’ And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada .
• For years, U.S.oil exploration has been considered a dead end.  Even the Liberal hated ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major onshore oil wells decades ago.  However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s massive reserves.  We now can access of up to 500 billion barrels of light, sweet oil
• The estimated cost to Americans is just $16 PER BARREL!
• Saudi Arabia is producing 9 million barrels per day. That is about 3.3 billion barrels per year. Thus 500 billion barrels is over 150 Saudi Arabias, or one Saudi Arabia for over 150 years of oil production!  And Liberals, including Obama, say we can’t drill ourselves out of the high oil price problem!!

• Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. Did you know on August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.  Liberals in State Government and Congress have stopped any progress!  [U.S.Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006]

• They reported this stunning news: “We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.”  Here are the official estimates:

                     -8  times as much oil as the total within Saudi Arabia
                     -18  times as much oil as the total within Iraq
                     -21  times as much oil as the total within Kuwait

• GREATER THAN THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST, NIGERIA, VENEZUELA, and INDONESIA put together, and it’s all right here in COLORADO, UTAH, and WYOMING.  James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says “we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels”. Untapped.
• That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.
• Using a conservative 1.3 trillion barrels this represents over 390 Saudi Arabias, or one Saudi Arabia for over 390 years of oil production!  And Liberals, including Obama, say we can’t drill ourselves out of the high oil price problem!!  Conservatives, like Sarah Palin, know we can!!

• Remember in August 2008, Liberals like Nancy Polisi and Harry Reid, stopped, then shut down Congress to keep Conservatives from speaking and passing a real energy plan, while Democrats went on vacation.  Did your gas, natural gas, electric, and heating oil costs go on vacation?
• Because the Liberal, leftist Democrats, Liberal Republicans, Liberal environmentalists (in contrast to Conservative environmentalists), and their willingly, ignorant accomplices the Liberal, leftist Drive-by media continue to hide the facts, misinform, and block all efforts in America to achieve independence from foreign oil.
• Even within the last two weeks they continued their misinformation to Coloradans and all Americans in their attempts to stop onshore drilling.  “Oil Shale Decision Assailed” (referring to current Liberal Democrat Colorado Governor Ritter and Colorado US Democrat Senator Ken Salazar), Rocky Mountain News, September 5, 2008.

• Don’t think foreign oil, especially ‘OPEC’, will drop its price?
• Think  again! 
• The truth is, its all about economics and the competitive marketplace.

• Stay informed (remember the Drive-by media have alot of captive minds of mush).
• Alert your friends and neighbors to the facts.
• Do not be afraid to discuss the facts with Liberals.
• Register is vote, if you have not yet done so.
• Vote.
• Support Conservative candidates for ALL local, state, and federal offices (it is not just in Congress where solutions are being stopped).
• Vote ALL Liberals out of office, be they Democrat, Republican, Independent, or other.
• Never, never, never give up!

• Consider that you (”all it takes is for good men to do nothing for evil to prevail”) will be approving the Liberal trashing of America and to kick yourself the next time you complain about:
  • almost $1 Trillion to be wasted on Fannie Mae bailout
  • too high taxes
  • too high gas prices
  • attacks on your freedom to speak
  • separation of church from State and attacks on your freedom of religion
  • usurpation of private property rights
  • attacks on your Second Amendment rights
  • total failure to control the borders
  • flood of illegal aliens
  • bankruptcy of Social Security
  • destruction of American manufacturing, and loss of American manufacturing jobs
  • destruction of American engineering superiority
  • destruction of the black family
  • destruction of over 50 million (more than an entire generation) Americans through legalized Abortion
  • waste of over $2 Trillion trying to eliminate the poor from America instead the number of poor increased.
  • destruction of literacy in America
  • destruction and complete failure of Public Education
  • and a great many more.
• .. because by doing NOTHING, you will have willingly forfeited your rights as an American Citizen and given your government over to the hate America, Liberal, leftists who have and continue to weaken and destroy this great, God blessed nation.

Drill Here, Drill Now!  Pay Less!!

Good comparison of the REALITY between the Do Nothing-No Drill Democrats and the Republican Energy Strategies

 

http://conservativeprincipals.blogspot.com/2008/07/analysis-of-differences-between.html

Energy: America’s energy crunch is sadly self-inflicted. While others around the world engage in a mad dash to find more oil reserves, Obama and the Leftist Leaders of the U.S. seems to think $140-a-barrel oil won’t be affected by more supply.

Drilling The Future  Part 1 of many

As you know, poll after poll shows that we are winning the argument about how to lower gas and diesel prices and develop more American energy now. 

 

But the even bigger news is that the anti-energy elites are desperately worried. They are not only criticizing us, but they are admitting that they are losing the argument.

 

And friends, that’s big. In fact, considering the source, that’s huge.

 

Recently, liberal group MoveOn.org in an email to their supporters sounded dejected. They wrote “Here’s the truth: Right now, progressives are losing this argument.”

 

That can mean only one thing - WE ARE WINNING THIS ARGUMENT!

 

In the energy debate, common sense is winning and it’s got the anti-energy elites rattled because they offer no solutions to lowering gas and diesel prices.

 

American Solutions, on the other hand, has taken a bold stand and has been leading the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” movement that has energized millions of Americans around a positive solution. Because of your help and the help of more than a million others, today an overwhelming majority of Americans support opening up new areas for exploration and drilling of American oil and gas, including offshore.

 

Even though MoveOn.org admits we are winning, they won’t quit, and there is still more work to be done.

 

Congress has left for a 5-week vacation without doing anything to address the soaring cost of gas and diesel. This inaction is unacceptable to the American people, many of whom can’t afford a vacation this year.

 

Earlier today, American Solutions held a press conference with Speaker Gingrich and Members of Congress still in Washington working to pass an energy bill.  Our message to them was simple:  On behalf of the 1.4 million Americans who have signed the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” petition, it’s time for Congress to take immediate action to lower gas and diesel prices.  Here’s a video from the event:
