#1 So how do we get the retards in the Senate to vote for it?

#2 Tell them the rigs will be manned by illegal aliens.

The senators haven't found a law-breaking illegal alien they didn't love or a law-abiding legal immigrant they didn't want to piss on.

#4 Boxer and DiFi will put a kibosh on it in the senate. The communists hold California hostage via the crroked politics of the Democratic party and the Judges and government department they own va the leadership of the state labor unions.

Ummm, a quibble perhaps, but there's no such thing as an "Illegal Alien" in international waters.

#7 It also would give states a portion of royalties and fees energy companies now pay exclusively to the federal government.

Ah, now I get it, a Bribe.

#9 Not only the commie Senators from Cal but their peers from Florida will probably try to stop it as well.

#10 Interesting. I was going to say that there is not a chance in hadies that they could get the Californians to accept this, but when you think about it, there are only 2 Senators from CA. Let's see, wa, or, ca, ga, fl, maybe the carolinas and va, the northeastern states and hi. I suspect the liberal senators supported their coastal buddies when oil was $3 a barrel - but I suspect they can only get about 20 states to vote against this.

#11 *wasn't* $3 a barrel

#12 The problem is that while there are only a few senators who are adamently opposed to oil-shore drilling, they usually manage to call in a lot of favors. It's the usual sort of horse-trading. Be sure they've let Kerry and Kennedy know that if their votes aren't forthcoming on the ban, the wind farms will end up being built in Nantucket. And so on.

They'll get their 40 senators to filibuster this easily :-(

#20 ecos, Donks and leftists trust Fidel and Chicoms to keep the environment safe, plus the evil capitalist pigs are not reaping the benefits

#21 I'm wrong, they already have many rigs working
Google "Cuba, oil rigs, gulf"
between 12 and 36 reported.
