For Serious, or for spite?

Oil Spill Polls

The most astounding number from the poll? 28% of Republicans said the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico made them more likely to support drilling off the coast to an equal 28% who said it made them less likely to be supportive. 44% said it made no difference to them and that's understandable, but why would an oil spill make you more supportive of drilling?





Environmental catastrophes have the same affect on me. Seeing oil draped over the thousands of miles of ocean makes me think that since all the animals are dead the region is shot to hell, why not keep drilling? Maybe then gas prices will go down and I can start driving my new urban assault vehicle/suburban with the 300 gallon tank that's getting -3 miles to the gallon. Drill, baby drill!!!
