The willing stupidity of politicians will never cease to amaze me.

its all Bush's Fault ?

One thing's for sure. You were a moran 2 weeks ago and you still are one now.

Sadly most republicans probably believed it

Oh, sure. Everyone's going to jump on the anti-GOP bandwagon again.

The Chinese are stealing our air, our seaweed, and our Olympics. It's only a matter of time before they drill for our oil.

There's got to be some way I can drag Obama into this as well. I'll think about it.

/Off my meds.

Are there any adults in the house....ADULTS???

Not everyone from PA is this dumb.



I swear, I'm not that dumb. I SWEAR. HAND TO FSM.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Whatever happened to that? Why does it always have to be 'fear this, fear that'. I'm so sick of it that I just don't care anymore.

Big deal, Obama thinks we have 57 states.

FAIL much?

Rockdrummer:hmmm..

Hmmm what, exactly?

From your article:

China's Sinopec oil company does have an agreement with the Cuban government to develop onshore resources west of Havana, Piñon said. The Chinese have done some seismic testing, he said, but no drilling. Western diplomats in Havana told McClatchy that to the best of their knowledge there is no Chinese drilling offshore.

Did they say her name was Melissa Joan Hart?

NINE ELEVEN.

If it's in international waters close to the coast of Florida would it be ok for China to do this?

/I know ppl who still quote this china drilling story as fact

Maybe China is drilling out there... NOW!

Okay, but maybe... NOW!

NOW!

If making shiat up to scare voters is OK now I guess I can say that she spent the winter of 2007 being ass-fisted by Rosie O'Donnell and correct it next week by saying she wasn't ass-fisted then but maybe there was some ass+fist activity sometime in '08.

If only there was some way to take pictures of the ocean from above and compare them to pictures from a year ago.......


I know, it's crazy talk.

China has been eating our pancakes which has lead to food prices rising across the board.

duuuuuude:Not everyone from PA is this dumb.

Hmmmm.... Thinking... Thinking...

Not so sure.

bruce4bruce:If it's in international waters close to the coast of Florida would it be ok for China to do this?

From what I've heard they're being explored now.. by a few countries they just haven't started drilling yet. Also I don't think China has anything to do with this. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

What is funny is that I am in China drilling for oil for an American oil company...

With the limited number of offshore drilling rigs available, it should not be surprising that we eventually will use some Chinese rigs and partner with the Chinese on drilling as we do with every other country.

When this first came up, people were screaming about diagonal drilling (a variation of drinking our milkshake) to reserves that were in our waters.

Probably one of the more embarrassing made up stories. They even had maps of where the Chinese were supposably drilling.

Why do people vote for such farking idiots to represent them? Oh wait, nevermind.

Welcome to FARK, now crawl back in your hole.

I don't even get their logic if their claim was true: "Because the Chinese could theoretically cause an enviromental disaster, we're stupid if we don't risk the same thing?" Or as my mom would have said, "So if the Chinese go jump off a bridge does that mean you're going to too?"

A bad idea is a bad idea, it doesn't matter whose it is.

Are they drilling...right meow?

You really went out of your way to talk about ass-fisting...

rytheran:We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Whatever happened to that? Why does it always have to be 'fear this, fear that'. I'm so sick of it that I just don't care anymore.

I'm afraid you're right.

TJStix:You really went out of your way to talk about ass-fisting...

In the GOP the ass is the new vagina.

Why would the Chinese want to upset us by drilling off of Cuba, when all they have to do to get the oil is drill a hole from the other side of the planet through the center of the earth?

/maybe they could make the hole by have a bunch of Chinese repeatedly jump up and down in sync?

How does a Democrat's stance on drilling change if China was drilling off of Florida? Do they suddenly want us to drill?

I dunno, if a Republican commits a crime, do Republicans get soft on crime?

Hypnotoad2966:bruce4bruce:If it's in international waters close to the coast of Florida would it be ok for China to do this?

If the United States were to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (pops), it would gain exclusive legal rights to all undersea resources found to a maximum of 350 nautical miles offshore, provided the continental shelf in question is a natural extension of the US' territorial landmass. Where 350 mile radii overlap (as will be the case with Cuba, the Bahamas, Bermuda and so on), the default option is splitsies midway between the two countries.

Of course, the US hasn't ratified that treaty yet, mostly because there's still a voting block of neocons and the freaky-deaky black helicopter crew in the Senate that hate anything that smells of the Yooooo-Ennnnn. It's gotten increasingly hilarious that this opposition still exists, as even Dubya himself has swung to being in favour. (FWIW, Obama supports UNCLOS ratificatio. McCain did, back when he was a "moderate" and a "maverick," but has since decided as part of his uberconservative makeover that he has to howl about its need to be renegotiated.)

Until that happens, the Chinese would technically be in the legal clear to set up drilling operations 13 miles offshore. The notion of customary international law might kick in to complicate things, though...

Oh, and the notion of American warships might also.

TFH: GOP candidate: two weeks ago when I said China was drilling for oil on Florida's beaches I was wrong lying through my teeth to stir up FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR!!!, but that was two weeks ago and who knows what has happened since

FTFY.

why the fark does it matter if hes a GOP candidate. Peeps need to stop acting like the battle between GOP and Dems is one of epic, good vs evil, proportions. They are all thieving rats who should be thrown in jail for life.

Crazy Bacon Legs:Oh, sure. Everyone's going to jump on the anti-GOP bandwagon again.

They're trying to steal our title as "World's Biggest Polluter", too. Scroll to yesterday's links.

Welcome to FARK, now crawl back in your hole.

But it is all Bush's fault.. we could be drilling there right now.. however he has no money to bribe the congress as he spent it all on Iraq... and we aren't even Drilling there yet... isn't that sad?
well maybe when we invade Iran then we can get some oil ?

/better?

Are they saying a Repubtard is fear mongering? I just refuse to believe it.
