Speaking outside at the Democratic National Convention (her first mistake) Speaker Nancy Pelosi was interrupted by chants of “Drill here! Drill now!” from protesters.

Rather than ignore them like she does everyone else she supposedly represents, Pelosi stopped, and responded with “Right HERE?” then reverting to playground style debate, came back with “Can we drill your brains?”

She keeps ignoring the issue, hoping that switching to recycled paper straws and “green” foods will help solve the energy issue… all the while spouting “but it would take a decade to reap any benefit from domestic drilling!”

Those 10 years are going to happen if we drill or not… had we been allowed to drill on our own shores during the Clinton years (gracefully blocked by Bill himself) we wouldn’t have to be wondering IF anything would come of off shore drilling.

I have heard plenty of people dismiss domestic drilling for any number of reasons but honestly… what would it hurt? Why NOT bolster our oil supply with domestic drilling while we’re developing these alternative energy methods?
