A real CONSERVATIVE would favor whatever was necessary to CONSERVE the precious and dwindling oil resources of the world. Even if that meant raising taxes to reduce consumption and even if that meant a little hardship now (in return for less hardship in the future).Why do conservatives not understand oil is the life of a nation? and stop the oil tax and tax gas hogs???????
They understand it perfectly well, that's why we are in Iraq. The price of oil will continue to go up and at some point people will start changing their behavior...especially when it runs out in 20 years or so.





PS The Roman Empire wasn't brought down by conservative beliefs -- the conservatives in Rome helped bring the Roman REPUBLIC to an end. Julius Caesar brought down the conservatives in Rome and started the process where more people were made citizens, freedman, foreigners and lower class people were brought into the government. The government under the republic was not as you described, it was corrupt and run mainly by and for the benefit of the upper classes, who held most of the power. The Empire lasted for 500 years in the west and almost 1500 years in the east.
We do understand. We have enough oil off the shores of California and the Gulf of Mexico to run this country for decades without importing a single drop of oil.





Unfortunately, a few years ago Democrats successfully sued to stop the drilling for oil off of the coast of California.





Having a secure supply of oil is a national security issue.





Edit: There is also nearly a trillion barrels of oil locked in shale rock in the Rockies. China, Brazil, and other countries have been successful in extracting oil from shale. Dutch researchers from Shell Oil are currently working in American Rockies on a new process for shale oil extraction.
Why don't the Democrats realize it and allow us to drill where we need to, build atomic power plants and use coal? Don't blame the Republicans, it was the Liberals that made up the BS about the President's comprehensive energy policy back in 2001. If you want to see an oil tax, let a Democrat get into the WH, considering that the first move a liberal makes is to either raise gas taxes or lay a stupid ';windfall profits'; tax on. Something that get passed on to the consumer in a heart beat.
They do understand, that's who is getting rich from it!
They aren't real conservatives. A Real con dosen't believe in tax except to supply the military.
conservatives DO understand oil is the life blood of our coutry thats we have been at war since Sept 11 to secure more oil








its the liberals that do not understand this they want us to pull out of the Mid East with out realizing what would happen if this country quit oil cold turkey..
