they stop pumping when the price goes to low. there are thousands of sites approved for exploration and exploitation. “opening up” these areas that perry and bachmann and palin talk about is absolutely meaningless. the oil companies would be there already if they wanted to be there; and they would have been there a long time ago.

the thing is to keep them pumping and refining even when the price goes below where a specific margin can be made. when it’s that low, it’s cheaper to buy abroad.

it’s not open/closed/epa regulations that make us oil dependent. it’s the big oil/rebublican business model!

All you perry haters out there need to get a grip. I’ve worked in a plant and all the epa does is ask for stacks of paper and make it hard to do anything. They dont do what you think at all. Right now they just are a political tool for the admin to hack away at any businesses they want. sorry but that is the reality of it. It might be politically correct to say no drilling in the US because its not clean. but we are buying it from somewhere and burning it anyway. We can use our own oil and (Clean Natural GAS) and maybe get to where we are energy independent. Right now only the wealthiest people can afford a Tesla electric sports car but maybe if we all had high paying jobs we could have more people driving newer energy efficient cars. Cmon folks keep the money here and use it to make here a better place to live. vote perry cause romney is just like obama who just isnt gettin the job done

I’m a staff sergeant in the army and perry has the best plan for jobds and energy I have heard from any one. Also he would cut the department of defence, I don’t know about you but I like my paycheck. He is right we don’t need to depend upon any for oil or energy when we have our own stuff. And what has obama done for our country besides run it into the ground and sell parts off to china? Atlease perry will stand up to other countrys and not say sorry. You have support gov perrym from one military man to the other god bless and thank youm

Perry is only looking to line his own pockets for himself and for his state~ Texas~ at the cost of destroying Alaska! Further more he has failed to comprehend that the jobs that are need in the USA are construction and factory jobs! How does destroying Alaska wilderness create jobs in factories in states like Ohio and Missouri? It doesn’t!!! It only lines the pockets of the wealthy oil and gas companies who donate to his campaign! Perry claims that the casings for the drill will come from steel factories in America but HE can’t control where the oil companies buy their steel. And we all know they will import it from China, not buy in the USA. This man has NOT done his homework and he’s in the pockets of the oil industries! I would NEVER vote for him and I’m a conservative!

small businesses make up a large part of the US economy. Restaurants, tire shops, mechanics, pet shops..etc HOWEVER when they get regulated out of existence (due to high taxes, insurance, phony workman’s comp claims that drive UP premiums, Obamacare..etc) then all we have left are the EVIL Corporate Giants like Walmart and Costco and Target! They can AFFORD it and they get massive tax breaks to do so! They have MOST of thier stuff Made in China! So what happens to the rest of us? You Democrats claim the Republicans care about the BIG OIL and BIG corporate entities but it is the SMALL BUSINESSES that are dying and when they go, it’s over. And it is your PARTY that is regulating them out of existence!!

I can say one thing for Rick-he’s consistent and he’s so predictably Texas Republican. His jobs plan: enrich the oil producers (his buddies), pollute the environment, and just drop taxes (for the rich) and regulations entirely in the name of “job creation”. Were you around during the 1990′s Gov? Your friend Dubya bankrupted the country, put in place the “regulations” that led to the screwing of America, and lowered the taxes on corporations and the privileged few. They all did very well. The rest of us are paying the tab. Thanks Rick. Texas needs you. Do us all a favor and stay put in the Lone Star State.

Caine,Gingrich, Romney, Bachman, all have some get elected
21st Century contract or 999 plan for America’s economic growth which only pans out to be more bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo with higher taxes. Four year Governor ~ Rick Perry ~ of Texas has the best economic plan and best proven method in the United States, it’s called ~ Drill ~ America ~ Drill Capitalism, and he wants to use it for all of America in the 21st century.

NICE START GOVENOR Perry.

Now Pleasae prepare for the next debate, and get Sarah Palin to endorse you. She has about 3 million supporters that would be helpful to your campaign. They are worker bees. If they believe in you, they will be helpful and friendly.

I like the plan, I like the Gov of my state of TX.

He is a good man.

To the man that posted as Forest Gump—Bush has been out of office for almost 4 years. Its time to move on, dude.
