Gov. Crist drops support of offshore drilling ban

I guess this is how he kisses a*s to suck up to McCain in a bid for the republican vp spot. Whatever respect I ever had for this guy went out the door.

It's about time!

Oil revenue would be a boom to our economy.

Drill! Most politicians will agree that if cost of fuel makes travel too expensive, the tiny potential to damage the beaches is worth the risk.
Let's break the dependence on OPEC by using our own energy reserves.

Gov. Chawlie Crist, the Suntan in a Suit, as usual, comes down on both sides of any issue that may cause his approval rating to slide. By comparison Chawlie makes Claude Kirk look like the paragon of character and political gravitas.

This will be an interesting year. Most people are feeling the gas pains and many will no longer be able to justify our foreign dependency on oil. There may have to be a compromise between the environmentalists and those wanting to drill.

You Can't find a parking space at the beach anyway.

El-Fago wants to be Vice President, so he changed like a chameleon about drilling offshore. He is SUCH a scammer.

START DRILLING NOW!!! I'm tired of relying on foreign inports of oil. This is the way they are going to pull the United States down fur butting in where you shouldn't!!

I say NO MORE FOREIGN AIDE!! Lets take care of our own!

Vote republican if you "HATE" America....

he is doing the right thing. i agree 100%

Why are they opposed of offshore drilling? The beaches maybe beautiful from afar but you will either get murdered or catch a fatal disease if you swim in the water that is pollutioned with human waste that the state has been pumping into it for over 20 years. Who is fooling Who?

You are so 100% right....It should bring in a bunch of cash to the Florida economy. Lower taxes and fuel prices here for sure...

How would it be a boom? Who would really get money other than the oil companies, maybe a handful or oil rig jobs. I am not being spiteful/mean, I just want to know what you think. Thx.

That door swings both ways.... I think Michelle (OBAMA'S WIFE) wasn't proud of America until recently. What is she Republican....

Let's remember Massachusetts didn't want WINDMILLS (for energy) off the coastline. Teddy wouldn't have a good view. So the State voted "no" to windmills!

This(high gas prices)is all manufactured to force the outcry of the public and pols then to vote for drilling.

Fine for the WEST Coast of FL don't want it for the East coast. There is enough tar washing up on the beach from the ships that pass.

Let's no forget horizontal drilling, too.

It WILL happen, what a manipulation of the public. Those gas prices better DROP!

Charlie Crist is a ONE TERM GOVERNOR, he better hope for that VP position. But, if Crist does get the VP nod, it won't help the Rep ticket.

How about Leiberman for VP!

THE REAL STORY IS HOW MUCH HE WAS PAID TO DROP HIS OPPOSITION TO THE DRILLING BY THE OIL COMPANIES THAT RUN THIS NATIOn.

This is great news! We need our own oil supply. Drill, drill, drill! Vote Republican and protect our country from the socialist democrats!

this way prices will come down. and the rich will leave this state. they are the ones who live on the beaches anyhow and they are the ones who destroy counties and empires with their greed
