Oil companies give a lot of money to Republicans. And Republicans usually go along with whatever the oil industry wants. You'd think the Republican Party would have a clue about the oil industry. The situation is obvious: demand is down and nobody wants to drill. And you propose more drilling? Are you saying the government should force oil companies to drill when it's not profitable? I'm still of the belief that oil companies should do what they think is right, and we should regulate them. But you want to force their hand. You want them to drill when drilling makes no sense. So who's the socialist here? In the end, the craziest thing is Republican ideas about oil. Oil companies give a lot of money to Republicans.

Umm, have you noticed that there are now 40% fewer drill rigs operating in the US than there were just six months ago? It seems our oil companies adopted a "Drill Somewhere Else, Drill Later" philosophy while you weren't looking. It's no surprise, demand has tanked and the good leases are in other countries. But what the hell do the oil companies know about the oil market? Only wise conservatives like Joe the Plumber know what's good for the oil industry.
