Schwarzenegger: McCain "Blowing Smoke" On Offshore Drilling

In a speech on climate change in Florida, the California governor diverged from his prepared remarks to blast supporters of offshore drilling.

America is so addicted to oil that it will take years to ween ourselves from it. To look for new ways to feed our addiction is not the answer. Anyone who tells you this would bring down gas prices anytime soon is blowing smoke.

John McCain, who Schwarzenegger endorsed in January, recently became one of those people. He explained his sudden support for offshore drilling by arguing that it would be ""very helpful in the short term resolving our energy crisis." The Huffington Post couldn't find an expert who thought McCain's plan would actually provide short-term relif.

This man is a piece of work. He is such a buffoon until his own party members
are turning on him one by one. Nice try John you have no short term plan.

We need more Republicans like Ahnold, imo. He doesn't let party affiliation stand in the way of getting things done. Pity that it takes someone who wasn't even born in this country to remind us of what Republicans used to be before they got the keys to the trough on capitol hill and proceeded to gorge themselves until they, and their party, exploded from their own gluttony.
