Please know that people are passionate about this on both side. I believe we have folks here that are intelligent enough to listen to other points of view and debate with out taking things to a personal level.

I'll assume this doesn't include politicians of both parties?

Here's a great Daily Show clip, showing how the last 8 Presidents (3 Democrats, 5 Republicans) have told us how they'd get our country away from dependence on foreign oil. The original timeline of 1980 is now 2025....maybe. "We've redefined success...and still failed"

Living on the gulf coast myself we were excited about supporting the cause while enjoying another buffet show as we always do, but to drive 14 hrs. to sit through a bunch of political rhetotic, then we'll pass. We've been to five buffet shows and look forward to watching him every year now. Hell, we have to drive from South Padre Island to Dallas Texas and always had an awsome time. I'd just simply rather watch a great show for a great cause than to sit through a democratic convention. I know Jimmy's a huge Liberal which is fine, but I've always been greatful that he has'nt turned into a barbra strisand. Maybe he's been spending too much time with his liberal, elite, rich, pompas, friends from the hamptoms. For the record, I realize Bush might have let things slide as far as the oil companies were concerned, but Jimmy's buddy Clinton did not do much better to regulate things and Obama was not going to do a damm thing about as well. They are all polititians and for jimmy to pick one out of those three out is extremely hypoctitical. Two tickets going to waste.

Nor are we, the voting public, blameless either...because we keep voting these yahoos into office without researching their background, their views, their affiliations, their supporters. Many entertainers spout their political beliefs, that is nothing new either. But few actually do anything other than write a check, if that. Jimmy is trying to make a difference for the people, wildlife and environment of the gulf. How about we concentrate on that and leave the political stuff aside? For those of you lucky enough to be able to attend this event, spend a little time talking to the folks who live and work in this region and find out how they are really being affected, then report back to us. We're a resourceful group, I bet we can find a way to help. Let's stop the bickering and blaming and find out what is *really* going on...and then do what we parrotheads do best: Party with a purpose.

Great response...I completely agree. I thought everyone was upset with BP. I was a little surprised to see people backing their political agendas. There is an entire region of our country in need. I think we should concentrate on helping and not discussing politics.

Spoken so confidently that it must be fact. Thus no supporting reasoning is necessary.

We have ALOT of newbies that haven't been controversial and may be reading this. I don't want to scare them off by having them think that we won't associate with them if they don't have a huge post count

I wouldn't say that the 100 post minimum is a "huge" requirement...

Think about the tax revenue $7.00/gal gas would bring
