the time now is to be afraid! The chinese are coming to take the oil away from you. As you know McCain is now for offshore drilling, but did you know that china is already drilling offshores?
That is right people BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID.

Yet no one can prove that the Chinese are drilling anywhere off Cuba's shoreline. The China-Cuba connection is "akin to urban legend," said Sen. Mel Martinez, a Republican from Florida who opposes drilling off the coast of his state but who backs exploration in ANWR."China is not drilling in Cuba's Gulf of Mexico waters, period,"
said Jorge Pinon, an energy fellow with the Center for Hemispheric Policy at the University of Miami and an expert in oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico. Martinez cited Pinon's research when he took to the Senate floor Wednesday to set the record straight.
Uh oh the McCain advisor was just caught in a lie. So who started this lie? Why Dick Cheney.

To gin up support for off-shore drilling, the Right has an ace up its rhetorical sleeve: the Chinese in Cuba. Here's Vice President Cheney."[O]il is being drilled right now 60 miles off the coast of Florida. We're not doing it. The Chinese are in cooperation with the Cuban government... Even the communists have figured out that a good answer to high prices is more supply. Yet Congress has said... no to drilling off Florida.''
Who had to admit he told a lie? Why Dick Cheney.

Last night, Vice President Dick Cheney's office admitted that his assertion before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that China is drilling "60 miles of the coast of Florida" was wrong and that, in fact, there is no Chinese deepwater drilling in that area.
Here is another fact.
From the Miami Herald:"China is not drilling in Cuba's Gulf of Mexico waters, period...," said Jorge Piñon, an energy expert at the University of Miami's Center for Hemispheric Policy...
"Piñon, who supports oil and gas exploration, said he met with several congressional offices Wednesday about the China-Cuba connection. He said he told them: `If you guys want to use this as a scare tactic to lift the moratorium on drilling off the west coast of Florida, at least be factual, be correct.' They didn't do their homework." [6/12/08]
Are you afraid yet? The GOP wants you to be afraid in order to vote Republican. You must be afraid! BE AFRAID!
