The earth will continue to make more oil as it is a natural process of our planet.The likelyhood of us actually running out is nil.
Ask this question"when if ever will the democratic party allow exploration
for oil in our country and are you and the preservation of our American
life important to them?"

Ah, yes, the conservative ideal of the command economy.
Bush and other conservatives have picked nuclear power as the technology winner, and then proposed lots of government subsidies and incentives to make this mature technology something capitalists are getting enough welfare to eliminate the risk of financial failure.
And while scientists and engineers in the liberal US universities have proposed new fuel cycles for nuclear to eliminate the spent fuel disposal problem, no US capitalist, nor any global capitalist, has bothered to take the idea and run with it. Instead all the applied research is being funded by governments, and the first step to the next generation nuclear is being done in China, with France and Japan also investing lots of government money in testing out the ideas of US liberals. (I know it is liberal science because I've read about it in Scientific American, which is obviously a liberal propoganda organ.)
But what is Bush proposing to build in the US? The same state of the art nuclear reactor from three decades ago.
Of course, given the earth producing oil as fast as it is pumped out, it is clear that the US and global oil companies are holding back on their production in order to drive up prices. Clearly they can meet the entire US need for oil from Texas, Oklahoma, California, and Louisiana just like those States not only met the entire need of the US, but also supplied our allies during WWI and WWII. Clearly the oil companies have been taken over by liberals.
