the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.

Huh?

The refineries have very little to do with the price of gas, except, no refineries, no gas.

The Bolshecrat play book is that higher energy costs will force the public to sign on to their alternative clean sources. We have seen the success ethanol is. Junior has express dismay at how fast gas has gone up, not that it is too high. He will experience higher prices in his first term and that would mean no congress or second term. This will force him in his first congressional term raise taxes to subsidize the cost of gasoline, so that people will think he is doing something to bring down the price. Rationing will not be out of the question, but, that puts his failure into a form that people can see and feel. If he wants a second, if not a first, term he will go along with drilling.

The biggest problem the Bolshies have is their slavery to the environmental lobby. Windmills are suppose to be one of their great hopes. But, like everything else they do, they let the environmentalists dictate where. And, that is nowhere. Fat Ted won’t let them put windmills off Cape Cod.

I’m calling for the control of borders so we can better control the flow of illegal immigrants. They can take care of that first and then get back to us.

They need to deal with things they have control over and - nationalizing refineries is not one of them. It goes against everything our country is about.

The scary thing is that there are so many blind followers out there, that they might just agree with anything these Dem’s say.

Think retaliation against those who don’t vote for the Democrat party & Democrats appointing the bookkeepers for this refineries thus enabling themselves to the money that are supposed to go into maintaining the equipment to instead be skimmed off into democrat party coffers.

This will happen & if you doubt it just look at the rest of the world were the “Glorious leaders “ take over the oil industry this is exactly what happens & it is as predictable as watching the sun rise in the East.
