Maxine Waters warns Shell president in House committee hearing

Posted: May 23, 2008
2008 WorldNetDaily

A report by Fox News, captured in a clip posted on YouTube.com (Must see video! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=maxine+waters+socialize) , showed Waters challenging the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, to guarantee the prices consumers pay will go down if the oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want off of U.S. shores.

Hofmeister replied: "I can guarantee to the American people, because of the inaction of the United States Congress, ever-increasing prices unless the demand comes down."

The Shell exec said paying $5 at the pump "will look like a very low price in the years to come if we are prohibited from finding new reserves, new opportunities to increase supplies."

Waters responded, in part, "And guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal will be about socializing … uh, um..."

The congresswoman paused to collect her thoughts [for about 5-6 seconds this went on, while her colleagues behind her laughed].

"...would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies..."

The oil executives responded, according to Fox News, by saying they've seen this before, in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.

Possibly Matthews is sick of the party? You know his brother is a Republican and even a party chairman, and even Chris was not always the whacko he has been for the last ten years or so.

Well, number one the woman is an idiot and would probably be challenged explaining the difference between an avocado and an automobile. Number two, there is no difference between a Democrat and a Socialist.

People called zer0 stupid. But he knows exactly how he is destroying America. I believe this dim wit though no genius by any stretch, knows how she is purposely destroying America too. But yeah, she is pretty stupid.

Whether he intended to or not...

Matthews asked a tough question. Apparently even HE has a limit.

He IS basically stupid. His handlers do most of the thinking and strategizing for him. Thus the steady need for teleprompters. When the handlers need time to figure out what he should do or say next they send him out to play golf. Well, that's my take on it anyway.

What the Democrats need to do is produce a daily TV talk show featuring Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi discussing the issues of the day.

It would be like ‘’The View’’ only with more white women.

Why should an old white male like Chris Matthews have the opportunity to ask Debbie and the others simple questions that they don’t know the answers to and thereby make them look stupid?

Debbie and Nancy could also give tips on cosmetic surgery, finding the most flattering hair styles if you want to look like a wild man from Borneo who just stuck his finger into an electrical socket, and which headscarves to wear when bowing down to various Middle Eastern dictators.

Thanks for the assist.

Wouldn't it be sweet if our candidates started asking Chris Matthew's question to the Dems and their MSM cheeerleaders.

Ask Hillary, Bernie.

Back in the 90s, the Democratic Socialists of America proudly listed their congressional members on the web.

socialist Democrats have been a thing for many years. The problem is no one believed them and anyone pointing it out was called a Bircher Kook.

I, and many others often refer to the Democrat-Socialist Party. The Dems just aren’t ready to make it official.......yet.

He was trying to help the DNC head and she still couldn't describe the difference.

Not all Dems are stupid; in fact, many are quite smart.

Alas, however, Ms. Wasserperson Schultz is handicapped by a merciless stupidity that rivals Barbara Boxer's tragically challenged reasoning abilities.

That said, asking for a difference between the Dems and the Socialists is not an easy question for anyone to answer. (Lots of varied and vague definitions exist for both).

(Raising hand) “me, me, call on me, I know the answer!”

“Thank you, Professor Joethedrummer. The answer is, communism is when the ruling party has formed and they determine every facet of life for the proletariat, and socialism is when the proletariat is still voting his way to communism! I really like your tie, sir.”

“Well that’s my take on it anyway.”

It makes sense.

Making him appear to be arrogant and detached is the perfect smokescreen for giving his handlers a chance to fine-tune their tactics and rhetoric.

IMHO
