I wondered when a boycott would be organized, and then got tired of waiting.

I believe that Joseph Farah is right.

We Should Boycott Chevron until VP Peter J. Robertson retracts his remarks.

The folowing quote "The United States would be better working toward energy "interdependence" with oil-producing countries, rather than seek independence. " (and more)
imply that the US should remain a vassal state to the house of Saud. Because "interdependence" really means "dependence".

It is stupid to boycott anything based on a news item from either WorldNut Daily or New Smax.

[Dog Gone]

Farah couldn't even give the quote, just one word. And we're supposed to follow his lead?

Joseph Farah is a lunatic. If he's right, it's by accident.

Your link doesn't lead to the story. Please provide the correct one or the story will be pulled.

"This notion of being energy independent is completely unreasonable," Robertson told the Mideast oil barons. "I don't think anyone actually believes that the U.S. can end its dependence on oil in the Middle East at all."

Wow, this is the second time tonight that I'm using this link.

This guy Robertson is a brown-nose suckup...

[trashcanbred]

In criticizing President Bush's call for independence from foreign oil sources, Robertson, too, told the Saudis what they wanted to hear.
The United States would be better working toward energy "interdependence" with oil-producing countries, rather than seek independence.

Um... just what exactly would you expect an excutive of any company to say to its suppliers??? Call me crazy but I cannot see how this even compares to any remark that Gore has made.

[cowtowney]

Aw Jeesh! I already boycott Exxon because they are a bunch of slimebuckets that polluted Alaska and then didn't have the gonads to face up to it and to this day are trying to litigate the thing to death. Then, they merged with Mobil, so I boycott them, also...then, you should avoid Citgo because of Hugo Chavez...now, this... and Chevron is the same as Texaco, so who is left? Fina? Shell? Racetrac?

[SlowBoat407]

One word: fungible

[KevinDavis]

Well I haven't seen a Chevron in my area, however, I'm boycotting Citgo...

[eleni121]

Done. Let's see what happens next. Whatever it is, it won't be good for Chevron's bottom line.

[billbears]

Fine, boycott Citgo and Chevron. That means the gas lines may be shorter at those stations and perhaps to gain customers they could drop their price a penny or two. I don't care where the oil comes from or who produces it. I buy gas where it's less expensive

[WhiteGuy]

Perhaps we should examine all the links to the house of saud before singling out chevron.................

[petercooper]

Boycott this!

[Outrance]

It sounds to me like the Democrats are ingratiating themselves with the Arabs in an attempt to shake them down for contributions like they did with the Chinese during the Clinton Administration.

I guess after Dean screwed them they are getting desparate for cash

[El Gato]

Why would any American shoot his mouth off like this?

$$$$

I understand Gore. This kind of sleazy, treacherous behavior is what we have come to expect from him. But how does a guy get to be vice chairman of Chevron without learning a little bit about decorum and diplomacy and patriotism?

By doing what is best for his company, not necessarily his county. And he's also judged by fairly short term measures, so if fighting keep us guzzling middle east oil helps Chevron's bottom line for the 3 or 4 quarters, then that's what he does and gets rewarded for.

If however his running his mouth before engaging his brain costs Chevron money in the short term, then he doesn't get rewarded and might even get punished by the shareholders who might just go find another VP.

[Wiseghy]

I can only point people toward Sunday's Dilbert.

Oil is a commodity, as is Gasoline. "Boycotting" commodities implies consumer power where none exists.

That said, it is dumb to pay extra for brand name gas, such as Shell or Chevron. It is a compound. The only thing that varies are the additives, which most indicate do absolutely nothing.

[scratcher]

Chevron gas is the most expensive where I live. I quit getting gas there a long time ago. The two stations near my home never have lines and usually no customers.

The United States would be better working toward energy "interdependence" with oil-producing countries, rather than seek independence.

Geesh! What a globalist! He probably sees methanol and hybrid technology as threats to his oil wealth rather than as budding investment opportunities.

I had a random thought last night (if I remember the time correctly). It's basically that all corporate chairmen should be replaced by law every 10 years. Some of these people are nuts (Ted Turner supporting the UN, for example)! Threat to national security? No problemo; it helps MY bottom line!

Furthermore, it's quite possible that some other bunch of corporate swine are responsible for my Mom and a bunch of other people losing their jobs for no good reason. However, I'm willing to wait for the full story before breaking out the nooses.

On the other hand, even their slimy corporate-nesses are worth protecting, liberty-wise. It's not like we are forced at gunpoint to buy their stock or products, anyhow. </RANT OFF>

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I'd rather boycott Citgo right now (and I do). The socialist tick-turd being funded by that entity is right in our own hemisphere.
