Sounds like the CITGO office/building on Houston is ripe for a FREEP?

Anyone ever notice that the set background on O'Reilly Factor is a city scene with a prominent CITGO sign in the foreground. No need to give them free ad time.

"As long as we don't have to pay."

That sums it all up.

How is this possible in Alaska where every citizen gets a cash bonus every year from the sale of oil.

So if gasoline was $7 you would turn down free gas?

How easy to be scornful of others in dire need.

That's the lovely, liberal, socialist background photograph of Boston, MA. Although I must say that Citgo sign has been there in Kenmore Square since the early 60's,when it was still known as City Gas Co.

47% of Venezuelans live below the poverty line and he's giving oil to Americans.  I say let him do it.  After all it's probably a Karl Rove conspiracy anyway.

"We sure could welcome it," she said. "As long as we don't have to pay."

Chavez came to power by buying people's allegience and he stays in power through fear. He's nothing but a pig-faced mafia don who happens to control a country.

The pig-face Chavez is bribing the Alaskans. Will this make the govt. cave-in and continue buying their infected oil. It's nasty stuff, just like Chavez and his sulfuric acid self...

WTH are the Feds allowing other foreign governments to make deals like this with other state and local governments. Don't we have Interstate Commerce laws that regualate this type of non sense!

"How is this possible in Alaska where every citizen gets a cash bonus every year from the sale of oil."

Do you own any stocks that pay dividends? This is exactly what Alaskans receive: A "Dividend check." Why is this such a bad thing? People Outside think we are being paid off, or something, when the truth is, we are shareholders in Alaska's oil production, and the checks are usually less than a thousand dollars.

The villages are incredibly isolated, and any infrastructure is very expensive as a result. Most of the residents of these villages are not working, simply because of the lifestyle. They are hunters, and that is what they do. There aren't enough gas stations, grocery stores, or movie theaters, let alone fast-food places, to hire more than a handful of the villagers. The state probably has several "gift" programs like this in place, but the MSM prefers to give the airtime to the grandstanding of Venezuela's Chavez.

Glad you know what I'm referring to.

They should "Photoshop" the CITGO sign out of the photo!

Seriously, didn't the back of Judge Ito's SONY™ computer monitor have to be blurred during the O.J. trial becuase SONY™ was getting free tv ad time?

It's the little things that get to me sometimes ;-)

If Alaskans can take a freebie from a tyrannt, a mad man, a force of evil in the world and an ally of the worst enemies America has ever known and still hold their heads high, then they're not worthy of calling themselves Americans. I'd sooner freeze to death than take a drop of oil from this evil lunatic Chavez, or go bankrupt buying my own oil if that was the only alternative. I'd never, NEVER take a hand out from an enemy of America that said the most vile and disgusting things ever said about an American president by a foreign demagogue. And shame on anyone who does.

I'll take all the gas from Citgo I can get for free.

The time may come that the US just takes it all ...
