So you would rather buy from over seas than by from home. You would rather put foreigners to work instead of U.S. workers. ANWR alone would give 35,000 union paying jobs to the American workers.
Rex, let me put it in very simple terms so you can understand the problem we face. IT’S OUR DEPENDENTS ON FOREIGN OIL STUPID
Don’t worry. If BO gets elected he will do exactly what you want. Punish the oil companies, nationalize them and set the price at $1.99/gallon.
Now the question is do you think you’ll get ODD or EVEN days?
In all seriousness, do you think the oil price could be manipulated to get a DEM in office? Hmm.....
But a top executive from BP said the high prices are being driven by global forces.
Thats a bald faced lie. The U.S. purchases and consumes over 50% of the worlds oil. As the largest consumer we control the market and its time for the oil execs to stop lying about that.
Uh... maybe you should take 30 seconds to fact check your own statements. The U.S. consumes 25% of world oil.
Investor owned oil companies control 6% of reserves. Govenment owned oil companies control 94%. How are the private oil companies supposed to control prices?
This is really a heck of a campaign issue that's just been handed to the GOP, but being the Stupid Party, they probably won't use it.
Uh maybe you should read farther to find out I already had.
I would rather develop a source that won’t run out in less than a decade.
Fair enough. You did. I stand corrected.
