Then the oil industry will be run as well as is New Orleans.

I am so mad now I think I might have a heart attack. I am sorry God, I really am sorry. But I hate them.

Same here. I had to get up and go outside before I blew a gasket. I hope he forgives me too because I hate them with a passion.

I guess they don't think they have to be anymore.

With the massess drinking up the Obama opiate, the Dems think no matter what they publicly state their policy stance, people are fainting over themselves to elect this man.

You would think that nearly 20 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, this sort of thing would be about as popular as stiff-armed salutes and swastikas. Are they trying to lose the next elections

I read that on a later post. I was going to check to see if it were on the net, but I had to leave my computer. Hopefully, you have found it by now.

Democrats = Socialists/Communists? This is news?

Ask most anyone from 20 - 35 if being Communist is a bad thing and they’ll look at you as if you were from outer space.

Maxine Waters had already said it a couple of weeks ago, and no Democrat scolded her.

I remember that. I guess she was testing the water. When she received no blow-back from it it was a signal.

Who else thinks the clintons are behind this idea in an attempt to derail the Messiah?

That stupid clintonista said drill on the ‘leases’ you have. Having a ‘lease’ does not mean there is oil there. What a dunce!

How would that lower oil prices which is the reason gas prices are as high as they are?

High oil prices are most of the reason, but limited refinery capacity is another part. Of course it's hard to see how government efficiency is going reduce refining costs or produce more gasoline.

Perhaps the Democrat Party should change its name to the Communist Party, or simply merge with the Communist Party.

Unfortunately, it is completely believable. It is already a widely known fact that they want to nationalize health care. This is just another step.

Pitch forks and torches time...

Never take a pitch fork to a gun battle. You'll end up like the Bonus Marchers.

Let them nationalize all the refineries that they will not let us build.

Then we can still use the existing ones 30-plus years old and outdated.

Since Venezuelan oil production peaked around 1997, and has been coming down since, I'm not sure that's the model we should want to emulate.

Not doubting the accuracy of the report, but they’re not this dumb. Can’t be.

This is a Karl Rove set-up!

70% of the voters will reject the idea, Rs and Ds alike. 30% will embrace it, but we all knew that.

ROVE YOU MAGNIFICANT BASTARD!
