Drill now, ignore Obama/Rockefeller elitism (Rockefeller threatens Exxon to stop funding skeptics)
http://www.renewamerica.us ^ | July 21, 2008 | Wes Vernon

At least one family member has tried to silence those who have the temerity to disagree with him. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) has demanded that Exxon stop funding "global warming" skeptics — implying dire consequences from the Senate speech politburo if his wishes are defied.

Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)

I'm a West Virginian I just don't understand the ignorance of voters in this state. Maybe it has to do with unions, I don't know. But you'd think in a state with abundant coal reserves the Rockefeller would want to capitalize on it...

Exxon can stop funding skeptics when the govt stops funding “global warming scientists” who’d never get a job teaching high school physics were it not for our latest chicken little story.

A United States Senator threatens a private company over and idea? What next and where does he get off doing that? The Senate should come down on him for that one.

Rockefeller's day is coming.

Hope he burns for all the American troops that died because of his big mouth. Remember that he gave the Sunni insurgency a year's head start when he tipped off Syria in Jan. 2002 that the US invasion of Iraq was the real deal.

“Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) has demanded that Exxon stop funding “global warming” skeptics”

So rockefeller is anxious to piss on the first amendment if the ones doing the talking don’t agree with him... typical democrat.

DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW

AND COMBINE THAT WITH MAKING, BUYING, AND DRIVING FLEX FUEL VEHICLES!

Anne Korin, Co-Director for the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security spoke at a Young American Foundation, National Conservative Students Conference this morning. She spoke about the combo as the only way...NOT drilling only. She said it is a very real situation that we drill more, they drill less = same amount of oil.

I believe that we need to send the message that IT'S NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL....AND....COMBINE THAT AS SHE POINTS OUT, WITH FLEX-FUEL VEHICLES, OR WE'VE LOST THE BATTLE.

We need vehicles which offer us choices, to keep the playing field "honest." (my words) Competition is the only option, and when you have basically a drug cartel in the oil industry, you cannot escape its hold, UNLESS YOU CREATE VEHICLES...WHICH THEY ARE MAKING RIGHT NOW FOR BRAZIL...THAT ARE FLEX-FUEL (use whatever is the cheapest commodity at the time) VEHICLES!!!!!

COME ON CONGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) has demanded that Exxon stop funding "global warming" skeptics"

Rockerfeller is a bold faced LIAR, spreading the false rumor that "big oil" is funding "global warming skeptics".

Perhaps Rockerfeller should tell his own family of elitist world governance snobs to stop funding "Global warming Alarmists".

The truth of the matter is "big' oil" funds unbiased research, unfortunately some of those receiving "big oil" funds are "global warming alarmists" who play politics instead of doing real research.

Geez... don’t you just want to reach through the screen and slap Rockefeller around a little? Another selfish billionaire: “I got mine through my family’s corporate gangsterism. But you can just drop dead in the cold and dark.”

Funny thing,
I sent Nancy an e-mail, telling her I did’t appreciate her power use and about her stupid book. When I sent it through, it kicked it back blank, saying it did’t get sent. I wonder why?

Bullfrog
