Who are your biggest contributors?) ... Well, I can’t disclose our private donors. I mean they don’t wish to be disclosed. Well, we have received some support from Democracy Alliance this year (2007)
and the Democracy Alliance:
"Members of the Democracy Alliance include billionaires like George Soros and his son Jonathan Soros, former Rockefeller Family Fund president Anne Bartley, San Francisco Bay Area donors Susie Tompkins Buell and Mark Buell, Hollywood director Rob Reiner, Taco Bell heir Rob McKay ... as well as New York financiers like Steven Gluckstern."
So if you hear this Vet's ad for Green energy, it's Soros. I'm sure this isn't news to many, but it was to me.
Ok, it seems to me they are putting words in the vets mouths.
To say we need to wean off of foreign oil is NOT the same thing as saying we need “Green energy.”
I think we need to wean off Middle East oil, but I think it should be by DRILLING OUR OWN OIL!!
So the organization is twisting the poll IMO.
It doesn’t mean they don’t want us to drill for our own oil and gas.
Mostly they’ve been duped by the left.
But they have fallen for the false dichotomy that we either rely on foreign oil or find alternate energy sources. They haven't thought about tapping into the oil resources that are abundant in the US.
Our enemies will not allow us to go to them indefinitely for our oil. That's common sense to many of us. Vets KNOW through dealing with enemies that our days are numbered in buying THEIR oil.
Treason thy name is Soros and Liberals in Congress and thugs in our White House.
Why would animal doctors support this bill?
I wasn’t of the impression that the energy bill contains a material “drill here drill now” provision or that as much as 80% of our veterans have any expertise in generating reliable kilowattage from pinwheels.
Then again, there’s so much to read these days and I find it pretty difficult to keep up with most reliable sources of information that I generally don’t get around to the Houston newspapers all that much.
More leftist propaganda.
This is bull. Don't buy it. The Demoncrats do NOT want to drill for oil - they ALWAYS phrase this as FUTURE PLANS after studying it. Heck we have studied it to death already and KNOW where our OIL is in THIS country.
Nuclear power is still wrongly viewed as being a form of a nuclear bomb - which it isn't. Three Mile Island will come up and people will fall for the disinformation.
Ah,”caps on greenhouse gases blamed for global warming” - this is what they WANT and will DO if PASSED. Cap and trade will further KILL business. There is NO EVIDENCE that “greenhouse gases” contribute to gloBULL warming. It's another socialistic money grab to redistribute wealth and punish capitalists. They are teasing people by letting them believe they will become energy independent when they have NO INTENTION of doing that - it's a sneaky way to bundle Cap and Trade with something people WANT - energy independence but will not get.
For example, I read elsewhere that an area in Alaska will be "studied" for oil drilling. Of course it has already been determined that their target HAS NO OIL. Where we KNOW there is oil, is OFF LIMITS for drilling. So it will be another colossal waste of time and money and another useless expensive study. The taxpayers will be screwed again.
This is NOT about a plentiful supply of energy entirely controlled by the US for national defense and reduce risk to the military in defending foreign oil.
It is about squandering tax dollars on alternative energy schemes that won't deliver and will destroy the US economy and national defense.
But, don't worry, a few elite leftists will get enormously wealthy, so it's all ok.
How many of these “Vets” are REAL front-line troops or how many of them are REMFs?
If you take a poll asking Americans if we should “wean ourselves off of foreign” ANYTHING you will get a majority yes response. Just more typical Dem spin/propaganda to push Cap n Tax.
