Boone Pickens?

No thank you.

Four years ago he campaigned for thousands of government subsidized windmills in Texas and sought billions of dollars in government subsidies to build the power lines to carry the electricity.

Whoops, never mind...

Two years ago he changed his mind completely.

Then he decided he wanted billions in government subsidies to convert commercial truck engines to run on natural gas and billions more in government largess to build gas pipelines and fueling stations.

The guy is like Newt Gingrich...

A serial fantasist.

Every time he [they] hear an interesting technology idea, he goes on TV and dreams out loud until financial and engineering reality laughs him out of town.

Well said.

TBP is a pro-debt hustler that can easily con pro-debt politicians into pouring our tax dollars into bottomless money pits.

Pro-debt hustler TBP wants “Somebody else to make that happen,” and thus avoiding pouring his own money, time and effort into building his own business.

Unfortunately, Romney’s strong suit is to delegate, and thus Romney is vulnerable to con-artist hustlers such as T. Boone Pickens.

BTW Boone, the antidote to commie Obama’s “You didn’t build that” mind meld is simply: “ If you build that, they will come.” Put up or shut up.

Tick-Tock.
