I'd like to see Citgo summarily ceased.
Better living through Government intervention of every facet of our lives./s
As usual, democrats go after those who create jobs, democrats destroy jobs, and then look for a red herring to detract attention and shift blame.
Ceased would work, too ;'}
When gas hits $ 8.00 a gallon EVERYONE will know where the blame belongs...DEMOCRATS!!!!
It's all set up for Mrs. Clinton to return to power--almost like having psychic powers...
I HEAR YOU! Sadly, I'm one of the few...:<

President Ford used his veto pen over eighty times with a Democratic congress. Guess W will need to keep his at the ready during the next two years.
What the left doesn't tell you is that it's Kennedy who has done favors, for HIS oil company, while he's been in Congress.
From the book Do As I Say:
Many people are surprised to learn that the Kennedys have been major players in the oil business and continue to receive sizable checks for crude being pumped from their numerous properties.
The Kennedy's have shrouded their oil ownership from the public; the Kennedy's own two oil companies that have drilled for oil in 4 American states.
Financial disclosure records show to each extended Kennedy family members receives between $50-100,000 a year from properties that were purchased for their mineral rights (oil). In total, family revenue from crude oil and natural gas is more than $1 million a year.
Ted led a battle in the Senate (and won) to pass legislation which cut back on "excessive profits" for oil companies. But he made a nice little loophole for his own oil companies.
He made sure the legislation distinguished between "small struggling oil producers" (his companies) and large oil companies.
Another one to veto until it gose thru committe.

You may be true, but it doesn't matter. The people who demonize "Big Business" and "Big Oil" are credible to large numbers of Americans. It's tough to politically beat someone like this, especially when more and more Americans support whoever or whatever puts a buck in their pockets (disregarding long-term effects of the policies). I'm not saying all Americans believe it, but substantial numbers do.
lol....I live in Seattle. There's most likely, absolutely nothing you can enlighten me as to what liberal twits believe.
Saving us money? I don't see how this saves us money. We still are going to have to pay high gas prices and gas taxes. The democrats are just taking the money back and putting it somewhere else
" "Pump the water out of the other guy's side of the lake." "
Priceless!!
May I borrow that to use in my "discussions" with economic illiterates? (Sadly, some 99% of my acqaintances...)
Be my guest......Hey, I stole it!
Idiots, freaking idiots. I hate Democrats I wish people would wake up and vote every one of them out of office.
...and President Bush will vetoe it and they'll be inadequate votes for an override.
