I wonder how much these bastards are contributing to Her Heinous's campaign?
It’s that evil Rove behind this I bet.
Interesting that you noted “Political Humor/Cartoons” as one of the topics
“I would begin to go directly at OPEC,” she said. “I think it’s been 25 years where we’ve, you know, largely just been at the mercy of the OPEC countries.”
Clinton said in addition to taking on OPEC members, she would confront oil companies about the rising cost of gasoline.
“You see, I really believe we’ve got to start right now demonstrating a willingness to take on these oil companies,” she said in response to a “This Week” audience question.
Populist Idiocy.
But...but...the DEMOCRATS are in CHARGE of the Senate! How can anything bad be happening to us? Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid PROMISED that they would LEAD the way and the streets would flow with milk and honey, there’d be a chicken in every pot and an electric car in every garage!
You mean *SNIF* they LIED to us to retain their political power? ;)
Gee, 25 years Hillary? 1974 seems like a good year. And ever since you socialist have kept the oil companies from drilling in the ANWR and off shore. That is why we have shortages!!!!!!!!!! you stupid bit$h!
Sheesh....I’m more qualified that her to be President....with that kind of statement...
“I would begin to go directly at OPEC,” she said. “I think it’s been 25 years where we’ve, you know, largely just been at the mercy of the OPEC countries.”
And where were you and Bill for the eight years, almost 1/3 of the 25 yrs, that is alluded to? The woman will say anything if she thinks it will get her a vote or two.
If Mrs. Clinton “already knows” that there is “market manipulation”, what is the purpose of the “investigation”?
The supposed cause of the problem has already been identified, the next step is a solution which should be proposed forthwith for consideration.
These investigations are just an exercise in assigning blame for high gas prices, they aren’t constructive in the least.
Hillary should start subsidizing gas prices with her own bank accounts.
By all means, Hillary, let’s start investigating.
First, I would investigate why Bill Clinton locked up all the clean-burning coal into a federal preserve of hundred of thousands of acres in Utah and other western states to pay back the Riadi clan of Indonesia, which holds competing coal interests in the world market, for their generous “contributions” to his campaigns and Library.
Then, I would see how a relatively few thousand enviro-nazis were able to freeze our exploration for oil on government land since the Clinton administration, oil that would be on the market now. That oil belongs to all of us, not to the Sierra Club, or Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez, or the multi-millionaire women representing CA. We are entitled to use it.
Last, I would investigate the refineries in the USA that typically run at only 87% efficiency in any given month. The oil companies always import and process less than the nation’s consumers are using, so the phony “shortage” continues, and the commodities speculators can run up the price to ridiculous heights.
Yeah, that crazy manipulation known as "Supply and Demand".
the gas prices have been manipulated by the democrat congress and senate who refuse to start domestic drilling for our own supplies.
Hillary, you, like the rest of your party, are economic idiots. Supply and demand. You either increase the supply of refined gasoline or you decrease the demand, or both. Only then will the price of gas go down. The oil companies have nothing to do with market prices, nor does the president. But you Democrats have caused this crisis with your unwillingness to allow exploration for new oil or the building of more refineries. High gas prices are YOUR fault.
Everytime someone complains to me about high gas prices by blaming Bush or the oil companies, I blast them right then and there and set them straight. ANWR would be up and producing right now if Clinton hadn’t vetoed the bill opening ANWE back in 1995.
OPEC can charge whatever they want. So can the oil companies. This bitch wants to regulate the market? It runs counter to free enterprise and basic economic principles. Carter tried that. Then again, they're both Marxists.
Trying to blame the oil companies just isn't going to work.
LOL
