Befitting the catastrophic stupidity of this idea, she doesn’t even know what the proper term for it is. I’m sitting here telling myself that Shep and the Foxies must have taken this out of context somehow since it would seem rather newsworthy and yet there’s not a single article about it on the wires that I can find. Go figure. But here you go, one of the most alarming collectivist ad libs by a mainstream American politician since the last creepy thing Hillary said, whatever that may be. Viva Chavez!

That will be the day XOM relocates to Dubai. Their US refineries purchase 90% of their crude input. She can nationalize the refineries and pay Exxon Dubai for the crude.

I saw it too...can’t stand Waters.
On a different note here but involving Waters, last week she and anothe lib woman congress person from CA and a couple of other libs were listening to the testimony of a group of Iraq Vets Against the War. I did not get to see the whole show on CSpan but Waters was up on her high horse telling one of these guys that she was going to ensure he would get to have an education using the GI bill ...and I believe somewhere in the course of conversation it was stated that the former soldier in question was given a general discharge...not honorable...general which is a notch above a BCD which is not as bad as a Dishonorable but in either case a BCD or Dishonorable is a bad bad thing..a general is less bad...I would have to go an look up the restrictions on granting the GI bill and don’t know if one with a general discharge is entitled to education on the GI bill if he has a discharge other than an honorable discharge..
But in typical Maxine Waters style..she is going to bully her way into things going her way...Oh and in her unconscious moment she started to use the word socialize the oil industry which is clear that she is a socialist..At least that guy from VT owns up to what he is..

If Congress want's to see how our oil industry will fair becoming Nationalized, just take a look at Ramtrak ,, opps, I meant, Amtrak .
The only reason Amtrak still exist is because Congress barley funds it.

At least a bag of rocks won't raise your taxes and go all communist on you.

What is a hoot about ol BOR is his constant remarks to the effect, “ if this keeps on, let me know. I will take them on , get to the bottom of this, etc.” as if his threats have everyone shaking in the boots.. BOR is not some all powerful god but he sure thinks he is...

Are you referring to Bill O'Rielly? He is proving to be an a$$hole.

Have you seen the Bill O'Reilly Goes Crazy video (warning: graphic language)? Apparently he's been a jerk for decades. It must be a real joy to work with him.

The best her district has to offer.

BOR is one of them.

BOR's understanding of issues lack depth. He's kinda like the McDonalds of talk shows. Superficial blah.

Yeah, put people like MARXine Waters in charge of the oil companies. That will fix the supply problem-there won’t be any gas to buy at any price.
