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!

[It’s starting to seem like more Americans agree with her unfortunately. BOR is one of them!]

Were the gov’t to take over oil, they would rape the profits, destroy the business and end the economy. Not ruin it.,.. end it!

BOR is an idiot. He lives and learn from BODY LANGUAGE?

Maroon describes him!

It's the socialization of America and unfortunately a lot of people agree with her. The Rats are playing the game like pros. First, restrict the ability to get the resources. Second, drive up the prices and blame “big oil”. Third, start passing legislation to tax “big oil” and put more regulations in place. Forth, when they pass it along to consumers blame them more and take over their businesses. The oil and gas companies had better be ready because no matter which one of the three gets elected they will be put in government control.

Maxine Waters supported a woman who murdered a cop. She asked Castro not to extradite her.

After the LA riots, she declared it a revolution not a riot. I guess those TVs running out of the stores were needed to pass the word about the revolution.

Bill O’Reilly is “former” tabloid tv host. On what basis is he conservative?

[blam]

Maxine Waters ought to be in a zoo.

Well, seeing that he agrees with Maxine proves that he is not only a lib but that he's ignorant.

All 'yo gas pump' are belong to us!

Hugo and Fidel - boy, there’s two guys whose total brain capacity is roughly equivalent to that of a fencepost.

John Galt is a character in Ayn Rands book.

She threatened to nationalize an oil company that is a Dutch Company, does she have plans to invade that country and take it over in order to do that. She is one stupid hitch!!

Maxine "Shut up!" Waters.

This is a picture of what happens when you mix arrogance and entitlement in a very small container.

[purpleraine]

Now she didn’t say nationalize, she said “socialize.” That’s what socialists do.

sounds like Mad Max has been drinking again...she needs to finish her rehab before being allowed to vote!

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

It’s all Bush’s and McCain’s fault!

You have to watch the Dance Remix of that O’Reilly meltdown.

Agreed!
