Republicans Protest Over Offshore Drilling Via Twitter

You can call it partisan pranks if you like. What was clearly demonstrated is the Democratic preference that there be no solution to the supply and demand problem concerning oil. They prefer high gas prices, the higher the better. Pelosi’s actions underscore her self serving disdain for America and the American public. Had there been a vote for some stupid law to strip more personal rights from individuals at stake, she’d have been all over it. The most partisan aspect of the issue was the purely PARTISAN efforts of the Democrats to maintain the status quo. Despicable.

The simple minded Democratic spin is that Replublicans represent oil companies. This works for those on the left side of the IQ bell curve, however anyone with half a brain knows that oil companies are businesses with self interests, like ALL businesses. The sweet spot is where your interests and the interests of such a business meet and our interests intersect oil company interests on this issue. Yes they stand to profit, but if our energy prices drop the nation stands to benefit. Pelosi and her gang of thieves will never allow this to happen though. They prefer the economy be sluggish. They prefer that low income families struggle to make ends meet. The worse off you are, the happier they are.

Where can I get one of those modified bugs? Oh, right, Burning Man.

Labatt = NIMBY.

The U.S. only has 2% of the world’s remaining oil reserves. Yet demand is increasing by far more than this every year. Is tapping into the tiny reserve we have left really going to lower gas prices? How much of the offshore oil will stay in the U.S. anyway, and how much will just be shipped overseas? I personally think it’s time we started seriously investing in alternatives instead of fighting about opening up the last of our protected lands for commercial use.

The only energy or oil monopoly in this country is a governmental institutionalized monopoly on our country energy market. The legislative branch has been engaging in anti-competitive energy practices from drilling to building new refineries and much more. They are in clear violation of the

“Sherman Antitrust Act
This Act expresses our national commitment to a free market economy in which competition free from private and governmental restraints leads to the best results for consumers.” http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/contact/newcase.htm#file

Clearly the governmental restraint are in violation of a free market economy and is criminal negligence on the part of the liberal politicians who are the real cartel that profit in taxes more then 3 to 1 to the oil companies that actually work for their money and then have to pay taxes on top of that. So when Oil profits go up the tax revenue increase is 3 times that of the oil companies. So who do you think is the real cartel???

This criminal incompetence of the democrats and legislative politicians anti free market energy economy in allowing American companies to meet American Oil needs is in need of change and with bush opening up offshore drilling it is time that we conservatives take a page from the left wing play book and for us to us the judicial system in upholding our laws and open up drilling.

Why dose the Senate call for investigations on big oil? Because they are trying to transfer the blame off of them by placing the blame on someone else. By placing the blame on the oil companies and keep people from seeing that government is the true problem they are able to offer false hope in an effort to gain more power and money from taxes while eliminating a free market economy in our country and forcing us to send our money to unfriendly Middle Eastern countries.

Why should we drill?
1) Create more high paying jobs for Americans
2) Become energy independent and stop sending $700 billion to middle eastern countries that support terrorism
3) Invest the $700 billion in America
4) $700 billion is 6% of the yearly US economy, and investing this in America would do what to our economy? Lower inflation and strengthen the US dollar?
5) Instantly drop the price of oil because oil Speculators like me would invest in commodity producers that provide the product like Exxon, Chevron, BP, Shell, because this is the smart investment. When Oil Speculators transfer investments the Oil price falls on the stock market.

To Tony: Who gave you the idea that “The U.S. only has 2% of the world’s remaining oil reserves” ? The truth is that the U.S. could supply the whole world with the amount of oil reserves we have.

To Labatt: “Be good and Gore will let you live on the high ground when the waters start rising.” You actually believe all of that hulla-baloo Al Gore has put out about “global warming”? Unbelievable. There are so many scientists who have testified that it doesn’t exist and that “global cooling” is just as prevalent. Not only that, but if Gore and his fellow liberals really believed what he had spoken, they wouldn’t be flying to campaign events and living in mansions which take a lot more power in which to light and operate appliances, than do most of our own homes. In other words, the “global warming” hoax was schemed up in an effort to hurt the economy, so those who are ignorant enough to believe in it, would not have a clue that the two are connected! Wake up and smell the coffee. You must be one of those people who cares more for the environment than you do for humankind.
