AMERICAblog: CQ: New McCain ad about oil prices lies about Obama

  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    the majority of Americans oppose off-shore and ANWR oil drilling.
    it's a loser idea.
    hence, McGrandpa's support...

    tls; the polls I've read are 80% for and 20% against. Never fear, Obama will cave and be for drilling anwar very shortly....

    We absolutely need alternative energy, and we need to commit money and resources to development of alternative energy. But that is a long term solution.

    The short term solution to the problem of energy independence is increased oil drilling and coal mining within the U.S.

    Rachel Maddow is on "Countdown" right now explaining how McCain VOTED AGAINST off shore drilling in 2003. He also said oil prices would not go down without drilling and new refineries. Its going down right now without those things. Phil Gramm and REPUBLICANS are responsible for the higher prices by DEREGULATION allowing SPECULATION to drive up prices. Republicans are lying pigs.

    The oil companies are not utilizing off shore and on shore tracts they already have available. Changing this moratorium would have no effect whatsoever, for decades.

    Lying sacks of shit.

    Plus:

    "While the U.S. oil industry want access to more federal lands to help reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, American-based companies are shipping record amounts of gasoline and diesel fuel to other countries.

    A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department.

    The surge in exports appears to contradict the pleas from the U.S. oil industry and the Bush administration for Congress to open more offshore waters and Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling."

    This, from the same people that got America to believe that Iraq was responsible for 9/11. This is a bush-league swindle compared to that.

    Of course the commercial is kind of nasty. Kids never lie.

    Forbes didn't say Gramm mis-spoke, he said Gramm "said something you're not supposed to say these days." Forbes's implication was that Gramm's comments were essentially correct, that things aren't as bad as we "whiners" like to think they are. Not only is that contention specious, given the fact that we've been buying into just about every phony pep talk that's come from the powers that be, but I take issue with Forbes's dismissive "these days." What about "THOSE days," when Jimmy Carter talked about the need for Americans to take difficult steps like energy conservation to cure the country's "malaise"? Boy, it turned out that no one could say something truly insightful like THAT and survive politically.
