McSame, "Drill more domestically"

[SHRED]

As if oil corporations are somehow faithful or beholden to the USA in anyway other than getting what they can from "Uncle Sucker" for their own bottom line.

As if it is "our" oil.

As if oil corporations are not multi-national in ownership.

Good lord.
:crazy:

1. That would work -- IF our oil industry were nationalized.

So whaddya say, Mr. McCain? :evilgrin:

[baldguy]

2. And dump it on the int'l market.

Even now, 30 yrs after it opened, still 80% of the oil coming from Alaska's North Slope through the Alaska Pipeline goes to Japan.

5. Are you kidding? Where's the shortage then?

I am speechless. really. people don't know this.

See any gas lines? Any rationing? Stations closing because they have nothing to sell? No. This whole situation is manufactured. It's Enron all over again, but with oil instead of electricity.

[baldguy]

7. oops

[bluedawg12]

9. No! Markets manipulated by commodities traders? and chimp does

nothing? I can't believe it! :sarcasm:

So, anyone know the uh....rationalization for off-shore drilling...?

What do they claim it will yield and when?

You know --this almost makes me think there might be corruption ..high up there...somewhere.

10. Hey I am on another forum with decent folks and I want to educate

them and oppose the RW influence. any links about Japan and the 80% figure?

I am sure some RW fool will ask.

[BeFree]

3. Yeah, but

The reason we haven't yet drilled more here is that oil in the ground is like money in the bank. And now that it is selling for $130 the withdrawals will begin in earnest.


Funny how all of us here agree we are being raped, but a small faction is telling the rest of us we should just lay still and take it.

4. Shred, Shred, Shred...

Please remember McSenile is well, senile.

6. Chimperator is still i n power and just now on TV

shilling for bigpetro and pushing his off shore drilling agenda as a panacea for high oil prices.

not a f*cking word about alternatives--just his usual shove it up our arses here is the plan if you don't go along with it you are keeping prices high for the peepuhl.

No debate, nothing, he just get's motivated about anything when it has to do with BIG oiy-ill.

Ignore Iowa, take the grand tour of Europe and then come home and shill...ahhhh...life is good when you are king.

11. Any help on how to debate with repigs on another forum

usually i don't bother with the repigs but this is a non political forum with decent people and many dems from the heart land, at home moms and such..i hate to let a few RW blow hards dominate the topic and how the off shore drilling is boffo!

I need to get back to work...any thoughts coutner arguments, links welcome.

These are voters, and the people we want to reach, and any little forum like that is worth the outreach... they email, they have friends and family- many are Dems-- they go to cons ( well for scifi topics--but still ...)

thanks.

12. Tell them...

They are being screwed and since they like it so much, they should just keep rolling over.

Fact is that Iraq has stopped shipping oil and since then gas prices have risen.

[bluedawg12]

14. Thanks that will help explain the cons of off shore drilling. n/t

13. Why didn't the Chimperor DO SOMETHING when gas prices doubled?

:shrug:

Why did the Chimp wait until prices have almost tripled to do something... even if it's just giving a speech?

:shrug:

Oh yeah, 'cause it's an election year and he has to appear as though he gives a fuck. :P
