Why are we the middle man? The government should just send the checks over to Exxon.

2. And they forward the cash to stokholders, who send in their Repuke contributions just
in time for the 2008 campaign.

Whoever said that public financing of campaigns was going to be easy?

Especially if all the money has to be routed to the Rs! :rofl:

3. I would think the oil companies will produce more to keep
the price down for the elections. As I recall, it happened in 2006.
