House Democrats responded to President’s Bush’s call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.
Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.
Ah, socialism.  The Democrats are at least finally being honest with America.

Congress had to privatize their cafeteria because they couldnt figure out how to run it, and Markie wants to give them the oil industry!
Funny Markie, private industry has, as a matter of national security, handled oil exploration, drilling and refining exceptionally well since — well, since the oil industry began.
Watch this Obama flak state the case for America running refineries.
These people should be shot

At least we know now that the leftist Obama and his Democrat Party minions plan to seize private businesses and force us into communism.
This needs to be broadcast far and wide. It puts the liar Obama in the worst possible spot, since there’s no way he can possibly back away from this without pissing off the Kos kidz for whom Waters is some sort of twisted saint.
How many thousands of employees will become unemployed as a result?
Sieg Heil, baby!!!

You Democrats can stop denying that you’re socialists now.
It also looks like 16% of Republicans are on-board with John McCain’s “obscene profits” rhetoric.
Now that I’m a VIP at ExxonMobil, I only pay $1.50 a gallon for gas.
Hinchey knows full well that the government regulations have hog-tied the oil industry from building more refineries.
However, the government constantly builds and operates installations that are exempted from the restrictions placed on private industry. Furthermore, even if the government built and operated refineries that met their strict standards, they would have to capitalize the investment with unrealistically low interest, extremely long term bonds that are essentially another level of taxation.
California alone has all manner of regulation for regional blends of gasoline. Will the government refinery be at the beck and call of the states?
#6 – That’s ok, markie baby. To us, you really don’t exist.

Pure insanity. I thought one of the biggest problems Liberals had with the Bush administration was all those “fat-cat” oil cronies of his that he’s been in cahoots with! They’re constantly screaming about Bush and oil as if he’s got some lever under his desk that he just cranks back and forth to funnel oil directly from the ground in Iraq through a giant undersea pipeline to his friends in Texas. Isn’t that what they mean by “war for oil?” None of them have ever actually explained it to me. So, if government controls the refineries, will that make Bush’s hand-held remote control that he uses to whimsically (and unilaterally) raise gas prices every morning obsolete? Are they just gonna trade it out with a new, slick iPhone that can control global gasoline prices? What are they gonna do if Obama gets elected and they wake up the day after the inauguration and drive to the gas station like it’s Christmas morning and see that prices are still $4.00+ (or $5.00+ by then)? Are they going to say to themselves, That’s okay. Obama is really busy right now, what with the inauguration and all. I’m sure he’ll remember to ask someone to teach him how to use the remote and turn the gas prices down to a buck or so by tomorrow morning. He’s probably got a millions things he’s got to take care of. If for some reason he forgets tomorrow, I guess I could just call the White House and leave a friendly reminder…
I don’t know how they put this stuff together in their minds. They literally believe our government has been under the control of a band of Nazi war criminals, but they are hellbent on handing the same institution complete control over virtually every aspect of their lives.
This is the same Congress that’s blocking the USAF from building an on-base integrated mine-to-refinery coal-to-jet fuel plant at one of the old Stategic Air-Command bases in ND?? The private-equity is already lined-up to finance and operate the plant on-lease from the USAF…and Congress is blocking it in favor of their fat-cat buddies’ Big-Oil contracts for JP8 and mil-spec diesel.
Now that is funny! You should consider open blogging at Ace of Spades.
Didn’t you say in one of the other threads that you were leaving? And yet here you are. You aren’t Alec Baldwin are you?
I can see it now: Pemex gas actually becomes desirable.
#15 – Typical libtard, lying through his teeth as usual.
I thought we’d seen the last of you. Oh, well, far be it from me to let you refrain from your masochistic ways.
Ann Coulter could probably bitch-slap you with hardly any effort.

Also, looks like Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) is now backtracking on his proposal to “nationalize” oil companies, using the old “I-never-meant-for-it-to-sound-like-that” argument.
Folks, there’s a word around these parts we use for “misspeaking.” It’s called LYING.
To these Dhimmicrats, a “faggot” is a gay man who just stepped out of the room.

we know the level of intellect here. rotflmfao. the united states is third in the world in oil production and yet it is the country that benefits least from that production. i wonder why fools.
When supply cannot equal demand, prices go up.
When supply meets or exceeds demand, prices go down.
Congress could easily remove the restrictions that would allow private enterprise to increase the supply, but no, they want to run it themselves.
Name one industry that was seized by the government (don’t use that euphemism “nationalization,” call it what it truly is) and made things better. Amtrak? Phooey! Airport security? Nope.
Just thank God they didn’t nationalize the airlines, that’s about the only way they could be worse.
Government can barely carry out the functions it was designed to carry out by the Constitution.
This is the real “War for Oil”. The 110th (and possibly 111th) Congress vs. the energy industry boogey men.
I wish the government would attack big media with such fervor. The things they would find would make Enron look like a traffic court hearing.
medicare, social security, postal service, armed forces. public education, fire departments, police department, interstate highways, etc. gotta love socialism
You are proof that so-called “public education” (government-run schools) is a disaster.
attmay: i doubt he finished public education.. i doubt he was up to the challenge.
was forced into going to catholic schools, michigan state wasn’t bad and neither was the u of m.
suffice it to say that i came loudly but alsa not summa.
