Quote :

"WASHINGTON — Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz peered down at the executives from the nation’s biggest oil companies, arrayed before the House Judiciary Committee like five targets in a carnival dunk tank, wearing dark suits and ties instead of swim trunks."

It was a circus, that's for sure.

Quote :

"At another point, Ms. Waters brazenly suggested that perhaps the American oil industry should be nationalized, acknowledging that it was an 'extreme step' but one that might be necessary if outsize profits and exorbitant gasoline prices continued."

Except she couldn't remember the word "nationalize"--and probably doesn't even know what it means. And note well Waters' colleagues laughing at her in the background.

"$5 gas will sound like a low price if we are prohibited from finding new reserves" to drill.


lol

now wait for the dems to come in here and say this isn't a valid recording b/c foxnews aired it. lol

nationalized oil is how the rest of the world controls their oil stocks, primarily.

5/23/2008 12:43:56 PM

and america is the ONLY country in the world with greenbacks worried about rabid bats and their protection from drilling equipment and pipes.

funny how that works isn't it nutsmackr,


i mean, the man in the video in charge basically gave the short term solution in a nutshell.

it really boggles my mind how liberals can sit there defending their strategies about this problem. when these guys are basically giving you the answers

Properly debate what, SkankyMonkey? Do you want to nationalize the U.S. oil industry? Yes or no?

If you say "Yes," you're flat fucking wrong--and a fucking nutball. Any questions?

hooksaw maybe you should make your attempts at trolling a little less obvious. when you make it painfully clear what you're doing its not as enjoyable debating you. from time to time i like to at least pretend that its a reasonable person with whom i'm discussing so that i can validate the time spent on it. i'm not making a request here, merely submitting a suggestion.
