Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Read an interview last week where this cat was talking about oil companies fearing that a democratic whitehouse would be less likely to dole out oil leases. He said that oil companies were trying to get as many leases as possible out of the bush administration.... I wonder what would have to happen to the price of oil to force the hand of public opinion enough to motivate Floridians to want to drill off of their coast...
The rest of you igorant right fucks have already bought this supply shortage theory hook line and sinker....enough so that you will post every other day some nonsense about more drilling and less regulation...
The first paragraph is interesting, the second is funny. I would call it a virtual certainty that getting oil leases with a Dem in the White House will be less likely or even impossible. It would defeat the carefully constructed paradigm shift in energy over 20 years in the making. Forcing energy prices ever higher is a CORE part of the far left agenda.
Only with Super-inflated oil prices do many of alternatives make any financial sense at all. So in order to create the necessity for development of alternatives, liberals have first allowed environmental groups to have standing to sue oil companies trying to drill (unleashing the trial lawyers); limited, at every turn, the places available to drill and imposed draconian regulations on refinery development even if an oil company could get past the phalanx of suits that would be brought against them. All this in an effort to get to where we are right now.
And who will pay? Not me really. My clients pay my fuel costs for the most part. Putting gas in my boat hurts a bit, but not so much I won't do it. Nope, the people supposedly represented by the liberals. The working poor and poor. The lower middle class barely scraping by. All of those people can say a big FUCK YOU to the liberals that represent their interests and just shoved them under the bus without a second thought. They won't though. They'll just get blinded by some nice fucked up health care that they'll be given to soften the blow.
