The dems have this theory that if they repeat something so many times it will be accepted as truth. They are dipping their toes into this nationalizing the oil industry a little bit now to see how it flies but it will rise in crescendo in the future. They hope it will be accepted by the illiterate and clueless who make up much of their party and get it generally accepted. I’ll bet the general public don’t have a clue that supply and demand and the price of a barrel of oil have anything to do with high gas prices. Or even that the president can do nothing to change this. They think the oil companies are crooked and the president is in thei tank for the oil companies. I blame our so called public school education of this illiteracy and cluelessness.

Health care, oil – next the Dems will be talking about socializing food and housing. Housing projects & bread lines for all – yay.

Somehow I think the Gov. could find a way to lose money in the oil industry. If anyone can do that, it’s a communist/socialist/democrat.

Good idea. Nationalize a a whole industry. The government has trouble with collecting tolls, does anyone really think the government, at any level, can run anything?

“message”, Dude? as in footnote? LOL

I’ll bet you meant massage, eh? But I think it’s my fingers in need of the massage on the Bush to Congress thread! Way too much keyboard action going on here…. Got in a short ride this AM… thinking I’m in need of another run with some wind in my face to blow away frustrations! ‘Course, that windshield I mounted has cut down on that too…

Unbelieveable that 37% of Democrats say they are in favor of nationalizing oil companies. Does the same percentage support replacing the Stars and Strips with the Hammer and Sickle?

The oil companies reinvest the majority of the profits they earn directly back into a search for more energy. They also pay approximately 41% of what they earn in taxes.

The surest way to make the energy problem worse is to stick government’s nose further into it.

And I figured that out despite going to a public school and a very, VERY liberal arts university.

The Democrats have been taken over from within by Marxist-Socialists and are running a Chicago Stalinist for President, a puppet figure who will be run from behind the screen by The Central Committee.
As Socialists they know about as much about Economics as a bank-robber knows about Finance – where the money is and how to take it.
God help us all.

That 32% who don’t think nationilizing the oil industry should re-priorize their thinking and their loyalties. Do centrist democrats who don’t seem to understand where their party is going really want to help keep these people in power? Do they really want a socialist state? Our biggest problem is that the centrist democrats seem to see the republican party as the same hidebound party of the 20s and 30s. Neither party is the same as it was then. The republican party IS the centrist party and the word is not getting out. The democrat party is going extreme left toward socialism and communism and are a danger to us all.
