Pelosi’s off-shore drilling “compromise”

Posted by Moonage on 11 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics, Oil Policy, Oil Supply

Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats.  I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush.
However, it’s got thorns attached.  From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals:

No Gulf [...]

Harry Reid is clueless

Posted by Moonage on 22 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Oil Policy

Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog:
When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed both [...]

Jamie Gorelick’s BAAAACCCKKKK!

In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick.  Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]

Saudi Arabia increasing production

Posted by Moonage on 15 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Oil Policy, Oil Supply

Saudi Arabia has announced it’s increasing production by 200,000 barrels a day.  There are some thoughts I have about the article.

“Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world’s appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run.”  I wonder what gave them that idea?  Could it have been [...]

The Democrat Agenda

Posted by Moonage on 10 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, National Politics, Oil Policy

Two headlines today I think sum up the Democrat financial agenda very adeptly:

Senate Considers Windfall Profits Tax on Big Oil

And

Obama: Give economy $50 billion boost

Now, without necessarily going into the pros and cons, or the nuts and bolts, it’s just typical of teh Democrat bigger government policy.  Rather than fixing the problem, just tax more [...]

Are all liberal talk show peeps stupid?

Now, I don’t believe that to be necessarily true, I just can’t find one I think is terribly smart.  Today’s example is Thom Hartmann.  In 2005, he tried convincing people that Jimmy Carter tried to prevent the Bush Energy Disasters - 28 years ago.  Now, the reason he states this is because Jimmy gave a [...]

That pesky “Bush is beholden to oil” thing

Posted by Moonage on 12 May 2008 | Tagged as: Oil Policy, Oil Supply, Political Correctness

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall.  Obama’s already testing it.  Clinton has worn it out already.  Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem.  When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing:

That’s the [...]

Hillary’s foreign oil strategy?

Posted by Moonage on 06 May 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Oil Policy, Oil Supply

This folks, is nuts:
“We’re going to go right at OPEC,” Clinton said, on a last-minute campaign swing ahead of Tuesday’s Indiana and North Carolina primary clashes against her Democratic rival Barack Obama.
“They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s commonsense plan for skyrocketing gas prices

Posted by Moonage on 23 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, National Politics, Oil Policy, Oil Supply, Political Correctness

On April 24, 2006, Nancy Pelosi made this promise:
With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline [...]

Boycott OPEC gas

Posted by Moonage on 11 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories, Oil Policy, Opinions

This email is making the rounds.  It’s fairly accurate, but not totally:
We need to buy AMERICAN for a change.  Please read this.  Thanks.
 
WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW . READ ON–
Gas rationing in the 80’s worked even though we grumbled about it.  It might even be good for us!
