Today on Capitol Hill the Senate had some committee, chaired by liberals, asking "big oil" execs about the high cost of gasoline and the reasons why oil is going higher. Patrick Leahy, liberal from Vermont, asked about the apparant disconnect between supply and demand stating that the free market is not working. The chairman of Shell oil told this liberal whackjob "you're right, there is no free market. You won't let us drill"
This is a paraphrase on my part but man, I was LMAO when I heard about this on Rush today! I keep asking the liberals in my life "how much pain must we endure before you allow us to drill in Alaska, the Gulf, the Dakota's etc. They just look at me like a deer staring into the headlights. I then follow that with "is it really worth it to try and make Bush look bad?" Because, as we all know, the lib's are already trying to pin high oil on Bush by saying when he took office oil was only $20.00 a barrel. But when Bush came up with his energy policy a few years back, all the libs cared about was the minutes from the meetings with oil execs who helped to shape the presidents energy policy. (fishing expedition) From there, nothing happened.
And as long as Liberals keep getting voted into office, nothing will happen. Say hello to $5.00 gasoline! Or maybe even .....$10.00! How much pain will it take?
As a side note, the liberally controlled House past a law saying we can sue OPEC for what, I don't know. But lets waste some more time ok lib's?

Unfortunately it's not the oil, it's the refinery capacity. Big oil doesn't want to make any more because they are expensive, take a long time to build and they want to pursue alternatives. They realize their cash cow will give out some day and they need to find a way to continue stealing money from us. Remember...it's not whether you're on the Right or Left...just follow the MONEY!

"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
-- Rush Limbaugh. October 5, 1995
Zing!

ahem, well being the father of 5 daughters who were lucky enough not to get into drugs and they are lucky enough to have parents that never got into drugs. I doubt if I would ever support the use of drugs for any reason. There are laws against certain drug use, selling, manufacturing, smuggling, and/or importing. If being on the right is bad because most of us support drug laws and love of guns. So be it. Want to see what drugs do to neighborhoods, go down in the barrios, or the hood. How would you feel if your neighbor ran a crack house and everywhere you go people are standing on the streets selling the stuff. NOT in my neighborhood.

There's nothing wrong with supporting drug laws or gun laws. But of you're going to say things like Rush did, and use narcotics like Rush did, you should also be going to jail, like Rush DIDN'T.

The drugs are allowed in so there CAN be a war on drugs. I know pilots that flew the planes full of weapons to Central America and flew em back full of cocaine. Wake up! Without the drugs there would be no way to militarize our country. Its all about control.

The greatest drug threat in the country right now is the Methamphetamine problem. There are houses with yellow police lines wrapped all the way around em all over the southern states.
I know people that have sold everything they own. Ive watched my brother turn into an idiot, then go to prison for his 3rd time. The headline he put in the local newspaper.."Largest Methlab Ever Found"..(locally of course)my brothers lab. My son is 19 now and has never tried it. Even tho he knows dozens of people that use it. My belief is that there are people that have addictive personalities and will find something to overindulge in just because they can. Meth is a homemade drug...our real problem is with it right now. Of course alcohol is always gonna be number 1.

ICE......Hawaii has 8 year olds hooked on the stuff. It seems everyone is on drugs here. We have a policy if there's an accident, i.e. someone accidently bends the hood on the truck with a piece of pipe, someone runs over something with the forklift, etc. they have to go immediately to take a drug test. I HATE IT. This past year I have lost 7 employees because of drug tests. Just don't get it.

I think Rush is ok. Yes, he did do drugs and beat the problem. I myself have made bad choices and recovered from them. My problem was drinking. The night I quit, I comsumed more than enough to kill 2 people and did not even get high. I couldn't quit but with help I quit that night, right there in the bar on my knees. There is nothing you and the LORD can not beat.
I had the same problem with cigs. Four packs a day and loved them. Quit the same way as drinking. I got serious and asked the LORD and the next up to today I have never thought about them again.
I wish we had 10 million like Rush. He is very conservative. We need a good shot of the old conservative movement in the nation.
If I shoot a man defending myself in Charlotte, I might go to jail, but we kill hundreds of thousands of babies a year and just let it go. We are not the moral nation we used to be and getting worse. We have become a nation that to avoid offending someone we just give in to their desires to get their way. The majority does not rule. One person offended can change everything. Myself, I could care less if some people are offended. I don't think I am right on everything and don't have to have my way on everyting, but if the majority wants it then that is what we have. Not because a small group is offended.
Some say our national song is to warlike. TO FECKING BAD, If they don't like it leave. Same with IN GOD WE TRUST, and prayer.

Yes He did beat it good for him. BUT, if you're going to preach "People that do drugs should go to jail" you should practice it as well.
Rush, Walk your talk.

Getting back on topic....
It's not so much that refineries are expensive, but that nobody wants them around. Would you want a big refinery in your backyard?
No city in the US wants a refinery around their town, yet people want more fuel for cheeper.
Oh, and LOL @ the comment from the Oil Execs.

Getting back on highjack track:
C'mon Heart those are the plastic liberals. There are certainly enough fake, whiney, Conservatives too. Rush Baby, Nancy Grace etc. They just hang out on news channels but should be on the same networks as Entertainment Tonight.
Thanks for the bail out although, it's not needed. As far as I know, computer game addiction is not a crime. Unless some tough legislators get tough on it. :^)

Did Obama do time for his drug use, NO. bill clinton did not either but he did not inhale. Rush did what he was told to do and he was not sent to jail. The liberals are crying because Rush has them on the carpet. He speaks the truth and can back up what he says. As for being on with Entertainment tonight. He does good where he is. The liberal stations don't want him on the TV.

Did what he was told to do, but not what he says eveyone else should do. He preaches decency and the right thing to do, but does not practice it. He encourages ilegal political practices and should be put in jail for that too.
In my book He a sensationalist just like the rest of the freaks in Hollywood, a shock jock, and a times, fear mongerer. Thank God, not too many people take him seriously.

Specimen, I know you have not made mistakes in your life. And as for a shock jock, fear mongerer, Most of the democratic congrass is trying to put fear in our lives. Their push for global warming is nothing but fear. They won't talk about the next 10 years because they know we are in a cooling state now. That is all over the news.
They want you to fear everyting. That is how they get alot of their bills passed by putting fear in your life.
Rush makes more sense than Obama. Call me ditto head or what ever you want. We need more like him. He will be first to say he is not perfect but he does know what is going on.
What practices does he encourage that are ilegal. I don't know of any. I have never heard him suggest or encourage a ilegal act to be done. One day, in order to keep your freedom you may have to do what they think is ilegal to keep your freedom. Would you, or would you go with the sheep to the slaughter. Not me. (All the above said with the Love for a brother OMO, No hurt intended just expressing my feelings)

Bifocal, I have made more mistakes in my life than I care to mention. But that's not what this discussion is about.
My point is that if you are going to speak in a hardcore tone about the ills of society and punish the wrong doers to the fullest extent of the law, be prepared to pay the same penalty that you prescribe. Rush did not, he lawyered up, hence the hypocrite brand.
Oh and for ilegal vote tampering, here you go.

There are alot of other sites that are coevering this as well.
And no I'm not going to call you a poopy head. You have a right to express your take on things, just as I do.

Rush Limbaugh is at best, a rabble rousing attention whore or at worst a right wing whacko (yes conservatives have them too). He's also a hypocrite given his holier than thou attitude in the face of his own foibles.
But as long as he wraps his BS in the flag and sounds like he speaks with authority, I guess it's ok.
