Nationalize The Oil Companies


Maxine Water's wants to socialize the oil companies if gas prices don't come down. Yep. Drilling for American oil off America's coasts and in Alaska is off limits. Socializing the oil companies is not. And yet the American electorate looks to give the Democrats a landslide in November. In the main because Real Republicans™ are not happy with McCain over their pet issues and plan to do what they did in 2006. Sit this one out. Truly we get the government we deserve.

Immigration is hardly a "pet" issue. The future of this country hangs in the balance.

Hillary just wants to take their profits. Maxine wants the whole enchilada.

Then Obama is your man.

Immigration is not the issue. Rule of law and integration are the issues. Regardless, to give energy policy and national security strategy a backseat to those issues and to completely surrender to the left on issues of basic notions of capitalism and freedom is worse than cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's cutting out your brain to satisfy a monomaniacal fixation on one narrow issue that has no hope of being impacted, no matter who gets elected.

If the media, the democrats, and the RINO's like socializing the oil companies, do you think that McCain would go for it?

I'm betting he would.

Gas prices in countries with socialized oil companies are now
in excess of US$ 8.00 per US gallon.
Is that what you want??

It takes a Republican to put in wage and price controls, and it will take one to nationalize the oil companies... just how does Sen. McCain view them? Not with any real favor as far as I can see... and it would be a 'bipartisan' move to 'reach across the aisle' to get them nationalized.

Bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle are Sen. McCain's key outlooks. And I don't much care for them.

aj,

If you don't have the votes, reaching across the aisle is imperative. The question always is: how much will you have to give away to get what you want.
