If you think oil companies are not the problem you are the one living in some alternative fantasy world.

Thats exactly what I'm saying"

We, the People, need to be concerned about what Obama would do if he is elected. He doesn't own the oil companies, what the fuck can he do, whine about it for us? It is vital that people, escpecially the Obamites stop and think about what Obama is promising to do and the consequences of the actions. and if what he is promising to do is even possibly, like in this case he has absolutely no clout in the big oil arena so he can't do jack shit. It is vital to discuss the blatant lies by Obama. It is vital to talk about Obama promising to add BILLIONS in new taxes on gasoline. like I said before thats totally irrelevant

You are correct that you do not matter. If you do not vote you are less than nothing. What makes you less than nothing is believing the lies you are told, such as your vote will be counted, total lie I would say you are less than nothing, but I would hate to overstate your importance.

Should we go after all the retirement plans that have big oil in them? Where are you going to draw the line and can our nation survive the the mass exodus of companies fleeing such punative actions?

Obama is not saying he wants to cap the dollar amount a company can earn, he wants to make them raise more money from We, the People. Your easily distracted aren't you. The point is if not for the evil of the big oil companies there would be no shortage of oil.

You have no point. You add nothing. I have a bit of respect for George as he at least made an effort to add to the topic. You add nothing, you have no points, and if you do not vote you do not have a voice.

Moore claims that for the first quarter of '08 Exxon paid more taxes than any company in U.S. history has paid for the same period of time. Then he added that during that same quarter Exxon paid more in taxes than over than 50% of Americans paid.

Can't wait for Henry Waxman's upcoming dog and pony show calling the oil executives in. Seems like this twit never misses an opportunity to make an ass of himself.

You know I am correct about the Democrats demagouging oil so you throw in mindless crap to try to cloud the issue. But at least this time you did try to add something even though it was both wrong and silly.
