What happens when you put 2 Big Oil men in the White House ?

Remember what the Republican voters said? Well, Bush and Cheney know all about oil and they will be able to keep gas prices down, they said. Boy, were they fucking stupid or what??? Stupid.....

2. Republican voters are MORONS.

How do they think having two oilmen is going to keep oil prices DOWN?
Gas prices are at an all time HIGH - does anyone in their RIGHT mind think these prices HURT the Bush/Cheney Crime Families? NO! They and their cronies are making money hand over fist, and we (the free thinkers and the lemmings) are steadily being taken to the cleaners.

3. Two oil men in the White House? You get alternative energy, natch.

They put a high priority on developing solar, wind, and other renewable energy technology.

They push Congress to pass increasingly more efficient mileage regulations for cars AND trucks.

They adjust the tax code to reward energy efficient vehicles, and create incentives for insulation, energy-efficient upgrades of light bulbs, etc.

They throttle back the U.S. military, one of the biggest users of fossil fuel on the planet.

They set up an Energy Task Force to discuss just these things.

Surely they did all that. Didn't they?

5. Now what was it Bush** said in 2000?...

Oh yeah - "What I think the president ought to do is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots. One reason why the price is so high is because the price of crude oil has been driven up. OPEC has gotten its supply act together, and it's driving the price, like it did in the past. And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the prices," - Bush, 2000
