DU BETTER GET GO TO CITGO; BUSHCO BUDDIES JUST BUMPED CRUDE
Do you guys remember those nice union folk that worked around our country? They kept telling us to buy American. While I'm not endorsing undocumented immigration, I've gotta say I love Hispanic people and they are American.

I love the people living in the UAR, as well but I bet a few princes over there are licking their chops tonight, after bumping the price of crude through the roof. I'd rather buy CITGO, which is buying South American.

By the way, nothing pisses of BUSHCO more than the success of CITGO for a variety of reasons... Who can name a few?

one more question can we maybe say that UAR stands for United Arab Republicans on some bumper stickers till November? I'll ask Big John Kerry if one of you guys will check with Russ.

3. Citgo stations

4. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas
Citgo is not cheaper in these states. In some instances they are higher. Oil production and refinery capacity is maxed out and if Citgo would sell cheaper they would run out and that would raise the demand on the others and they would charge even more.

Also Citgo gets their gas from the same refineries the others do.

5. That's incorrect.
According to Snopes, Citgo gets most of its crude from Venezuela (since it is a wholly owned subsidiary). However, it does use the middle east a bit.

Citgo is a good company to support, since Chavez is very much anti-Bush, and he essentially owns Citgo.

11. Yeah, but CITGO is about 1-3 cents higher per gallon versus
some of the others like EXXON. I don't know why, but they are higher where I live. I'll drive a little further to buy from CITGO if I can afford it. We have a few in town.

8. You can get those Bumper stickers cheap at
www.stickerjunkie.com

Go to their website, and design your own. Not much of a selection. Black and white, but you can choose the font and size. You can get 100 for between $25 and $50, depending on the size. Delivered in about 2 weeks.

I just had some made up that said


BE PATRIOTIC!!!
Impeach Bush-Cheney!!

12. that's cool KyuzoGator, thanks
Venezuela schools have gotten much better because Chavez isn't greedy like Bushco. I really liked how he decided to help the poor in the USA with heating oil last winter in several big cities. We need leadership like that here. VOTE FOR KERRY!

14. Buying Citgo only for more than a year now...
Putting our money where our mouth is, so to speak. Their prices are comparable to everyone around here, and luckily, there are stations in convenient locations on frequently traveled routes. So it's easy AND makes me feel better than giving the money to our oil barons.
