2. How about trade?
They have oil there but little farmland. We have plenty of farm land and need oil. That is what trade is for. Trade also makes wars less likely. When you have lots of buisness relationships you rarely go to war.

5. So many rebuttals
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 08:27 PM by Juche
Someone who sends that probably doesn't respond to logic, so trying to explain how the democrats are pushing hard for 11 figure a year investments in renewable energy would be mostly meaningless. Obama wants to spend at least $15 billion/yr in alternative energies. Also the GOP is trying to stop the climate bill in the senate that wants to invest heavily in alternative energies.

Anyway, show him this.

6. I assume your e-mail carrier provides you with a delete button.
Rather than say anything back to him, I'd go that route.

But if you must, you can suggest an alternate view in which the Democrat talks about developing renewable energy and talking about a nonpolluting power plants and not being beholden to fossil fuel tyrants like the Sauds. Then watch Prince Bandar sing a different tune.

7. I don't get it
The only reason we're in the gawdawful mess we're in is because of the Saudis and Cheney's and Bush's business and family relationships with them. Bin-Laden and most of the 9/11 hijackers are/were from Saudi Arabia.

So basically, it's hard to come up with a rebuttal to this on the grounds that it's so fucking stupid in the first place.

23. It's the righty talking point Du Jour
The talking point goes like this: If liberal democrats hadn't stood in the way of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and the ANWAR, and we hadn't stood in the way of building refineries, we wouldn't be forced to pay $4 per gallon for gass and burn food to fuel our cars.

Personally, I blame all the drivers of the SUVs getting 10 mpg, but that's just me.

8. Send him this link (if he can read, that is):
Ahmadinejad says market full of oil, prices artificial

http://www.reuters.com/article/gc08/idUSL0380762720080603

Compliments of his thread:

9. The oil companies are the ones that bought all the independent
refineries in the '80's and 90's and shut them down to drive the price of oil up.

19. That's right
They want just barely enough refineries online so that when there are regular problems causing gas price to go up. Even when they do maintenance it results in gas production shortages.

who eliminated policies (Carter) that would end our dependence on foreign oil.

13. exactly!
On another note, I thought the OP was a pretty good right wing cartoon. It is rare that the right has talent. This cartoonist seems to have some talent.

15. Might want to watch that argument.
Oil went from $60 to $130 since the Dems took Congress. That stuff flys both ways.

Just concentrate on general inflation. That is the main cause of the rise in gas prices. The reason is they need to inflate to pay for this War.

17. It tripled, then nearly tripled again.
Energy policy has been and continues to be made behind closed doors in the White House.

20. The Dems didn't "take" congress.
There is small majority in the House, but the Senate is 49-49-2. Plus, the repukes have set a record for filibusters. Connecting the Dems "taking" Congress to higher gas prices is a repuke talking point that makes you come across as a freeper.

21. I'm just saying.
Watch the argument because it can come back to bite you. There are so many better arguments about why we need the neocons out.

22. Oil was $60 a barrel as late as February, 2007
A little over one year later, the price has doubled. I don't think supply and demand explains that, nor does inflation.
