What! the hell are you JAP69 jumping on me for, I agree with you and my response was on the Sarah Palin thing of making her seem like she wasn't smart , she isn't smart and that a fact she open her mouth and that didn't leave any room for doubt. I still stand by that comment. Thank you ACPutz for putting that in perspective.

Don't ya love when someone calls other people stupid and crucifies others for their opinion and they don't even have their facts straight. Sarah Palin did not start the process of giving all Alaskans a check for oil - it was started by Governor Jay Hammond in 1976. Sarah Palin put into place Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share rule in 2007 which gave qualifying state residents a ONE time payment of $1200. She did this by raising the state tax charged to the oil companies from 22.5 cents per gallon to 25 cents per gallon. Which the oil companies then built into their prices - so in essence, anyone in the us who bought gas at that time paid for the $1200 rebate.... [ More ]

We can agree on that point Louise Black. I read multiple news sources and I form my opinion on what I read.

I heard yesterday about the cost to produce oil from algae the president mentioned for his green energy agenda. The cost to produce oil per barrel from algae would be like $300.00 per barrel. I do not think that included refining cost.<br

Unfortunately, all the news media wanted to talk about was her daughter being pregnant and whether her Down's Syndrome child was really hers. And of course, the constant reminders from geniuses like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews and Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live about how stupid she was. That's where the real hate is, the democrat party.

I understand in Dubai and some Saudi nations that are flush with oil presumably that belong to the people the price of gas is $0.50 a gallon. The US has an abundance of oil that belong to the people. But oil leases are let out to oil companies at a fixed rate per barrel. Which allows oil companies to charge the people prices based on world prices. What this country needs is an oil company that produces oil products that belong to the people to begin with for US consumption prices.<br... [ More ]
