Re: Oil prices got you down?
 

Hi Lee,
There is an answer, kick the bleeding heart liberal, tree huggers
out of government, let our oil companies build new refineries, cross
drill into our lower states national reserves, open up Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge, it has the largest estimated oil reserves in the world,
and we'll have petroleum produces to cheap to meter, again.

You would think that having a Texas oilman in the whitehouse would be a good
start. At least he helped to undo some of the crazy wilderness land that
Clinton stuck is with that prevented us to have access to some old jeep
roads.

Re: Oil prices got you down?
 

You know sixty bucks a barrel, really isn't bad for American,
there's millions of wells already in place that have not been cost
efficient until now that'll come to life feeding Americans, stead of
Arabs.
And if our traitors would stop buying foreign products, nations
like China, Japan and Europe wouldn't need to bid against us at the well
head. They'd have to pay us to take, like before the Arabs nationalized
Chevron, Richfield, Texaco and Shell wells.
