Greedy Oil Politicians

Posted June 08, 2008 11:00 pm

I am writing to you about Cal Thomas, the rocket scientist that knows nothing about the Alaska pipeline. The taxpayers got screwed because the oil goes to California and there are no refineries there. It's shipped to Japan and you see how much his GOP friends did us in on gas prices. Our great Mr. Bush didn't even know what gasoline costs. This country is being run by corporations and big bankers. The GOP wants a small government that can't help people who lost their homes, but they can save the stock market boys and the insurers.

The lobbyists own our Congress and Senate. The big corporations bank them. Put a Kmart or Wal-Mart behind Mr. Thomas' house and he would be screaming. The rich boys would put an oil pump in Arlington Cemetery if they knew there was a chance for oil. They want to go in national parks but not their scenic neighborhoods. They don't believe in green except the dollar bill. Mr. Bush, our oil man, has tripled the cost of gas. People like Pat Buchanan can't even save the GOP because it stands for Greedy Oil Politicians.
