STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE


Kerry Actually Spoke Against It
Before He Announced He Was For It


_____________________________________________________

KERRY FOUR YEARS AGO SAID SPR
WOULDN’T AFFECT GAS PRICES

In February 2000, Kerry Said Release Of Oil From Strategic Petroleum Reserve Would Not Be “Relevant.” “Without being specific, Kerry, a key member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, suggested the US could retaliate economically in other trade areas. He also said he does not want a release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. A release ‘is not relevant. It would take months for the oil to get to the market,’ he said.” (Cathy Landry, “US Energy Chief Warns Of Gasoline Crisis,” Platt’s Oilgram News, 2/17/00)

NOW, HE SAYS THAT NOT FILLING SPR WILL LOWER PRICES

In March 2004, Kerry Called For Stop In Filling Strategic Petroleum Reserve To Reduce Prices. “Kerry would pressure oil-producing nations to increase production and temporarily suspend filling the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, according to campaign documents. … ‘The Bush administration has put the SPR fill program on automatic pilot without regard to the short-term effect on the US market,’ the campaign documents said. ‘The program needs better management ... Kerry would temporarily suspend filling SPR until oil prices return to normal levels.’” (Patricia Wilson, “Kerry To Offer Plan To Reduce Record Gasoline Prices,” Reuters, 3/29/04)

Leno was funny last night. He took a shot at Willie, "Clinton had OBL in his sights three times but didn't fire. But, we all know what poor aim he has."

Then he said he didn't take sides and heard both sides of any arguement before making up his mind. That was why he liked Kerry, "Because Kerry takes both sides of an arguement."

I saw the dork on the motorcyle in this picture and burst out laughing! How many people dress like that to ride a motorcyle?

Now that much of our military's reserves have been restored it's time for one of dem Rats to get into position to start selling it off again.

As vice president Al Gore arranged the sale of the Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve to his Occidental Oil company. (Well, technically not his oil company but his family still has tons of stock left over from when they sold his father to Armand Hammer decades ago.)

Umm...crude prices are, predictably, dropping. We're making less per barrel anyway. But that must be Bush and Cheney's fault 'cause all they care about is "big oil" and we little producers can go suck eggs.

"Kerry would pressure oil-producing nations to increase production..."

How? by going to the UN?
Hey, Ketchup-Boy, here's a thought: how about supporting drilling? Think that might affect the supply?
