So let Venezuala supply cheaper energy to US leftists. Oil and gas are fungible. Cheaper supplies anywhere in the US has beneficial effects everywhere in the US.

Got to wonder if this has anything to do with the "moderates" opposing ANWAR, the "soros" funded liberals had to stop ANWAR to get Chavez's cheap charity oil?

The administration through the state department works to control what nations to trade with.

That's how the government structure is !

A state can not do an "end around" to defeat the federal rules.
I'm not sure if it's the Democrats are behind this, But this action looks, feels, and smells like the way they want the government to run where THEY make international policies.

Can't we give New England to Canada?

I can't see how this is going to work! The people who supply this fuel to the homeowner are private companies who's prices are controlled by the market. How can the state government swing a deal for cheaper fuel when it these companies who purchase this fuel months and months in advance?

Baldacci, chavez, castro.

Welcome to the people's republic of Maine.

This is sick. Leaving no stone unturned Mr. Baldacci does not mean that you play to an evil propagandist for your own advancement. Getting into bed with Chavez will give Baldacci a good case of fleas. But he's already scratching so he won't notice any change.

Citgo Petroleum Corp. is the Houston-based subsidiary of Venezuela´s state-owned oil company and has about 13,500 independently owned U.S. gas stations.

Odd. I've always had an instinctual dislike of Citco, and a preference for Sunoco. Good Instinct!

It appears our cut rate Castro clone, like his idol, Illyich, is buying rope.

several interesting things here - I'm just guessing the average poor person in Venezuela is much, much poorer than the average poor person in Mass or Maine. The actions of Mass. & Maine Dems and Chavez is incredibly self-serving.

All right--Venezuela gives Maine cheap oil.

Now the question is, what does Maine give Venezuela in return?
