Fox news alert that the House Democrats are calling to have all US refineries nationalized!!

[nevergore]

Can you believe these socialist marixt scum??? Cuvuto just had a Obama supporter that heavily supported this!

[bamahead]

unbelievable.

[RoseofTexas]

holy CHAVEZ!!!!!

[Pearls Before Swine]

Would it help with the permitting process?

[bamahead]

Yep. Just saw this myself.

They are openly expressing their desire to use the playbook of Hugo...

[DogBarkTree]

Re-education camps are next. No joke.

[tiredoflaundry]

Wow, wouldn’t that be great! It could be just as good as Amtrak! cough..

[nevergore]

They’re calling on Congress to set the price of gas......

[TexasCajun]

There’s probably a warehouse full of old WWII gasoline ration stickers somewhere in DC that they’re eager to put back in action. The A’s will be for politicians, government bureaucrats, liberal billionaires, movie stars, union bosses and trial lawyers. The B’s will be for university humanities professors, community organizers, and environmental activists.

The FU stickers will be for the rest of us.

[N. Theknow]

FREE GAS!

Just like free health care!

[tobyhill]

Earth the Democrats! How would that lower oil prices which is the reason gas prices are as high as they are?

[MrB]

Can you believe these socialist marixt scum???

I can't believe that they're so open about it.

We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market.

[HappyinAZ]

Well THAT just shows their true colors.....GO JOHN McCAIN!

[MrB]

That’s exactly the goal. Control of people’s lives, with those that are “in favor” actually getting to live as they wish, and the rest of us living in squalor.

It’s not about living better, it’s about living better than everyone else. They can’t stand the thought that the average person can live with nearly the same luxuries as the elite can.

[DogBarkTree]

And yet no Republicans will have the balls to oppose them.

[Capt. Tom]

I went to the link and didn’t see anything about nationalizing oil.- tom

[goodnesswins]

Well....like Rush said today....the best way to get drilling is to find a way to get some of the GRAFT into the Democrats hands.......I guess this is THEIR way.....OUTRAGEOUS!

[Kerretarded]

Fox news alert that the House Democrats are calling to have all US refineries nationalized!!

ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?
IF SO, THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!

[Dead Corpse]

Er.... no. If they really try and do this, we need to march on Washington. Pitch forks and torches time...

[henkster]

I didn’t see an article at the link....

Do you have reference to a piece of legislation?

You know, if you think government expenditures are bad now, see what the cost of nationalizing the oil refining industry will do. The 5th Amendment is still out there, the government will have to fairly compensate the refinery owners. That will be one steep price tag.

[TruthConquers]

Lord in Heaven help us...

[Enosh]

“... all US refineries nationalized!!”

Fine, build new ones in Peru.

So much for the US economy, or economics 101 for that matter.

[umgud]

House of Reprehensibles?

[labowski]

LOL *THAT* was funny

[Tarpon]

Democrat Marxists thinking that Comrade Obama can show them the way. Marxism is what it is, Democrat Marxists are what they are. Time we call them what they rightfully are, disciple of Karl Marx ..

Now you know why the Democrat Marxists were visiting with Hugo Chavez. And you thought it was a courtesy call.

[kempo]

I heard the Democrat congressman say it on FOX. This country is going off the deep end.

[The South Texan]

And he says "Way to go , Democrats!"

[goldstategop]

The one thing this proposal doesn't include is expanding the country's refinery assets. When government gets involved in running the oil business, everything becomes political football. It should get out of the way and allow the oil companies to provide America with the energy it needs.

[Bon mots]

Not just that idiot dingbat Maxine Waters who did not even know the word for it?

[rlmorel]

I am listening to “Atlas Shrugged” right now.

Looters.

Plain and simple. Unbelievable.

[Oldexpat]

Is it time for the Cromwell solution?

[PROCON]

I went to the link and didn’t see anything about nationalizing oil.- tom

I didn't see anything either, is nevergore making this up?

[Dead Corpse]

This country is going off the deep end.

"Going"? "Gone" is a better word.

[nevergore]

Unfortunately, this is true as reported for the last 10 minutes of Neil Cavuto’s show today.....

Nationalize all the domestic Oil Refineries and Congress to set the price of gas.....

Neil was incredulous, said he expected this of Chavez, not the US Congress....

Hope you have more straw, but if you do, don’t tell anyone of the Demoncrats will nationalize it.....

[rlmorel]

They are idiots. Complete and total. All of them.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

BOHICA!!!

[rabscuttle385]

The 5th Amendment is still out there, the government will have to fairly compensate the refinery owners.

After Kelo v. New London? Doubtful.

They will justify their theft by saying that it's in the "national interest."

[SF Republican]

Was one congressman saying that line the extent of this or is it like the headline that indicates it is the Democrats plural calling for it? If one person says it then the headline is misleading.

"We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market."

Libertarian ping! To be added or removed freepmail me or post a message here.

NeverGore never makes anything up......

The truth is strange enough.....

Read some of the other posts from other freepers who watched this FOXNEWS segment as well....

[LostInBayport]

They’re calling on Congress to set the price of gas......

Until America starts drilling for its own oil and becomes competitive with OPEC and other drilling nations, Congress can't set squat. Well, they can put any price tag on a gallon of gas, but they'll still be paying over $100/barrel for the oil used to make it. So who will make up the difference when they 'set' prices at $2/gallon that they should be charging $4/gallon for? What do you mean, look in the mirror?

Or maybe they'll ration gasoline. And make new heaps of misery...and sink the economy. That's pretty much all they are good at.

So what's the opinion on today's Democrats...uneducated or addicted to populist speak?

[ronnie raygun]

Is anyone listening out there?
They rats are poised to strike at the heart of America, while we all sleep.

[jveritas]

Stupid communists going wild. Did these idiots forget that we live in America?

[kempo]

I see long lines at the gas stations or rationing coming soon.

[Old Sarge]

I heard the Democrat congressman say it on FOX

I guess Faux News is holding out for that fleet of white Broncos...
