Gee, how they'd get there? Horsecart? Bicycle?

Why do I doubt that...

[Gay State Conservative]

Hey,these maggots can boycott Exxon if they wish,but as long as that twinkle toed little Maoist is in charge in Venezuela I won't be buying another drop of gas from Citgo.

[BenLurkin]

Some people are just plain dumb.

[Tzimisce]

Wish I could take two weeks off. Who's paying these people?

[WestTexasWend]

"Gee, how they'd get there?"

A crude device of some sort...hehehe

Economic studies show that about 20 percent of that can be attributed to the war that has sent oil prices soaring, said Nick Mottern, director of ConsumersforPeace.org.

I thought Katrina sent oil prices soaring?

[mewzilla]

Well, maybe if the bloody Greenies hadn't had conniptions about building some new refineries, we night have less of a supply problem. Sheesh.

[Popman]

I wonder how many of them have mommies or daddies Mobil / Exxon credit card to travel to the protest.

What a bunch of barking moon bats

[Popman]

Two of his top aides met with Sheehan, but Bush never did.

What a lie!

Bush did meet with the barking moon bat lefty nut case.

Just not on her terms.

[Clock King]

Must be nice. Wonder what they would do with no heat in the winter, no cooking gas, no fuel, no plastics, etc? People need to think and stop using their emotions to slide through in life.

[RedMonqey]

It just goes to prove about these anti capitalists and the war:


They're not against War. They're against Oil

[Tench_Coxe]

I'd check for connections of the protesters to Hugo Chavez.

[Don@VB]

You can also bet there's not ONE of those idiots that wants any new drilling for oil in the US particularly ANWAR.

[Beckwith]

and don't forget the nuclear power plants.

[lowbridge]

Protesters plan to drive south to several cities,

Interesting.

marching along part of the way each day

Yeah, I'll bet it'll be a real sacrifice.

It just doesn't make sense to vilify American oil companies for their success--even great success, especially when they compete against (mostly) state-owned foreign companies. Bottom line is that when we go after American companies, we hurt the consumer, the American oil worker, shareholders and everyone who has a pension package or mutual fund that includes oil (which is almost everybody!)

[SquarePeg101]

Not only do these companies contribute huge sums to charity but they also reinvest huge sums into R&D. I think the last stat I read had them investing about $2 million per day! Keep up the good work!

[oldhats]

AND pay more in US taxes than make in US earnings...how crazy is that?!

[oldhats]

AND have poured more money into infrastructure investment in the last 15 years than their CUMULATIVE earnings!
