Americans to Big Oil: We’ve Got Your Number
Thats not a subsidy list, thats a list of tax credits available to ALL busineeses in america, and many of them liberals have asked for.

Why are you singling out big oil?

That seems kinds silly considering the TOTAL "credits" are about the same size FOR THE WHOLE INDUSTRY, that GE alone enjoyed.

Wy would they not claim the same credits that EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS IN AMERICA enjoys?

Actually I pay attention to the FACTS, not the spin.. Why dont you do the same, then I wont have to embarass you guys for repeating the same old bs you are told to repeat.. You can get played for a fool by repeating the lies, I however want the facts, and the facts are that the $4B in "subsidies", arent subsidies at all, but the VERY SAME credits available to EVERY SINGLE CORPORATION in america, and many of them are ones Demcorats asked for to help encourage green energy research.

Right.....................................

Obama is trying to demonize the oil companies, recognizing that his incompetent energy policies have led the nation to $4 gas. Unable to acknowledge that his flawed economic theories are the source of the problem, what does he do?

Do what he does best- blame someone else for his mistakes.

The cause of high energy prices are the factors below-

1. Obama's seven year moratorium on offshore oil drilling
2. The moratorium on using existing wells in the Gulf
3. Closing refineries using twenty year old EPA criteria
4. Failing to allow the construction of new refineries
5. Failing to allow the construction and completion of the Canada-Oklahoma oil pipeline
6. Failure to drill in ANWAR
7. Failure to allow exploration of Colorado and Wyoming oil sands
8. Failure to allow expansion of coal and natural gas known fields in the US
9. Embracing the continued menace of "cap and trade"


Liberals- what the heck are you thinking?????? You KNOW that liberal policies, which are anti-energy, lead to higher energy prices. Yet you COMPLAIN when the liberal policies YOU SUPPORT result in higher energy prices!!!!!

Liberalism is no longer fun when you actually have to experience the consequences of such a flawed political position.

Want lower energy prices? Dump Obama.

That's what Limbaugh told you and you're sticking to it.
