Lets see what you had to say about the price of oil in the past.. I wonder how many times you've flip flopped on the issue.

The Keystone pipeline will have no effect on our gas prices. In fact, the pipeline will actually increase the price of gas in the Midwest. This is because Canada will then have the means to export globally whereas now most of it is piped only as far as the Midwest creating an abundant supply (supply/demand effect on price) there
So increasing the supply of oil from Canada will increase the price of gas, but increasing the supply of oil from Iran is causing it to fall?

Please share with me whats so special about the Iran oil.

So increasing the supply of oil from off shore isnt going to reduce the price of gas, but only that special oil from Iran can do it..

Again, whats so special about it?

So gas was going to go higher, not that long ago and the only solution was alternative fuel sources..

So if we drilled more, it wouldnt matter if we increased the supply, because they would just export it. Since all oil enters the same world wide supply, please share with me why iran oil entering the supply is dropping the price, but not if the US drilled more and allowed that to enter the supply?

Ahhh, oil went up because of speculation. Got it, so what happened to all the speculators? Did they kill themself or something?

I am having a hard time connecting the dots of how allowing another country to build, an aquifer risking, pipeline from our north border to our southern port for export, would help our national reserves or our national security. In fact, this pipeline will actually increase the price of gas in most US states.

So we shouldnt rely upon another country to supply us with oil.. ooh wait, iran? yeah, now its a good idea..

ooh I could go on, but I think the amount of flip flopping the left will do in order to claim Obama is "successful" while making excuses for his failures, is very obvious

Unless of course we're discussing oil from off shore drilling, canada imports, arctic drilling, governmental property drillings, etc..

its ONLY oil from IRAN thats so special that will cause a drop.. everything else will actually be harmful..

right.. ridiculous what you have been peddling, now all of a sudden you admit you left wing kooks have been wrong, (as we all knew it) FOR YEARS..

LOL! You have enough here for a dissertation.

About the Keystone Pipeline: it will increase the price of gas in the Midwest because that is as far as the Canadian Pipeline presently goes and, as such, there is an increase supply in the Midwest that would drop if Canada can pipe it to be exported.

Actually there is a very logical reason for that.

Gasoline companies buy their gas in large volume, and they operate on very slim profit margins. They get something like $.03 per gallon.

So if they buy it from their supplier at $2.50, they sell it for $2.53 (give or take)..

So if the wholesale price of gas falls, they still have to unload the gas they bought at $2.50, because they cant drop the price any or they begin to lose money..

If the price increases, then the gasoline stations will increase their price because they know during their next refill, they will have higher overhead costs since it now costs more money.

US and Canadian producers are already providing that benefit. Because that oil costs more to extract with OPEC and Iranian oil flooding the market the potential exists for them to go out of business which leaves us with the same gun we have had pointed to our head for decades. Short term you'll save money but you need to look far beyond a year or two.

You are willing to accep a few dollars for the short term over this:


  • The Keystone pipeline will provide jobs directly and indirectly. Some short term, some long term. We can debate about how many but undeniably it will create jobs.
  • It will secure a domestic supply of oil that cannot be interrupted by outside influences.
  • It will help put pressure on OPEC preventing them from monopolizing the market.

You were just absolutely skewered in his post. I mean that was a monumental takedown and this is your reply?

No response to your outright lies? No response to your obvious bias? No reponse to your multipple changes in your stance based on whimsy and fancy?

Nothing? Just more blather?

You should actually take a break from here, but a just a short one. Your hypocrisy and complete and utter lack of self awareness is actually amazing to witness in real time.

No. I have been consistent throughout. I don't even know what point that diarrhea of a post was trying to make.
