Right-Wing House Twists Arms, Thwarts Democracy To Pass Oil Industy Windfall
Right-Wing House Twists Arms, Thwarts Democracy To Pass Oil Industy Windfall
Emotions erupted on the floor of the House of Representatives this afternoon as the right-wing-led Congress held open yet another vote to twist arms and pass a bill that would line the pockets of energy company executives. The House leadership held the five-minute vote open for almost 50 minutes until they could convince three lawmakers — Reps. Wayne Gilcrest (R-MD), C.W. Bill Young (R-FL) and Jim Gerlach (R-PA) — to change their minds. The bill passed 212-210. As the vote concluded, opponents of the bill chanted in unity: “Shame, Shame, Shame!”

The vote was held on the “Gasoline for America’s Security Act of 2005,” a provision sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) to nominally “expedite the construction of new refining capacity.” But the bill is essentially a giveback to the oil industry — Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) called it a “leave-no-oilman-behind bill.”
The antics of right-wingers on the House floor today mirrored their previous strong-arm tactics in passing CAFTA and prescription drug legislation — “ bills that, like today’s, favored large corporations. In July 2005, the House passed CAFTA with a slim two-vote margin after holding the vote open for an hour and 45 minutes. In November 2003, in the dead of night, the House leadership passed the Medicare prescription drug vote by five votes after holding the vote open for three hours.
The Center for American Progress released a report today detailing the profiteering of oil executives while American families struggle with higher gas prices.

During the CAFTA vote, they twisted one “poor” Repub’s arm so hard that he cried as he voted.
October 7th, 2005 at 4:31 pmHow can these Republicans sleep at night? Do they have a conscious giving a free ride to the oil companies.

The superstitious regard for environmental science that is holds Congress back from passing out manufacturing incentives is going to bite us in the ass soon.
October 7th, 2005 at 4:37 pmHow much profit would be okay for the oil companies? I mean, I’m opposed to the arm twisting, tax giveaways, givebacks, etc., but what’s wrong with the oil companies making money selling oil (I’m assuming they do it legally, if not, then yes let’s complain about profits)?

October 7th, 2005 at 4:39 pmI just found out today that my electric company will be raising rates 18% after a 9% increase just last year.Before these increases it had been 15 years since the last increase.Too bad my salary never jumps like that.
October 7th, 2005 at 4:41 pmAt this point I consider these energy theives to be taking the food from my children’s mouths.
These increases are on top of their record profits. Shame on YOU F’ers.
This, too, will come back to haunt the Republicans. I can hardy wait.
October 7th, 2005 at 4:41 pmDone it again
I sincerely doubt the news stories will include all this, but if you were watching C-SPAN at all just now you witnessed a fine bit of political theatre of the absurd. The vote came up on the Floor this afternoon…
October 7th, 2005 at 4:44 pmFrom the article “(this bill)…limits ’boutique fuels’” , “…and it promotes conservation”
2 questions:
a)What is a ’boutique fuel’?
b)I’m so pissed off right now I can’t see straight, so maybe I’m missing something but how does increasing capacity (and therefore supply, which means lower prices) “promote conservation”?
October 7th, 2005 at 4:54 pm#4 I don’t have a problem with the oil companies making a profit, but I do have a problem with the government giving them land and reducing regulations against them. They don’t do this for other buisnesses that are not to their benefit.
It should be the oil companies responsibility to build new plants and obtain the land, not the federal government. If a buisness is not able to keep up with the demand then the government should spend that money looking into something that will be of better use to the American people.

October 7th, 2005 at 5:00 pmI am sure the DLC could find something nice to say about these shameless elected crooks.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:00 pmI don’t have a problem with companies being in business to make a profit. I DO object to windfall profits on the backs of those who can least afford it. None of us gets a rise in income anywhere near the increases in all energy costs this year. Energy costs incurred by business gets passed along to the rest of us. The higher up in the chain, the greater the profits; conversely the lower end (the consumer) pays the highest rates, subsidizing all those above him in their profit-making.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:02 pmCNN just reported on this in the last hour and it was described as simply and Democrats fighting for the environment against the need for refineries.
This was a give-away to the oil companies to add to their windfall profits, but it wasn’t explained like that by Wolfie and his friend.
To their credit, the Democrats staged a spontaneous demonstration, after they lost 212-210 in a drawn-out vote (Rethugs were twisting arms a la CAFTA).
Of course profit is ok. I mean, if CEO’s and others routinely make 300 to 500 times the pay of average workers, not a problem. Too bad if retirees, who have worked their entire lives and now have finally earned an opportunity to retire, have to choose between eating and heating this winter.
I mean, it’s no big deal that the middle class have been hollowed out by the income redistribution resulting from the changes in the tax codes, begun in 1970, when the burden of taxation was shifted from the ruling class, onto the backs of the working class.
That’s good ole’ capitalism at work, eh UGH!

October 7th, 2005 at 5:06 pm#15: I would agree with most of that, but all I’m objecting to is the idea that Exxon making a huge profit is somehow wrong or evidence of wrongdoing.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:08 pm#4 – They have so much profit (Exxon Mobil profited $10 BILLION last quarter) that they can afford to invest in more refineries on their own. Why should my (our) tax dollars be spent to “encourage” them? #10 has the correct idea, lets look for something else. Its a fact that burning fossil fuel is harmful to the environment and bad for our health, and its generally agreed that fossil fuel is a limited resource, so why not go all out to find an alternative? Call your representatives and tell them you object and want alternatives. Bushco is stealing our money!!!!!

Boutique fuels are fuel blends mandated by states as part of their State Air Quality Plans designed to satisfy NAAQS (Clean air regulations).
The Congressional bill would limit the national total to six blends. Your state would have pick the one that best does the job out of these six.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:09 pmYou won’t see prices drop signifigantly, if at all. More likely they will continue to rise. The ‘incentives’ are nice, but they still have to build those refineries, staff them, get them running, buy MORE FOREIGN OIL to refine in them (which means international oil will see an increase in demand, and thus an increase in barrel price), as well as buy and lay those new pipelines, plough up some wildlife (”what endangered species? We believe in intelligent design, not your fake evolutionary theories, so no evolution = no endangered species. They’re just animals, anyway. We don’t like animals”). Well, SOMEONE has to pay for all that, and it certainly won’t be the oil companies or their oil-soaked politician whores. It will be us – The People. How about any of the numerous alternate fuel sources (Henry Ford himself was a proponent for hemp fuel, which burns in a regular engine, is very inexpensive, and quite efficient. THIS is the reason oil lobbyists worked incredibly hard to get hemp banned as illegal (and for the dolts who may be tuning in, marijuanna is only a strain of hemp, and not even the one best for this fuel). And oil is not a luxury, it is a necessity. How many people can get to work, or live a semblance of their life, without using oil products (esp. gasoline)? If it is to remain it should be FIRMLY regulated as a utility, which is what it basically is. Cut off all tobbacco sales and trading and use for a month and all you will have is some pissy niccotine addicts. Cut off all sale trade or use of gas in the country and our entire society will collapse. We must begin using (no need to ‘find’, many solutions have already been found) alternate fuel/energy.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:10 pmAs for profit, a healthy return on equity is the goal of most companies. The energy companies are investing more in making money than looking for oil.

October 7th, 2005 at 5:11 pmOK, instead of bitching more, let me propose this: Encourage people to use public transportation or car pool. Many people don’t like to do this or come up with some lame excuse why they can’t, so encourage them to try it, just try it. Even if it’s one day a week, if enough people do it, oil companies will feel it. This is the power we have as consumers.

October 7th, 2005 at 5:21 pmThis is a Kleptocracy.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:22 pmWhy should companies that make record profits be
subsidized?
Why should billionaires have their ballparks
subsidized?
If you pay the stupid CEOs too much to make
a profit then go out of business you morons.
Someone else (The Chinese?) will do it better.
Sometimes the very poor may need a leg up due
to circumstances.
If ExxonMobil needs a leg up (they don’t!) they
should go out of business.
Maybe they are required to pay so much into
DeLay’s pay-to-play scam that they are going
out of business?
buckfush, I didn’t see your post before I posted my bright idea in #28. I’ve been boycotting some of them already, but I will stop buying anything from any of the companies on the list immediately.

The problem is recent Congresses have given freebie incentives to oil companies, and industries in general. For example, as recently as July Congress passed another tax break and acknowledge the law wouldn’t do little to lower gas prices.
Energy Bill Won’t Cut Gas Prices
It’s not so much a question of how much money is it okay for oil companies to make. It’s more a question of, how much money should any industry make in a free market? Whenever Congress fiddles with the market it, either through tax incentives or bailing out the airline industry, they impede market forces.
We can debate back and forth how Congress should spend our money and where, but this gets around the conservative/libertarian thought about the economy. Republicans do this because they don’t want to/can’t face the electorate music when it comes to repealing a double tax for companies, changing tax laws to a flat tax system for citizens, private accounts for Social Security, etc.
My issue with this get around is that a Republican Congress inevitably gets around state voters by siphoning taxes away from domestic programs, whether you’re talking Medicaid or FEMA. The public remains unaware of the subtle erosion of government agencies until it’s too late.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:23 pmSo “boutique fuel” is a way they spin clean-air improvements to appear elitist and unAmerican…
October 7th, 2005 at 5:23 pmHumm. Let’s try this. In our past history when the energy corportions wanted to raise their profits, there was suddenly an energy shortage.
Prices were raised, the little guy was paying through the nose and in order to save him, the govenment created tax breaks so that the energy companies could explore for more natural gas and oil, or create more dams and plants using atomic power.
And if that weren’t enough, some funds were outright distributed to these companies by our Congress to offset the costs to the energy companies for their “expenses” in the above endevors.
What we’re experiencing now is nothing new, it’s just that older Americans are trained to forget and the younger ones don’t know any better.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:25 pm#34 Yes, it is a derisive way to belittle a state’s right to regulate the products sold in their communities.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:26 pmOne of the main reasons gas prices are so high these days, is the lack of refining capacity in the US. Its virtually impossible to set up a refinery these days, b/c of NIMBY concerns.
The only way we are going to get tax prices down is to set up new refineries. Abandoned military bases are perfect.
I dont really see it as an oil co profit issue – they could import gasoline and probably charge more as it is.
Granted its a sneaky way to get the legislation approved – however, the country needs to build new refineries.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:26 pm#23, thanks for the explanation. I suppose a little standardization couldn’t hurt, as long as it isn’t a ploy to limit competition or rid renewable resource based additives such as ethenol.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:27 pmI may not have made sense with my last post. I’m out the door…
October 7th, 2005 at 5:27 pmDear Anonymous;
I live in Louisiana. There is one refinery near here that was abandoned. There were many that were abandoned for economic (i.e. profit) reasons or because they were obselete.
So, setting up new refiners is not the only way to get prices down. Existing refineries have also been expanded, which also helps make them more efficient (profitable).
Importing gasoline and other refined products just moves the pollution overseas. It als moves the jobs and value added aspect of the industry overseas.

how did mike fitzpatrick bucks 8
October 7th, 2005 at 5:45 pmThe most important part about this is that in the ’90s the oil companies shut down 50 oil refineries, so they could artificailly raise the price of gas. Thos refineries are still standing and are in working order.
This bill has nothing to do with building more refineries. It is only about lowering EPA standards for oil companies AND COAL BURNING POWER PLANTS.
What exactly do coal burning power plants have to do with refining oil?

Its all the little stuff he saids,that we over look……
October 7th, 2005 at 5:56 pmOh, come on. Whatever you think of the bill, the majority party holding votes open to twist arms has a long House tradition from both parties and is completely consistent with House rules, which provide that such things exist completely under the discretion of the Speaker. The Constitution clearly gives the House the authority to give such discretion to the Speaker under Clause 2 of Section 5 of Article I of the U.S. Constitution (”Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings…”). Hardball politics it may be, but “thwarting democracy” it isn’t.
October 7th, 2005 at 5:58 pm37:
I’ve lived in and around the SF Bay area all my life, and one thing is a certainty- the refineries in Richmond (a predominantly poor, black area- go figure) have a propensity for leaking toxic emissions, if not just plain blowing up. Why would anyone in there right mind live anywhere near one, if they could afford not to?
October 7th, 2005 at 6:01 pmWell, is anyone really surprised? The Republican Party is an extension of Big Oil.
Big Oil is not investing in capital-intensive core business assets…they know we are in a post peak oil economy. They’ll stand pat with what they have and follow the supply/demand curve right up to the last barrel of sweet light crude. I’m sure their profits are being divested out of energy and into other profit making instruments. Certainly, lots of that investment is goinng to places where capital growth is assured…and that isn’t in our economy.

October 7th, 2005 at 7:10 pmThis is an outrage! Our plan was to keep Big Oil from building any new refineries so that they couldn’t produce enough gas to go around and therefore prices would go up and then nobody would be able to pollute by using fossil fuels because they wouldn’t be able to afford it! Only the Rich would be able to afford fossil fuels, and then that would give us even MORE reason to hate them! These Republicans have ruined our plans entirely!!!

October 7th, 2005 at 7:17 pmOn Thursday, October 6, 2005 the Rules Committee granted a structured rule. The rule provides one hour of debate in the House equally divided and controlled by the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The rule waives all points of order against consideration of the bill. It provides that the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Energy and Commerce now printed in the bill, modified by the amendment printed in part A of the Rules Committee report accompanying the resolution, shall be considered as adopted and shall be considered as read. The rule waives all points of order against the bill as amended. It makes in order the amendment printed in part B of the Rules Committee report accompanying the resolution, if offered by Representative Stupak of Michigan or his designee, which shall be considered as read and which shall be debatable for 40 minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent. It waives all points of order against the amendment printed in part B of the report. Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions.

Try not to drive your car; don’t watch T.V.; don’t use the internet. Stay at home. Read a book. Play with your kids. Engage in a hobby.
Plan a vacation day at work. Call in sick. Use your best judgment on how to take this day off.

A Hybrid is not an electric car. A Hybrid uses both gas and electric. The electricity is generated when the car goes downhill or is coming to a stop. My friend had a Toyota Preious, it got great gas milage.
An electric car needs to be plugged in or left out in the sun to charge up. A Hybrid doesn’t need to be plugged in or left out in the sun.

October 7th, 2005 at 8:16 pmA friend of mine reminded me that in the 70’s when the OPEC jerks had the oil embargo against us, we lowered the speedlimits on the freeways nationwide to 55 mph. It saved millions of barrels of gas over the years until we got selfish and in a hurry again.
Why can’t we do that again? Because none of us want to be inconvenienced? Or because the administration does NOT WANT to really do anything that might cut into the gas companies outrageous profits?
Where is the outrage from the right as well as the left? Liberal or conservative, we are ALL being ripped off!

October 7th, 2005 at 9:06 pmWrongOfYou,
You forget that those ‘rich people’ didn’t live there when those refineries were built. I did some research and the marina development all occurred AFTER the refineries were built – before then the entire area was blue collar and poor…
October 7th, 2005 at 9:25 pm#71 – We have clean diesel engines in the USA, they are manufactured in Europe, but sold here.
October 7th, 2005 at 9:31 pm#73 – Hybrid engines are here, Toyota, Honda and (gasp)Ford are offering them. The Ford (Escape) is still a pig as the electric boost is used to boost torque instead of mileage as its primary goal. The hybrids work by conserving energy used for slowing down, going downhill and braking. Basic savings are 23% in town and 40% on the highway. Using the full system can add another 6%. his excludes the Ford which averages about 19% savings(Highway plus In-Town) over its conventional version (Unless you drive the EPA test track).
Our right to bear arms was meant for times just like this!
Should the Republicans steal another Presidential election… Revolution may erupt!!!
Oh wait… most Libs are pacifists. It’s the redneck goat ropers who play army in the backwoods… damn!
October 7th, 2005 at 9:58 pmActually last year most refineries were running at 75% capacity so the companies (rightfully so) shut some down to balance out the market. So why can’t they just re-open them?
October 7th, 2005 at 10:07 pmTHe Oil companies have been controlling their market and their prices since long ago during the time of the texas wildcatters when a texas judge made all the wildcatters agree to charge the same price. Anyone ever wonder how all those competing service stations are always within .10 of each other in price. Christ! Americans claim they BELIEVE in free markets, and every day they face the greatest controlled economy going.
The oil companies agree that they will all charge the same, and they will all run their refineries into the ground and keep them below capacity. Now they will get even more of our tax dollars
ALl those supposed conservatives who support this are a bunch of freakin morons. If you want to see communism at work, this ia a prim example of the worst that communism has to offer. The few at the top controlling prices, input, output, wages.
And then the faux conservatives jump in their SUVS and speed down the road driving to the tune of their communist masters.

Jim,
You are used to the old school hippy commie pacifist Democrat. I am here to tell you that Bush (just as in Iraq) has brought forth a new type of Democrat. I suppose you could call me a NeoLib. I bear arms. I was in the military and I have martial arts training. I am ready for a revolution my friend.
Don’t be so sure that only the red necks are armmed at this point. You just might be surprised.

Go ahead, give the oil companies breaks to get new refineries on line, BUT, they have to promise to lower gas prices, which is supposed to be the reason for this bill.
If there is no…we giv you this, you give us that, then it is just a giveaway that will not benefit regular people AT ALL.
October 7th, 2005 at 10:40 pm#67 and Susan. Right on. I’ve posted about Citgo several times. I get called a ‘pinko commy bastard’ or words to that effect. Citgo is a wholly owned sub of PDVSA, the Venezuelan oil company which is a nationalized company of Venezuela, meaning the profits go to the government of Venezuela. You can make up your own minds about Chavez, but you can at least see some of the money finding its way into readin, health and local farming programs for the poor of that country. Buying gas at Exxon or Chevron goes to the shareholders who apparently can already afford health care, can read and can buy food from the supermarket and therfore probably don’t need your help.
Check this site out to find your nearest Citgo and make sure you tell the manager why you are there.
Here’s your Citgo locator: http://www.citgo.com/CITGOLocator/StoreLocator.jsp

October 7th, 2005 at 10:48 pm#91, Karen – if you believe that a corporation is a ‘person’ then they should be subject to the same laws as a person. If not, then they should not have the same rights as a person, nor a disproportionate say in our affairs. Over to you Mr Hartmann:

October 7th, 2005 at 10:54 pmThere’s one way to try to even out the rip-off we can’t control. I found it years ago when my Republican broker talked me into it. Buy stock in the wretched oil companies. You can buy Exxon directly from them, no broker needed. It’s probably the same with some others. You’ll get the dividends and you’ll probably get some nice capital gains as I have. I had an inheritance and I diversified as we’re supposed to. Oil has been up and down, but over time, it’s been my best investment. Yes, I’m a liberal Democrat but we have to survive, don’t we?
October 7th, 2005 at 10:55 pm#91
karen,
The only problem is that it has already been stated that it will take ten years to build these new oil refineries. Bush will be long gone come ten years. Nobody will be held acountable in ten years.
And more importantly, 50 oil refineries were shut donw in the ’90s to artificially inflate the price of gasoline. These refineries are still in perfect working order, they just need to be turned back on.
This bill wasn’t about building oil refineries, it was about lowering the EPA standards for refineries.
If it wasn’t, tell me why COAL BURING POWER PLANTS were even in this bill. They don’t refine oil, they make power by buring coal. No oil involved, except to lube the machinery.
October 7th, 2005 at 10:57 pmThe corporate media machine at work again. Read this; http://mediamatters.org/items/200510070001. It’s short and to the point.
October 7th, 2005 at 11:00 pmNot to mention that we have reached peak oil, so refineries and oil economy are already dinosaurs –
this is just part of the general robbing of the treasury to destroy the US that the Bush gang has been engaged in for the past ten years, and Clinton is one of them now. They must have inducted him into Skull and Bones while he was visiting with Bush Daddy on his yacht this summer.

October 7th, 2005 at 11:10 pmThe statement that we are at “peak oil” is nothing but bullshit to make people think it is okay to pay more money for gas. OPEC has already stated, numerous times, that they can send us more oil, we just don’t have the refining capability.
That is because the oil companies shut down 50 oil refineries in the ’90s to artificaially drive up the cost of gas.

This question is like asking someone why they take drugs that destroy their lives – because they’re addicted and incapable of recognizing their addiction is harmful to them and society. In this case their addiction is to ‘no taxes’ and ‘deregulation’ and in their delusion that someone republicans are ‘better’ at handling the economy. It doesn’t matter that these are in fact psychotic delusions and that poverty drops and the economy improves under democrats and the reverse happens under republicans. Their irrational addictions to things that actually undermine the economy and their own well being as well as societies overwhelms them to the point of irrationality. It’s a classic ‘break’ from reality that often happens with people of addictive personalities… It’s no accident that bush is both a republican and an alcholic/druggie…
October 8th, 2005 at 12:09 amI don’t think that W has gone back on drugs yet. Booze? – it’s either that or advanced Alzheimers.
October 8th, 2005 at 12:24 amCan we spell ENRON? Haven’t we seen this all before? They have been closing refineries in order to cause a shortage so they could raise prices, now they want the taxpayers to bribe them to put refineries back on line. Meanwhile the Bushies waste jet fuel flying around setting up photo-ops. I’d start looking for a good mule, but they’ll probably tax hay next.

October 8th, 2005 at 1:21 amI wish I was a Republican, because then it would be easier for me to see how much my Congressmen and women really care about me, the average citizen, and my needs.
But since I’m not a Republican, I don’t see it. All I see is a crumbling empire, getting destroyed at the hands of a small group of corrupt extremists, whose have zero interest or concern or compassion for anyone but themselves and their own bank accounts.
What a shallow, meaningless, vapid existence these Republicans have. What’s that old saying, you can’t take it with you?
We now have two Americas: an America of people who care about others and the environment, and an America of people who care only about themselves.
I’m glad I belong to the former, and I feel nothing but pity for the latter.

October 8th, 2005 at 4:03 amWhen is the old Democratic party going to stand up. Going to an event and saying Bush and Rove are evil, getting a bunch of applause and people shaking their heads doesn’t get people to the polls. Rock the vote? You might as well call it a Free Concert. I remember a day when our party actually ment something. We have to let go of the radical left and move forward with good ideas, powerful plans and a conviction that is true. I’m sick and tired of hearing those on our side complain about the oil companies, while everyone is complaining about high gas prices. We need to move towards alternative fuels but lets get real people. This “oil thing” isn’t going away over night. It’s going to be a long hall and only when we start running out of oil is anybody going to take a serious look at other alternatives. At the end of a football game it doesn’t matter how many flags are thrown, if the team wins and the refs agree they won, GAME OVER. Thats what is happening today. We can all rally around the “coruption” campaign Nancy is trying to promote but the end result for us in 2008 is going to be GAME OVER if we don’t act like the team who throws some elbows to win the game. NOW GET YOUR GEAR ON AND GET IN THE GAME.

I’m getting sick of this. I’m even more sick of standing by watching it while I can’t get a 10 cent/hour increase in my rate (I’m an IT contractor). The blue collar workers, or most of them, seem content to let the thieves run things. The white collar workers, too; they’re probably even more brainwashed. So let’s do something.
Can we organize a one-day walk-out at our jobs? It should be done using the Internet, because people will be too timid to approach people at work. Anyone who works for a corporation, and that’s a huge majority, can stand up and walk out at 10:00 AM on a certain day. The corporations won’t give a shit, of course, but the sheep in the House might, maybe even a few media outlets.
I’m going to try to light a fire via Air America, Moveon.org, Think Progress……

October 8th, 2005 at 8:50 amSmedley — I didn’t see your post until just now. Great!
October 8th, 2005 at 8:52 amJust more of Bushlandia giving away the house to the big companies.
I have noticed over the past few years that many of the companies who are in trouble, supposedly, and cant pay their penioners their due, gave their officers huge bonuses and umbrella packages.
In other words, they cant keep their promises to the working man, but sure can get the wheelbarrow to the officers of the company.
October 8th, 2005 at 9:19 amGood Morning all, the oil feeding frenze on the senate floor show’s us how much we don’t have control, however, I do think it is time for shut down’s. Have seen two dates mentioned on these threads. One date was Nov.2, the other mentioned Nov. 10. Let’s pick one, join together and run with it. No buying, no work if you can and a shut down sick day. It worked for some smaller things back in the 60’s and 70’s, know it will work now. Another thing that we could do to cut their profits is cut our travels. Don’t give a damn what Bush said while he run’s all over the country, remember when we did this in the 70’s and they lied to us, there wasn’t enough gas, we all did this and then we gave them a surplus, so much so in our area they had no place to put the excess. Know for many this is not possible, job loss or living in remote areas but for those that can it would make a big impact. Some one please contact our diffrent groups to get the word out. Decide on a date and all of us join in…..Blessings

October 8th, 2005 at 12:47 pmIs there a second event on 11/10/05? I know there is one on 11/2/05. I hope you don’t show up a week late!
Please investigate the date you have noted.
Here we go again. Earlier I wrote we should get in the game and all i’m hearing is that some of you want to walk out of your job on a certain date. This isn’t the 70’s anymore. I remember Bill Gates saying the he couldn’t imagine anybody needing more then 64K but look at us now. If I walk out of my job it’s possible my boss will fire me. I work for a small tech firm, ok three people, and this would only hurt myself, family and friends who are my co-workers. Here is another example of people compaining and not getting in the game, you can even decide which date to walk out… We all need oil regardless of what we do no the short term. I saw a bus in the bay area (San Francisco) that traveled across the United States to protest the oil companies & the war. Does anybody see the irony in that? This bus probably got 9 miles to the gallon. Not only did he put money in the pockets of those we are complaining about but polluted all the way across the US in an old school bus. I bet when he filled up he complained about gas prices. Where is his Hybrid? We have to do much better then this people.

October 8th, 2005 at 1:20 pmMASSACHUSETS LIBERAL #116
There is a national work boycott and protest being planned:
“Wednesday 11-2-05: A massive day of repudiation of the Bush Regime, launching a movement to drive Bush himself from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed.”
http://www.worldcantwait.org
“Think about this: When four young people sat in at a lunch counter in the South, they didn’t know exactly what forms of struggle the Civil Rights movement would develop or how many and who would join them. When women and doctors developed networks to provide abortions and held speak-outs to make it legal, they didn’t know exactly what court ruling or piece of legislation would codify this right.
They did these things because living one more day without resistance was intolerable. And, by doing what was right and not compromising, they set new terms for society, changed what was deemed possible and realistic and were able to galvanize and activate many thousands more in ways that couldn’t have been predicted.
Today we are facing an unprecedented situation. The challenge is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the window of opportunity is being hammered shut rapidly. There is a moment to seize right now while public support for Bush is at its lowest and millions are seething with anger and aching with desire to affect things. The world cannot wait. The Bush regime must be driven from power. But, we must leave the comfortable ruts of familiar territory and politics-as-usual if we are to stand a chance.
Think of how many people were inspired by the uncompromising and courageous stand of Cindy Sheehan. We are in a moment when one person stepping boldly forward, pointing out that the emperor not only has no clothes, but is a lying, callous brute, can change the whole national discourse. Imagine what can happen when hundreds of thousands, on one day, refuse to bite their tongues or stay at home.
November 2nd, 2005 will be a launch of a new kind of movement, a society-wide resistance. It holds the potential to break open new space and possibilities for the struggle going forward.
November 2nd, 2005 must be a day when history starts to turn.
November 2nd will be a day when those who hate and fear the future Bush is creating will pour into the streets together, out from beneath the suffocating “mandate†Bush claimed last November 2nd, out of the “acceptable†political framework that forces people to speak in “reasoned†tones about compromise positions, out of the dynamic of fighting Bush’s outrages one at a time constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught, out of the logic of waiting…and waiting…and waiting for someone somewhere else to say what must be said and do what must be done, while each day people grow accustomed to unspeakable crimes.
On November 2nd, in society-wide outpourings – in large cities and small towns, emptying high schools and colleges and lining the highways in rural areas, buzzing through the media and provoking frank debates among families, friends and coworkers – we will say: NO MORE! WE REFUSE TO BE RULED IN THIS WAY! BUSH DOES NOT REPRESENT US AND WE WILL DRIVE HIM OUT! THE WORLD CAN’T WAIT!
Everyone will be clear – this outpouring is just the beginning of a new kind of movement which takes the offensive in society and really wages a pitched political battle for the whole direction of the future. The gatherings will bring together the impatience of the youth who walk out of school, with the experience of those from the 60’s generation, with the stature and voices of prominent artists and intellectuals, together with the anger and perspective of those who have been hardest hit by the Bush program of repression and heightened poverty and racism. The organizers will direct participants to trade phone numbers and emails with other protesters, to start up discussion groups and book-clubs about fascism and resistance movements, building communities of resistance going forward.
By bringing together hundreds of thousands nationwide in outpourings of many sizes which become the lead story in small towns and large cities on the news that night, this day will give heart and inspiration to millions of others who are looking for a way to stop this direction and will very quickly draw them into an organized resistance. It will put a challenge to many who still support Bush, causing them to question and, for some, begin to break with a program that is not in their interests. It will also give notice to the regime and its die-hard supporters that they will not have a free-hand in reshaping the world, leaving them further exposed in the eyes of millions.
This day alone will not stop the regime, but it will introduce a whole new dynamicand will enable millions to make a big leap towards a movement that can stop it. This day will embolden individuals and groups everywhere to speak up, to defend others who come under attack, to challenge the Bushian mentality and program everywhere it pops up – from the local school boards pushing “intelligent design†and Abstinence Only, to the pulpits promoting hurtful intolerance of gays and non-Christians, to the unjust war and continuing torture, and beyond.
November 2nd is a day for which thousands must immediately throw in all their energies and time, creativity and critical thought, connections, skills and finances to pull off on a scale that accomplishes this important beginning.
From there, further organization and planning will be required, but all of it will be in a new context and with new strength. As organizers of the World Can’t Wait – Drive Out the Bush Regime, we pledge to take responsibility for leading and broadening the core of those leading this all the way through. We will hold a national summit to chart our next steps, bringing to bear all the strength and momentum and lessons we have gathered and surge ahead on a higher level which impacts the terrain again nationally and internationally.
Years from now, when children want to know the character of their parents — as they lived in a country that was normalizing torture, moving to condemn half the population to enforced motherhood or back-alley dangers, attacking science and critical thought, waging wars of preemption based on outrageous lies, snatching people off the street without lawyers or charges, and no major office-holder was making a stink – they will ask, “Were you in the streets that day, on November 2nd, 2005?â€

October 8th, 2005 at 5:24 pmWhat Democracy?
There are justifiable outcries that the new energy bill undermines democracy by ignoring the will of the people. The flaw in this criticism is that it assumes there was democracy in America in the first place.
Delaying a vote until the republicans were assured of a victory on an energy bill that clearly serves the interests of the oil industry is a symptom of a much deeper problem. The American government rarely serves the interests of the people in a deeply flawed democratic system the structure of which opens the door to business-friendly governments.
The U.S. is one of only three domocracies in the world that does not use proportional representationm to elect people to Congress. The result is a very unrepresentative Congress where only 12% of its members are women. The American electoral system imposes huge barriers to any third party seeking to elect people to Congress.
Although there appear to be two parties vying for votes at election time, both parties are owned lock, stock and barrel by big business and lobbyists. They drive trucks through the loopholes in the election laws to fund often both parties to hedge their bets.
Another problem is that the members of Congress serve the interests of lobbyists who represent large corporations rather that the people who elected them. In a democracy everyone should have equal political power and input into decision-making. This isn’t a fantasy of some pie-in-the-sky dreamer but a realistic idea for which there are many methods of implementation. Anything is better than the current system where big corporations almost write government policy while ordinary citizens suffer the consequences. All lobbying should be banned. It is nothing more than influence-pedalling despite the feigned cries of big business that the government needs their expertise. The expertise of all stakeholders and all interested groups should have equal input into decision-making not just those with an abundance of money.
The third pillar of the principle of separation of powers, the Supreme Court, is corrupted by the election process which deprives the court of its independence.
So scream foul when Congress delays bills to gain an advantage but put it in the larger context rather than create the impression that this case is only one of a number of isolated examples.

All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer’s medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance – now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union.
If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn’t think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers’ Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans.
The house didn’t have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn’t mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: “We don’t need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I’m a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.”

FYI – That pitiful blog of yours is the most desperate attempt at false bravado and unabashed bullshit I have seen… since Bush’s last press conference.
October 9th, 2005 at 11:45 amAnd your attempt at spin is… almost as ridiculously poor and incompetent as this one that is about to “hang” (har har) Guckert.

And you won’t get any hits at your pitiful blog. You are like the guy who stands on the street corner with a sign reading: “Repent! The end is nigh!” Who then keels over dead unnoticed as the world goes on without him. It’s over. Wake up and die right because dead you are.
October 9th, 2005 at 11:53 amI need your help, very badly.
I’m trying to get this war protest off the ground. I’m posting it as often as I can and as much as I can through CraigsList and email. But there is only so much I can do by myself…
If you would like to protest the war, by simply taking the day off of work on November 10th 2005, then please take my post off of this site that starts with “War Protest†and post it in as many places as you can. CraigsList, blogs, email, everywhere. Just take 10 minutes to help me get the ball rolling, and then take the 10th of November off. That’s all it would take. Anymore help beyond that which you think would be helpful, is greatly appreciated as well.
I can’t do it without your help.
Please.
Thanks
October 9th, 2005 at 12:35 pmSmedley,
I don’t think it’s feasible to launch 2 protests within 8 days of each other. We have to be united.

October 9th, 2005 at 2:09 pmSmedley,
You have been asked a number of times to stop posting the incorrect date. The “sick out” is on November 2nd. I truly believe now that you are intentionally trying to confuse the real November 2nd date.
Guess what? It ain’t gonna work.

October 9th, 2005 at 9:12 pmExcellent post.
Last call. Last hope. From now on the only hope is that every voter vote to DUMP a republican. (I was a registered republican till very recently) That third parties stay out and back Democrats though the democtat party is no prize at this time. Once the republican party is wiped out the voters need to either form a new party or insist on the democrat party reform its ways and return to a decent party as it once was. for the working class middle of the road or out they go too. We must insist that we do not want any multi millionairs and we do not want anyone that has family in elected office. America is NOT a club for rich families or ultra rich people. We need more real people and much less con artests in our government. we must insist that any war or occupation be only when it is just and any draft MUST draft ALL of the super rich of draft age before it accepts any people from working class people by enlistment or draft. Since the rich love all money including BLOOD money of others. from now on it must be their BLOOD on the line….Another option is a new revolution to free America from corrupt people in any office. PS…increase tax on all people earning $1 million or more by 20% and 30% for $3 million or more and 40% for $5 million or more and %60 for 10 million or more. 75% for $20 million or more. If they don’t like it they can leave the country with no right to return or visit But they may not keep more than 10% of their assets.
October 10th, 2005 at 1:05 amThen there might be peace on earth with true and equal justice for all humanity.
The only way to stop the GOP from ripping off the taxpayer is to light a fire under the Democrats’ collective ass.
This is a two-party system, so, unfortunately, there are no alternatives.
I have come to despise the Dems’ spinelessness and timidity. But, they are our only chance to throw the GOP out in 2006, and to end the squandering of taxpayer’s money, and the despoiling and raping of our country.
Time to write/e-mail/phone our respective Democratic representatives.
October 10th, 2005 at 5:39 pmthis is no way to end oil dependence! shame on the House, and shame on Jeb “Slick Jebbie” Bush for flip-flopping on the Florida oil drilling issue…

October 11th, 2005 at 12:00 pm[...] Porkopolis is reporting that Congresswoman Jean Schmidt was one of the deciding votes for the infamous roll call of shame. H.R.3893, nicknamed the leave-no-oilman-behind bill, simplies the construction of oil refineries. Interestingly enough Shell Oil President John Hofmeister is questioning even the need for new refineries. [...]

October 14th, 2005 at 3:26 pmEveryone. How can we organize a nationwide strike for workers. How can we organize a boycot of products that are contributing to environmental problems. How can we organize people to actually go into the streets and protest what is going on? How? Everyone is tired from work, home watching tv, taking long hot showers and producing more than 1 kilo of garbage per day. So, where is the balance? Voting? I don’t think so. We need new strategic methods, just like the criminals have in the governments throughout the world. This entire world is being run by criminals, with a few good ones mixed in.
I just wish that there would be less corrections and disputes in this post and more individual action. Do your part. Spend 10 hours a week dedicating yourself to changing things. Spend 10 hours less a week with the TV and internet. Do it. 10 hours multiplied by 1 million people is more energy spent on something good and certainly more than is spent by this silly ridiculous band of decendents from the wealthy who have really no real idea what it is like to flip a burger in the first place.
October 14th, 2005 at 3:29 pmThe GOPers will not admit that the issue of refineries has to do with the fact that big oil doesn’t WANT TO BUILD REFINERIES.
October 14th, 2005 at 6:03 pmA Shell representative said as much last week and it has been policy for decades not to see big enough profits in new refineries.
Another GOPer lie that should be transparent to all except for their well-oiled media machine’s message that the DEMS somehow DO NOT WANT REFINERIES AND ARE KEEPING THE OIL COMPANIES FROM THIS NEEDED INDUSTRY.
Energy companies DO want to build nuclear power plants, however.
What does it profit any man to gain the whole world and then kill it?

October 15th, 2005 at 1:09 amThe people have lost their presence in the U.S. Congress. If I were given a choice of which country to be born into, even as a soul ready to incarnate the human body, and my mind unknowing and infant, I would have put the U.S. far down on the list.
The country in which this took place is the real “SHAME”. The populous is now in the hands of a few bulls, and these animals are only strenthening themselves as they kick the dirt up, snorting episodes like these from their ringed noses.
Soon, the U.S. populous will feel the horns of these Republicans as they make their final charge into the successful formation of a government-so-very-NOT-by-the-people. Welcome back, CIA days of cloak and dagger and secretive governing and powerless people.
Welcome back, indeed.

DEMOCRAT,REPUBLICAN,OR WHATEVER YOU MUST ANSWER TO
THE THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY, NOW!!!!!!
Let me get this straight… we “help” consumers by increasing refining capacity to increase supply and lower pump prices (prices which are STILL ultimately at the discretion of the oil companies), but do so by providing tax-payer provided incentives and subsidies to the most profitable “private” industry in the nation. So the deficit goes ever higher, until these same consumers get f***ed by either A) the necessity of higher taxes (if a Democrat ever gets elected again), or B) a starved economy choking on deficit-induced sky-high interest rates and lost borrowing power (which is currently keeping the economy remotely afloat at present, however irresponsibly). Sounds like typical Republican bait-and-switch to me.
If we’re going to throw public money at private producers of energy (because of the “national interest”), why not then go all the way an nationalize the industry? The only difference is we kill the bloated profit[eering] motive, and work toward the same goals.
Nationalize the energy sector.
Vote Hugo Chavez, ‘08 (tongue very much in cheek).
October 15th, 2005 at 3:08 pmThe Republicans are once again showing their arrogance and UNCHRISTIAN ways. They only believe in the dollar that they can keep and to hell with everything else. When will America realize that this administration is disgusting and corrupt and force it out of office. Shame on all you Republican puppets—you are as bad as the terrorists that threaten us.
October 15th, 2005 at 6:06 pmReally disturbing the way these so called Congresspeople are raking off the citizens. Many are moving out of the US because of the way Bush and his cronnies are handling things. Even if we are in our 80’s, we are thinking of leaving as we are being run by Gastops! They certainly are as bad as the terriorists that threaten us. No better than Sudan Husein. (sp) Sorry.
October 15th, 2005 at 7:00 pmWhy don’t you all check out, and report on, the internal Texaco, Chevron and Exxon memos at http://www.prisonplanet.com/archives/peak_oil/index.htm.
This is all such a farce. I’m sure the democrats may suffer some embarassing moments, too. Where did America’s conscience, morals and ethics go??? In my world it’s called accountability for one’s actions. You screw up, you pay the price….no matter how rich or greedy you are.
October 15th, 2005 at 7:19 pmIf we expect honesty from those who depend on the lobbying crowd that has walked the halls of congress since there has been one, then we shall be murdered in our beds as we wonder what went wrong.
Nothing went wrong!
IT WAS EVER THUS!
It will not change until we change it! Until we require them to stand before the bar of justice and pay the price for their crimes. And make no mistake, they are criminals. Those who assisted in the murder of my voting right, by whatever means used, belong in jail and it is our duty to see that they arrive there as soon as the black mariah can make the trip. We have accepted this sort of manipulation for far too long.
The reality is that we cannot outspend these people for we have no access to their funds. We decide between food/board and transport. Therefore, we must use what we do have much of. Sweat!
Yes, we have to organize. Our neighbors and friends must be won to this struggle. We can no longer vote against our community self-interest. We must recognize that there are classes in America. And no matter their insistence that there are not, as long as we work for our bread and grits, we are workers! And so long as we refues to accept that fact, we continue to opt against ourselves and our families and communities.
Throw the bastards out!
October 16th, 2005 at 12:54 amIt saddens me to read day after day the corruption being done by Republican members of Congress and by members of the Bush administration. Our democracy is on the line. Either President Bush needs to wake up to the fact that this cannot continue or something drastic needs to be done. He has turned a blind eye to this or even worse is condoning it. Our democracy is still relatively new and cannot last if things continue as they have. I find it dispicable that this administration is in so many respects only concerned about the richest and most powerful people in our country and is ignoring the most vulnerable members of our country.
October 16th, 2005 at 8:22 pmWhat can they be doing to get responsible elected representatives to sell out their values, integrity, constituents, their future, and their country to change their votes within a half hours time? What do they SAY?
October 16th, 2005 at 9:20 pmhow can the democrats sleep at nght? they jut blow with the wind, republicn wind. dont get me wrong… im a democrat but wht type of wussys are we here? we need change
October 16th, 2005 at 9:55 pmharvey
The bottom line here is that this country has been screwed since 2000 when Bush first took (stole) office. Under his leadership, this country has gone to h*ll. The current leadership has undermined clean air acts, further endangered wildlife and precious resources, given us a trillion dollar defecit, screwed foregin relations and and the American middle class (if that even exists anymore). I agree with #181. What kind of Democrats are we electing when they won’t even stand up to the Republican party. I volunteer a lot of time, money and energy to the Democratic party but it seems like my efforts are not being put to good use when only a handful of Democrats will actually do something to help out the people who elected them.
October 17th, 2005 at 10:16 amSo much for ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’. Republicans (people’s party???) only care for their own pockets. Bush wants the world to have ‘democracy’ – by Americans are getting – “Do as I say, or I’ll get you!)
October 17th, 2005 at 12:01 pmHopefully by the year 2008, the same people who voted for Bush the first time around will have had some sense knocked into them to realize that they made a HUGE mistake and will vote for a candidate (Democrat preferrably) that will actually help America and its people rather than destroy it for personal gain!
October 17th, 2005 at 1:44 pmIt’s about time that the Democrates in the House and the Senate start to do something about all this illegal action taken by the Republicans in power.
October 18th, 2005 at 12:04 pmThese same politically corrupt people would be crying “impeachment” in President Clinton was still in office.
I blame some Democrates for allowing to be arm twisted into agreeing to some of Bush’s tactics.
I say to all Democrates,”stand up and do what’s right” and stop worring about being reelected when your term is up.
Some of us democrates still have a conscience.
Thank You, and please hurry as time is running short.
The subsidies are the most appalling thing about this bill. The last thing I want is my tax dollar subsidizing an oil or gas company. I read from the bill:
SEC 104 STANDBY SUPPORT FOR REFINERIES
….(b) Contract Authority —
(1) IN GENERAL. — The Secretary may enter into contracts under this section with non-Federal entities…to construct new refineries in the United States or refurbish and return to commercial operation existing but nonoperating refineries in the United States….that add a total of no more than 2,000,000 barrels per day…..
(2) CONDITIONS -…The Secretary shall pay to the non-federal entity the costs…using funds deposited in the Standby Refinery Support Account established uner (this bill, folks)….
and so on…using your tax dollar
October 18th, 2005 at 2:51 pmI’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore. Collectively, I don’t care left from right, if you are an American that truly cares about our the state of our purported Republic then I want you to get up, and go to your window, and I want you to hang your head out that window, and I want you to yell, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore”! In Beale-like fashion, we need to create a NETWORK to inform and educate, to help give America back to Americans by getting Americans off their apathetic butts, and leave the murdering, lying, stealing, conniving, environment desecrating, middle class eliminating, social elitist criminal members of the family Suidae (AKA the Bush administration et al)in our WAKE, and I mean in every sense of that word!!!!!
How about a million Americans march to Washington, and let them know that WE’RE MAD AS HELL, AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

[...] These increases are on top of their record profits. If a buisness is not able to keep up with the demand then the government should spend that money looking into something that will be of better use to the American people. CNN just reported on this in the last hour and it was described as simply and Democrats fighting for the environment against the need for refineries. The Congressional bill would limit the national total to six blends. The energy companies are investing more in making money than looking for oil.

November 7th, 2006 at 12:53 pmIf congress has so much money on its hands, why don’t these ‘representatives’ use it to pay off the national debt? Let the oil companies fund their own exploration! It’s not like they can’t afford it!
And if it makes the price of oil go up some more, then perhaps that will make alternative fuels more competitive until they can develop the processing capacity to make it even cheaper. Yet again we see such a clear lack of responsibility from Congress to work for the American public who hires them.

January 12th, 2007 at 1:26 amAmerican values voting gets twisted into one on morality, or false morality, rather than the straight line to what has always made America great.
Americans should resent that as much as having their citizenship turned into the pretzel like premise that aids such efforts – a favorite of political privateers.
Political expediency allowed to displace pillars of principle and character cannot hold fast the values upon which the nation was founded.
