T. Boone Pickens is now a liberal…according to the mindless, brainless conservative talking point which stated Chuck Hagel was a liberal because he opposed the Iraq War…

Republican/Conservative ideology is the “threat” to human progress in the modern world.

Republicans routinely would rather have the issue than to have a bill so I don’t know why Pickens would be surprised in the least. This certainly comes as no news to me.

What? We need a massive ramp up of Renewable Energy? What kind of liberal hippie radical communist environazi wacko Greenpeace Green-Party Rachel Carson-loving nonsense talk is that??

Oh… T. Boone Pickens said it? Um…Oh. Sorry.

Face it Boone, this group of Repugnicants has disdain for the old power heads. James Baker’s firm did a study showing America could never be energy self sufficient in an oil based economy.

George W. Bush & Dick Cheney commissioned the study. I guess it’s buried in some super secret pile in the V.P.’s man sized safe.

KTP, I agree. Many of the shrewest business people do see how this election is going to turn out, and are trying to demonstrate right now that they will be willing to work with President Obama’s admin.

Everyone, keep your eyes open for Obama’s ads emerging on Thursday and Friday. I bet we see Keating, and with Rick Davis news that he was not only paid to lobby for Freddie/Fannie, but that he also pushed those “minority loans” that the GOPers are trying to blame for the entire financial mess.

These will be the mushroom clouds of political ads, all rolled out in time to put McStain in a highly defensive, and dare I say, highly angered, position for Friday’s debate.

Should be interesting!

PEACE

Could it be that the big oil interests feel threatened by this “all of the above” approach because it threatens their ability to get all the energy money?

Think about it – what could threaten their record profits more than a solar panel, a windmill, and a natural gas line? If so, then of course they don’t want the likes of T. Boone Pickens pitching his “let’s-do-it-all approach.” And since the conservatives are obviously sleeping with the oil men (yech), it is not only “drill, baby, drill” it is “drill, only drill.”

Big oil is not content with their share of the energy pie – they want the whole pie.

Arctic Ghetto Says:

The Republicans are in bed with the same country club grifters as they ever were.

country club grifters. yep… all of them, or else they wouldn’t be Republicans. I loath these guys.

The Republicans are in bed with the same country club grifters as they ever were. I am sure Boone has toasted them many a time and knows the standard moves under the sheets. The same group of sheep who gave us Bush are very close to giving us an ancient McCain paired with cartoon character.

There’s only 2 things that republicans want today as I see it. They want everybody’s money for themselves and their friends and they want the right situation to arise so they can appease their Christian fundie base by initiating the rapture. I wish we could drill every republican straight into the ground and throw the fundies in to cover them up.
