Just Say No To Hillary Clinton

Yeah, right. Keep dreaming Hillary.
In a last ditch effort to pander to as many people as possible ahead of tomorrow’s primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, Hillary has let out a doozy!

“We’re going to go right at OPEC,” she said. “They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush place in the world, they decide how much oil they’re going to produce and what price they’re going to put it at,” she told a crowd at a firehouse in Merrillville, IN.

“That’s not a market. That’s a monopoly,” she said, saying she’d use anti-trust law and the World Trade Organization to take on OPEC.

Will it work? Will she get enough votes to hold on? We’ll see Tuesday….

WTF? Has the toll of the political road made her even more touched in head? In the long list of Hillary’s wacky promises, ($5000 per child, $1000 per 401K, etc.) this one may lead the list.

“I predict to you, the oil-producing countries will drop the price of oil,” Clinton said, speaking at the Manchester YWCA. “They will once again assume, once the cost pressure is off, Americans and our political process will recede.”
Clinton argued that former President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s actually started moving in the right direction toward energy independence, but his successor, Ronald Reagan, “dismantled” that work. Source

Again we say, WTF? Not only is she lying to the american people (again) she obviously is to stupid to understand economics. Maybe some of her advisors should explain it to her.
And as for the rest of it; Carter was moving things in the right direction? Reagan made it worse? Doesn’t she read any history at all? Carter’s ineptitude and lack of action caused the crisis to develop to near unmanageable proportions. His oh so fabulous “diplomacy” skills, you know the ones that he always says President Bush lacks, failed. Again. Just as they failed in every other aspect of his Presidency (but that is a story for someone else’s blog). It was, in fact, President Reagan’s mandate to cut price controls that brought the crisis to an end!
And yet, you people still seem to want to elect her. Don’t you?

Hillary Clinton opened up her cloak of moderation this morning to reveal her Socialist undergarments. And in doing so, she sounded more like Venezuelan bobble head Socialist idiot Hugo Chavez than an American Presidential candidate. This morning at the winter meeting of the Democratic party, she called for the government, our government, right here in the good old USA, to take the profits of a private oil companies. We kid you not. Here is her quote:

I want to take those profits, and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund..

WTF? She wants to take the profits?
Here’s the video goodness, so see for yourself. If she wants to take the profits now, how long before she wants to nationalize the oil industry just like Chavez has done over the past 9 months? We’re not sure what’s scarier, her statements, or the fact that people actually would consider voting for this woman for President.

Okay, before we get out of here for the weekend, here’s some more duplicitous double talk from the Queen of hypocrisy.

Our present system of energy is weakening our national security, hurting our pocketbooks, violating our common values and threatening our children’s future,” she said in a speech at the National Press Club. “Right now, instead of national security dictating our energy policy, our failed energy policy dictates our national security.

Ummm, no Hillary, the lunatics running around the world shouting “Death to America” are dictating our foreign policy right now. By the way Hillary, please note your flip flop on ethanol below.
And one more for the road:

The 55 mile speed limit really does lower gas usage, and wherever it can be required and that people will accept it, we ought to do it,” Clinton said.

The senator admitted that the move would be too unpopular to implement nationwide. “Well, there are just some parts of the country where that’s just not going to happen,” she said. “You know, where you’ve got miles of open, flat road.”

“I mean, there are things that can be done. So maybe the trade off is, you know, most of the country where 55 miles an hour doesn’t seem like a burden, we have that. In the rest of the country, inflate your tires before you head off into the sunset,”

Isn’t that what we have now? Speed limits dictated by road conditions? Insert obligatory picture of person scratching head HERE! This woman is sitting on more fences right now than an arthritic crow.

Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone

This is why Hillary Clinton talks a lot but never says anything. Because she is always on both sides of every issue, depending on who she is bullshitting at the time.

Hillary Clinton plugs increased ethanol use

Sen. Hillary Clinton, who once opposed requiring motorists to use corn-based ethanol in their cars, proposed Tuesday to dramatically boost use of the alcohol fuel.

Clinton called for $1 billion in grants for research on methods of making ethanol from plant cellulose…

But…

Clinton, who is considered a frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, was one of 26 senators who opposed the energy bill passed by Congress last year mandating the use of 7.5 billion gallons of ethanol by 2012.

Clinton opposed both the ethanol mandate and lawsuit protections for
ethanol.

How’s that fence feel between the naughty bits Hillary?

Well kiddies, let’s mark this one down for the future shall we. Here we have Hillary supporting a potential major government fiasco / money pit. But does she even find out what is actually going to happen? No. Does she realize that it’s not feasable? No. Does she even show up to vote on it? No, she gives her proxy vote to that lunatic liberal in the closet from Vermont.

… that same day the Committee on the Environment & Public Works convened to put the finishing touches on a bill to provide federal incentives to local communities seeking to help ease the nation’s energy pinch by allowing the construction of gasoline refineries in their districts.

But committee member James Jeffords, an independent senator from Vermont, showed up with a better idea, for which he had already corralled the support of Sen. Clinton, who had given him her proxy vote then never bothered to show up at all.

Sen. Jeffords’ bizarre idea: To establish a nationwide network of “Strategic Reserve” petroleum refineries, to be built by the Environmental Protection Agency and fired up whenever gasoline stockpiles seem ready to run dry.

Unfortunately, among the plan’s many problems is the fact the government lacks the ability to construct even one refinery, let alone an entire network.

The only source of that expertise? What else but the Halliburton Co. of Houston, which Sen. Clinton has been accusing since early in the Iraq war of profiteering through no-bid government contracts…..

NY Post Story

Ah, the true socialist is briefly rearing it’s ugly head. In a speech before alternative energy producers in D.C. Hillary proposed a massive $20 billion energy tax on oil companies. Ouch. Why should we allow companies to make profits in our capitalist economy when we can just take them away. A tax is a tax, no matter how you phrase it Hillary.

Sen. Clinton calls for $20 billion fund from oil companies

WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton urged the government to collect billions of dollars in new fees from major oil companies and use the money to fund energy research and help consumers cope with the high price of heating this winter.

Clinton, D-N.Y., told a group of clean energy investors and advocates that a major new push toward efficient use of oil, gas, wind, and solar energy was needed to confront a looming energy crisis.
