MoveOn.Org attacks My Congressman, John Culberson

This video starts with a MoveOn.Org representative being interviewd by KPFT Radio. Note the softball questions. When they finish, I ask her if she will answer my questions. Which, to her credit, she does.

The MoveOn rally was suprised to see some of Culberson's constituants actually show up in support of their congressman. MoveOn.org says Culberson should represent his district instead of "Big Oil". I would suggest that with all of the oil companies headquarted in his district, Culberson is representing his district.

We SHOULD drill for more oil and create American jobs today and reduce the price of oil and gasoline. We SHOULD conserve where possible and make more fuel efficient vehicles. We SHOULD look for alternative energy solutions. We SHOULD NOT exclude increasing supply when that is proven to work EVERY TIME it is tried.

Pretty silly analysis. You guys should be happy that they would be spending more of their "evil profits" on trying to find new oil. The former president of Shell says they can produce oil in 5 years, but just the thread to drilling has already lowered prices. $3.50 today in Houston, Texas.

repub or dem, whoever is the rep for my city of Houston is going to take a lot of money from oil companies, it is freaking Houston, and he's a freaking politician. that is how politics works. that is like noting that the dems from nyc take money from wall street, duh. they don't take money from wall street b/c they are dems, they take money from wall street b/c they are from nyc. i bet she only sees one side. she is a sexy liberal, haha. I don't support Culberson b/c he voted for medicareD

This ignorant utopian useful idiot needs to be stripped of everything in her life that involves drilling for oil. You know, like her hair dye, back pack, tit job, bycycle tires, microwave, etc. These fuckheads are totally void of in deapth thought.

All right, here's something I don't get... if "just the thread to drilling has already lowered prices" (I'm assuming you mean "threat OF drilling"?), doesn't that show that gas prices now have NO correlation whatsoever ACTUAL drilling? Oil prices are being manipulated by speculators who are playing the public for fools. They need to be re-regulated like they were before Phil Gramm and wife got the laws changed for Enron. Maybe talking about regulating these leeches will reduce the price more!

Actually, the latest government report said it would take 5 years to survey potential oil sites for auction, 5 years for an auction to take place, 5 years before the first oil starts running, and 5 years before there is enough oil to affect oil prices. This is 20 years at a minimum, but in the short term the oil companies will have to spend billions to get at the oil, so Bush-McCain's oil drilling will increase oil prices over the next 20 years.
