It doesn't surprise me at all that you would pimp for a country that wants us destroyed or that you buy foreign gasoline. I bet you also drive a Toyota :roll:
And you claim to be a Teamster, you should turn in your union card

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco.............................0 barrels
Conoco............................0 barrels
0ASinclair.......................0 barrels
BP / Phillips................... 0 barrels

Hess...............................0 barrels
ARC0.................................0 barrels
Maverick..........................0 barrels
Flying J..........................0 barrels
Valero.............................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the U...S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

dockman?? Reagan my hero?? hardly.... and you know that. It was an illustration of how far hard right today's democrats are leaving only a lunatic fringe on the right for goBPers. It was Reagan that, in earnest, began the war on the middle class and consolidation of America's wealth into the hands of a few.

not at all haz,you favor government control .. but private companies can do it better than the government ..that's why the government doesn't do it ...they don't know how to run anything efficiently .. .....that's why places like venezeula is having the problems it has ...socialism is a failure

Yup, you got it, my main transporation is a Honda, Reflex scooter! 23,ooo, trouble free miles. It's probably the best made scooter in the world! Why can't we manufacture such a quality product? Maybe because the oily, lobbiest, can't stand the thought of someone getting almost 70 mpg?

I think Harley Davidson, limits their thinking, and marketing technics, very smart! :oops:

unlike Harley Davidson, my motor cycle is 100% UNION made....and there are some things that private business should do, and some things that are better a function of government. like delivery of medical care...Medicare has about a 3% overhead. and major insurance companies have between 20 and 30% overhead to include massive profit and CEO pay that is obtained by applying insurance death panel to your claim and denying you coverage. Highways are usually a co-op between govt and private road builders. when I was in the Marines those serving and cooking in the mess were also Marines capable of handling a weapon if we were over-run, not some third world contractors hired by Halliburton that needed to be protected at peril to the entire company.

PLEASE just look at who benefits from alleged "free trade"...it certainly is not some spineless democrat...it is multi-national corporations who give heavily to the goBP. as an example one of the 20 worst CEOs of all time, Carly Fiorino, is trying to purchase a senate seat in California, the same person that fired over 20,000 American employees and sent the work to asia.....this is what the goBP is all about, so I cannot understand your knee jerk reaction to protecting monsters like Fiorono, AIG, Citi group etc.....but then these multi-national do need their useful idiots.

Hahahaha! Your a funny leftist bed wetting liberal. Just look at the countries that adopt your "left" and see how bad theses ecomy goes. Our country may not be perfect, but its better than your vision of one that provides all (while everyone loses freedom) at which point no one can do for themselves. And there economy goes in the crapper. But you always find away to blame capitilism.

krash. you seem to think you know all, but then you post stupid things, I don't get it. You have NO idea what "economy" I prefer, and obviously you are ignoring what "capitalism" as practiced in America (actually corporate socialism) has done to the rest of the world. however the social democracies like Germany, Norway, etc, had fallout from the global collapse, they are doing better than the good ole' US of A... and facist regimes like China and Viet Nam are doing better because of currency manipulation, and their ability to export cheap shit to the good ole US of A. as well as exporting unemployment.....thanks to the multi-national corporations that are currently filling the coffers of the goBP!

You should be ecstatic that the old center right politician Obama has played his class warfare card before the midterms

however Farley--the Top 5 percent in income earners — those households earning $210,000 or more — account for about one-third of consumer outlays, including spending on goods and services, interest payments on consumer debt and cash gifts, according to an analysis of Federal Reserve data by Moody’s Analytics--

but your center right president is about to whack them with another huge tax increase so he can appear to be the hero of the middle class

Those evil rich making 200-250k, they are the small business owners and professionals who hire people and spend money so that others can hire people. That is really going to help the middle class :oops:

Just how incredibly stupid can the left be--

eggy, you didn't think that one through, did you? do you realize the upper income people have enjoyed a ten year tax break (passed by goBPers and limited to ten years) and that Old Bama is NOT proposing an increase in tax, just allowing the CHENEY/JimBeam/tax cut to expire for the top 2%, not the 5% you expanded it to. Also you neglected to research what these people are doing with their current tax cut. They are either hoarding the capital, depriving our economy of the fuel it needs, or they are investing over seas (a 300% increase by the way)... so it is important that this money be put back into circulation in AMERICA for the benefit of AMERICANS. eggy, even you know this to be true, so why are you carrying water for monsters like the Koch Brothers and that killer miner Blankenship?

Farley,
Have you ever tried open your eye's or mind? Or do you feel the closed minded you are the better? A blind follower of anything extremely left. No matter the proof shown to you, you continue to tote that socialist flag.
