Mitt Romney just blamed other countries for taking profits in their own oil

[LSK]

Not only are the oil companies apparently profiting too much, but other countries such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela are profiting off their oil.

:grr:

[karlrschneider]

1. Yeah, how DARE those bastards charge for OUR oil?

:eyes:
:grr:

2. Can this guy...

Be any more of a moron?

Wait five minutes. I am sure he can.

[PDJane]

3. Will someone just bitchslap the lot?

The resources of the entire world are not to the extortionate profit of the US!!!

Lord and Lady............:grr: :banghead:

[H2O Man]

4. Well,

I think he meant to say they are taking profits on OUR oil. A minor mis-statement on Mitt's part.

[liberal N proud]

5. Just imagine, someone other than the oil companies making a profit!

How can that happen?

[tjwash]

6. Sure...he probably blamed the Native-Americans for being on our land before we got here too.

10. Did he slip up and call 'em Lamanites?

:shrug:

[mitchum]

7. Did he also mention the Saudis?

probably not

[LSK]

8. Saudis who????

;)

[BlooInBloo]

9. Well obviously we have to go to war with all of them.

11. He's an Investment Banker

gobbling up companies and "turning them around" with HUGE profits to himself --- taxed at capital gains and not income rates.

What could we expect????? Only corporations should own the most vital resources ---- never the governments. Unless, of course said corporations also own the governments in question.

Randi did a section on this today, without mentioing Mitt - just the topic in general.

He is a corporatist through and through --- and also a very disciplined Mormon.

Being a Mormon is not a disqualifier -- but depending on which side of the political fence they land -- count on them to be incredibly industrious and productive. A few of them are liberal, believe it or not. Harry Reid apppears to be on "our" side -- and Mo Udall definitely was.

Much to my amazement, a very good friend is a Mormon and while she pooh poohs the beliefs - she lives the life, while being chariming, hilarious AND a progressive. Her husband happens to be another investment banker and a true Repug.

[LSK]

12. yeah, I was listening to Randi today too

She made it clear that Corporations are now out to own Govts if Govts currently own oil.

[PDJane]

13. That's been the case for a long time.

It's that secret government thing........and, of course, the corporatocracy.
