Political Quotes

“I do not want to blame Republicans or Democrats for the price of gas. I think perhaps all of us have somewhat to share in it. We need to find a solution so we can become energy independent. I believe that the scientists, those people who live in our country who won a war, have the capability of creating a situation and doing the scientific research necessary to make us self-sufficient. But I do have a suggestion. I hear a lot from the other side about the environmental issues. We have passed several trade agreements in this country: GATT and the WTO that regulates environmental issues and labor issues and prohibits the employers in this country from even negotiating issues with those countries. So corporate America is leaving in an exodus from this country to build factories in Asia and other parts of the world. My suggestion to Big Oil is they use part of the $113 billion that they earned last year just to move south of Padre Island and south of San Diego and build refineries if that is what is causing all of our high gas prices. They can build them there without environmental issues, and certainly no labor issues would be involved. That is my answer. ____________________”
