This is from the damn dirty fox news but try and hold your stomach down to watch it. Her comments come at the end.

Did you see the reaction of the people sitting next to her? That was priceless.

Hello Steven, Mav! What say you of this insight into the liberal thinking?

We prefer actual issues.

We prefer actual issues.

This is an issue. Deal with it.

What that Waters says one thing somehow becomes a Democrat platform?

Get real Gary... learn to tell the difference among singular statements and what you want to delude yourself to believe.

Nationalize a natural resource like we do with lakes and rivers and other things of nature? That's crazy.

That one went a mile over your head. She was talking about nationalizing the oil companies. And it is crazy. This is your typical liberal mindset. Another reason why your overconfidence isn't warrented.

I can't view the video right now, so I can't make a direct comment on it, but the concept of nationalizing our natural resources is nothing new, Gary. Ask the Lakota Tribes about the U.S. and the Black Hills. In any case, I'm hoping that the high price of oil will spark or motivate this country to actually take bold steps towards rethinking how we deal with energy.

As for Maxine Waters...she's a super delegate who endorsed Hillary a long time ago.

She was talking about taking the oil companies over. Nationalizing the oil industry. She used the word socialist several times before she caught herself and change it to nationalized. This is the liberal mindset. Let the government take over.

She used it once and James Rosen added at the end that the word she was looking for was "nationalizing" the oil industry.

And yeah, pretty silly to take over the industry. Regulation is enough as that neck of the woods goes. Funny Shell did not answer the question it was asked, too.

He did. He said inaction will make higher prices certain.

Saying that's the liberal mindset over and over, Gary, won't make any less ludicrous than it already is...it just makes you sound like an annoying parrot of the Right Wing punditry. Don't you notice how you take things to extreme to try to make your point? Someone brings up national healthcare and you squak, "socialism, socialism! squak, squak!" It's comical. You have this insipid fear that anything run by government as evil and it's just silly. Sure there are left wing wackos within the Party just as there are right wing nutjobs in the GOP. I'm not ready to label Maxine Waters a wacko, but she's said some controversial things in the past. Do you remember B1 Bob? Bob Dornan from Orange County? Now that guy was nuckin futz. Every Party has 'em, Gary...and it would be one thing if several Democrats were all suggesting the same thing, but it appears to be just a loose cannon.

He did. He said inaction will make higher prices certain.

The question was... will they guarantee lower prices if allowed to speculate for oil more than they do so?

Of course he wasn't going to answer that. You can't do so with a finite resource/product. Econ 101.

He gave the correct answer. Prices will go up if we don't drill. It's the only answer to a stupid question.
