I would also fly in a jet plane. I would also cross the street and play golf without a helmet on.

There are pipelines everywhere. They aren’t a risk. We just need more of them. We also need to pump more oil. This would give our governemnt more royalty fees, hire more people to build and operate them, and get the price of fuild down.

Lower fuil prices would stimulate the economy better than Obama’s silly little tax cutt.

I wonder if Perry will take credit for the jobs created when all the states combined have to approve the construction that enables Texas to refine the oil.

Charge a royalty on any of the oil that is refined here and sold overseas.

It would cost less to build a refinery than 1000s of miles of pipeline that can be destroyed by terrorists and cause a disaster.

Texas is for refinement only. The oil is being exported. As usual…the Kneejerk Right don’t read the story and now they think Michelle Bachmann should be president to lower gas prices to $2.00 a gallon

How about in YOUR backyard?

But you don’t. You are like many others: you feel the need to tell us what we should and should not be doing with our lives and how we should live.

It’s time for America to make the best use of its own reserves. And what better time when the economy is in need of new jobs and exploration in our own Country.

Who are “we”? Exxon?
