Yep, lets build a pipeline so Canada can get their oil to a port. Ever wonder why they didn't build a pipeline across Canada?

By the way, dumbass Dave, getting oil from our 51st state is just as good from the standpoint of national security as getting it from the other 57.

Now, if only we could eliminate union obstacles so that Alaskan oil could be shipped to the West Coast.

Ted Cruz and the 47 Percent
“For anyone who is a fan of limited government, for anyone who is a fiscal conservative and economic conservative, November 6, 2012, was an ugly, ugly day,” said Ted Cruz, the new United States senator, during his speech at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s biennial policy orientation.
With the legislature largely quiet on its second day of the 83rd session, the speech was the biggest political event in Austin today. Cruz has been touted as a rising star in the Republican Party for several years, and national conservatives saw his election as one of the few bright spots for the GOP last year—a view that the Texas audience, which greeted Cruz with a standing ovation, clearly shared. Yet Cruz had some critical words for his party, and his message, which he’s calling “opportunity conservatism,” that marks a shift in tone for Texas Republicans, if not in policy implications.
Cruz started the speech by explaining that he disagreed with accounts of the November elections that concluded that Republicans had been too extreme, or that the American people had given up on conservatism as a concept. In fact, he added, more than half of voters, in exit polls, had said that government was doing too much. His explanation was that Republicans had simply come up short.“Margaret Thatcher famously said,‘first you win the argument, then you win the vote,” he said.“Republicans did neither.” He continued:“If you want to sum up what was wrong with the election, it was ‘47 percent.’”
This is a diagnosis that Cruz has given before, notably in an op-ed in the Washington Post last week. In his view, Democrats have made the case that the United States is divided between the haves and the have-nots, and that the Republicans are the party of the plutocrats. Not only have Republicans failed to contest that, they’ve occasionally seemed to agree with it; that’s what happened with Mitt Romney’s now-notorious comments, at a fundraiser, that 47 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax and therefore expect government to help take care of them. In his speech, Cruz took pains to say that he didn’t think Romney meant it the way it came out; people are bound to bungle some of the things they say. But the comments nonetheless corroborated suspicions about Republicans, and sealed the party’s fate, at least for 2012.

You are correct with respect to Alaskan oil, the export of which to foreign ports was prohibited in 1977 under the Alaska Pipeline enabling legislation.

However, the Jones Act prohibits the use of foreign flag vessels between Alaska and the US West Coast for all other shipping, increasing costs for Alaska residents and businesses.

47 percenters...

Sec 8 homies!

"...Janikowski merged his computer map of crime patterns with Betts’s map of Section8 rentals. Where Janikowski saw a bunny rabbit, Betts saw a sideways horseshoe (“He has a better imagination,” she said). Otherwise, the match was near-perfect. On the merged map, dense violent-crime areas are shaded dark blue, and Section8 addresses are represented by little red dots. All of the dark-blue areas are covered in little red dots, like bursts of gunfire. The rest of the city has almost no dots."

I happen to be in favor of new restrictions on the capacity of guns.

So we can assume that you ARE in favor of banning assault weapons. Or is this just a rambling rant from a drunken, unemployed, uneducated tea bagger moron?

Speaking of mandates, Bush won the 2004 race with 3.6 million more votes than Kerry.
Obama recieved 5 million more votes than Rmoney.
Put another way,Obama recieved 5 million more votes in 2012 than Bush had in 2004!!
65 Million for Obama's mandate.
59.2 million for Bush's mandate.
Kerry recieved 55.7 million votes. The margin for Bush was 3.6 million votes.
Yet Bush claimed a mandate.
"CNN host Tucker Carlson, co-host of CNN's Crossfire: "[N]obody has done it since 1988. The president wins reelection with a majority of the vote. It is a mandate. What will he do with it now?[CNN, Crossfire, 11/3/04]"
Funny how your side measures mandates!!
Obama beat Rmoney by 5 million votes, recieved more votes than Bush vs Kerry.
If Bush had a mandate, as he claimed, Obama has a double mandate!!
You're not very good at this, ya know.
You look stupid when you claim Obama didn't win a mandate.

You may have a point.

Difference being Bush didn't represent only those who pushed him over the top.

Hey Lincoln, why were you planning on driving all the freed slaves to Central America? Been curious about that one for awhile.

Original Lincoln proposed many policies in a society where only white men could vote.
Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment seem to speak his intentions.
Books have been devoted to this question.

"Assault weapon" is a popular, but largely meaningless term, based primarily on appearance of the firearm.

The US oil EXPORTS are at the highest levels since 1949. Exxon is going to build one of the largest natural gas ports in the gulf to EXPORT all the new found gas in America. Seems like you Repubs got suckered on that Drill Baby Drill deal..
.
All that new gas that was suppose to stop the oil imports but yet Exxon is shipping it to China. Suckers!!!!!!!!!

Another obvious Dumbascrap! Brownsville? What a dump! Seriously, that place has already achieved "third world country" status. Place needs to be flushed. Anyone living there sure doesn't need to go around calling others uneducated, drunk or unemployed!!!
