Details of Cheney’s secret energy policy are leaking out

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I see that the details of Vice President Cheney’s secret energy policy are being revealed–a corn-ethanol boondoggle, no encouragement of conservation, no improved fuel efficency for motor vehicles and $4 a gallon diesel and gasoline. I doubt if George Bush would recognize switch grass if he were standing in a field of it. We can’t solve the long-term energy problem by punching more holes in the ground.  It is analogous to running an auto race on a dead-end street.

Doyle, I think the Post Disgrace cut off the paragraph were you laid out your solution, can you post it up here for us all to see?

You’re sitting on a time bomb. Doyle. With these details of a secret energy policy that you’ve risked life and limb to expose, Cheney will be impeached, convicted and strung up with piano wire attached to ultra-sensitive appendages.

Please furnish a list of the people who wanted to buy fuel efficient vehicles but were tricked into accepting delivery of a gas guzzling SUV.

Doyle, since your so into secrets, you wouldnt happen to have to have the skinny on San Fran Nan’s two year old secret on how to lower gas prices?

Icon,

You only risk your life when you expose Dead Eye Dick’s adultery, not his secret energy policies.

“Cheney will be impeached, convicted and strung up with piano wire attached to ultra-sensitive appendages.”

What? Are they sending him to GITMO?

Um, is anyone surprised that the eneregy policy formulated by Richard “I only shoot ‘em once” Cheney would contain (or not contain) the things this letter writer mentioned.
I’m not surprised at all.

Cheney will eventually be counting all the money he makes from through his connections in the private sector with the devil.

Yep. That mean old Cheney has been calling the shots since 1974 when U.S. energy vulnerability was forcefully demonstrated by the oil cartels. Someday folks will realize that the USA is no longer the big boy on the block. We chose to replace the free market engine with a government windmill. Our industry, economy, and living standard have begun the decline along with our dissolving freedoms and incentives. Welcome to the Great Society. Tell nanny you need some gas money.

Mr. Perry, you have roused the red ant colony of angry Bush/Cheney idolators here.

As I pointed out in ‘99, let’s list all the GOOD reasons to have two oil men run our nation.

Regardless of the marketplace, speculators, a shrinking dollar, and a nation of petroleum junkies(my own mainline habit runs to about 25 gallons a week, in gasoline), I am ready to be entertained by the usual suspects regarding how prescient and far-looking DICK AND GEORGE have been in anticipating the need of this nation for a sober and enlightened energy policy.

Of course, that is assuming their anticipation would be one for the good of the citizenry, and not the energy industry. Go ahead, Oh Ye Bush Idolators….

A White House document shows that executives from big oil companies met with Cheney’s energy task force as early as 2001…Something the oil executives denied in 2005 when testifying before Congress. The White House tried to keep the meetings secret even after it was public knowledge that the oil executives lied before Congress (they were not under oath under White House insistance).

In Alan Greenspan’s new book “The Age of Turbulence” he states:
“I’m saddened that it is politically inconvient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil”….Bush’s former economic adivsor Paul O’Neil states in his memoirs “The Price of Loyalty” “The President behavior at cabinet meetings is like a blind man in a room full of deaf people…Cheney handles things off-line and frequently interceps the President’s dubious remarks”. O’Neil also revealed discussions among top advisors often moved to strategies to divvy up Iraq’s oil wealth and that Cheney’s energy policy was designed to help the private sector…..Let the American people be damned.

Tonight, Bush will be in St. Louis to discuss our troubled economy. The sad news is that the state of our economy is right where Cheney’s wants it….We’re the fools.

Wow, where do these loony Leftists hear all of this stuff. If it was a secret Dick Cheney plan, how come they all know about it? So many conspiracy theories with so little time to peddle ‘em.

Try living in reality, or, as Rodney Dangerfield said in “Back to School,” “how ’bout Fantasy Land.”
