I've seen the 25% US world usage of produced oil in conjunction with 3% of
US reserves statement used several times by various democrats and it is
stupid and meaningless.
Since they couldn't have come up with the same stupid thing independent it
had to have come from somewhere.
I say the DNC.
You do know that the democrats spend 99% of their time devising lies,
smears
character assassination and stupid talking points like that for their
flock
to parrot don't you?
Debating the democrats in this NG is like debating a talking point parrot.
Not a lick of brains behind it.

I'm not hiding. I'm pointing out that what he said is meaningless.

Wake up, Debacle. I didn't say that. I said it's their fault we are not
drilling in ANWR and offshore.
