Cramer is expressing the frustration of millions of Americans. Maybe we should all be on medication.

Ahhhhh, the real reason Dems are calling for socialized medicine is finally revealed: to keep us all drugged and complacent.

This election season has provided so much gold for republican candidates to use, both for the presidency and the legislative branch, if we don’t take hold of what has been provided and lose elections, it is our own fault.

The reason any sane politician would be a little shy of suggesting we produce our own oil from our own reserves is shown in this video. Did you notice the patronizing view the other people had with regards to his saying something sensible? He became an instant mental case and leper.

McCain: Our only hope for cheaper gas or is he just full of the stuff?…

In one of the few halfhearted efforts to woo the conservative base, and possibly the majority of gas-grizzled Americans, John McCain will announce tomorrow that he is for the encouragement of domestic oil drilling… to some extent that he hasn……

I’m Sorry! I must have watched this thing like 6 times in a row repeatedly with the hugest grin on my face. Boy, did they want him off that stage fast! They were all obviously uncomfortable with that rant.

Ed Morrissey makes a great observation and one that has me stumped as well. But then it is apparent that Fuck It McCain is just playing at this Run…

Cramer’s right…off shore rigs ought to dot the horizon.

May a well, China has started drilling south of Florida.

What’s the difference between ‘some’ and ‘most’?

Fact is, most Americans eat up the populist “stick-it-to-the-man” nonsense that Liberals like Obama spew daily.

It is unbelievable that we are looking at this oil crisis and we dont have a republican running for president who understands high school level economics and the need to increase supply.

We should throw McCain the loser off the bridge and start over again. He is friggin awful. The country has no chance with the guys that are left that wont even drill in Alaska….unfrickinbelievable. It makes me want to not even support the war anymore…just drill at home, build some nuclear plants and tell the people living in the sand to bite me.

It is a tyranny of a minority over the majority. (Minority = environmentalist whackos. Majority = clear-minded, clear-thinking people.)

Only the truly self-destructive brain-dead don’t get it:

If you’re hungry, harvest the food and EAT it.

If you’re cold, drill the fuel out of the ground and BURN it.

Deals could be made: drill here in exchange for much stronger environmental protections over there. But to use the common smear against environmentalists, the anti-enviros are much too religious about their desire for ecological destruction to even attempt a reasonable compromise.

thuja on June 16, 2008 at 1:06 PM

Earth to thuja…

We already have the much, MUCH stronger environmental protections. Can we drill already? Oh, you mean even more economy crippling regulations. Sorry, we’ve already played the severe environmental protection game for a few decades… I just don’t believe liberals anymore.

Oh, and thanks for the nice smear. And just what ecological destruction are you talking about? We’ve been drilling oil for what… over a hundred years? And I don’t even know of one “ecological disaster” that we are still recovering from. Please come back to reality and stop trying to smear us with some imagined, horrific disaster that hasn’t occurred.

Cramer has a melt down. In other news, the sun rose this morning in the east, and scientists predict it will set in the west.

I like the idea of soaking the Entertainment industry. It’s not like they produce anything vital, after all. Let me talk to them, I have some pull…:

SR: You want WHAT?
Mojo: Half. Of the gross.
SR: Yeah? And why should I give it to you?
Mojo: Because I asked nicely?
SR: …
Mojo: Ok, bad joke. Because I have the Gubmint behind me, and if you don’t pay, they’ll throw you in a deep, dark prison.
SR: Half, huh?…

Neither party wants to adopt it because both parties have swallowed the red pill of AGCC. It’s like immigration. They both want the goodies (massive regulatory control over wide swaths of the private sector), but they want them for different reasons (Dems: to get a handle on the free market to bring it in line with international socialism, Reps: to paint themselves as “responsible” on the environment and to secure bailouts for the energy companies stupid enough to buy into boondoggle “renewable” tech).

I don’t even want to vote in this stupid election.

Cramer’s a bit of a loon but he’s got a point here.

Enjoyed the Iron Man cameo too. That crazy playboy’s going to lose that company one of these days, mark my words.

Cramer is just stating the obvious. I can’t blame him, except that he is a little over dramatic for my tastes.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on June 16, 2008 at 1:10 PM

That man is lucky. In many States you do not own the mineral rights on your property. BUT if you own enough land, you can get a lease from the State and drill ON your own land.

If I remember right that guy did a seismic on his land (VERY expensive but you don’t have to drill), found a pocket and since it was in conjunction with neighbors asked if they wanted in on it and bought the pump jack outright. Very smart move and at this price, oil at 3-4 barrels a day isn’t bad!
