Romney campaign admits Oil & Gas Industry wrote their energy plan

http://www.politicususa.com/romney-campaign-admits-oil-gas-industry-wrote-energy-plan.html


Doesn’t it seem like the Romney campaign has taken to throwing random numbers on to a pretty chart, and then proclaiming look at our plan!!!!

Here is the Romney energy plan boiled down to it’s simplest terms.

1). Let the oil and gas industry do whatever it pleases.

2). ??????????????

3). Woo-hoo!!! Energy independence by 2020.

This plan looks oddly familiar. In fact, we saw this same plan in 2008 when it was called drill, baby drill. The Romney plan looks like it would be a dream deal for the gas and oil industries, and it should, because they wrote it.


Romney’s plan is based on the outright lie that the oil and natural gas drilled for in this country belongs to the United States.

The is the Republican Party’s big lie.

Any oil or natural gas drilled for in the United States belongs to the oil and natural gas companies, and those companies are free to sell American resources on the global market. Before the debate can even be held on Romney’s plan for energy independence by 2020, it needs to be understood that the entire Republican premise is built on a lie.

Say that it isn't SO

I would never have believed that a fine upstanding Mormon such as Mitt Romney would delve into the spiritual corruptions offered by big money!
