Fact Check: Dick Cheney's Energy Bill Included Billions In Giveaways To Oil Companies
4/25/2008 6:24:29 PM
The AP counters the fact that Dick Cheney's 2005 energy bill contained "billions in dollars in giveaways to the oil companies" with the following:
The 2005 energy bill actually raised taxes on the oil and gas industry by about 300 million over 11 years, according to the Congressional Research Service.
Actually, The giveaways to the oil industry are not limited to tax breaks. They also include provisions like royalty relief that are worth billions. And many of the tax "increases" are simply extensions of exiting taxes that do not impose any additional burden on oil companies.
1. About half of giveaways were not tax provisions. For instance, the oil companies received billions in royalty waivers. For example:
Sections 344-345
Waives royalty payments for drilling for some natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico.
Section 346
Waives royalty payments for drilling in offshore Alaska.
Sections 353-4
Waives royalty payments for gas hydrate extraction on the Outer Continental Shelf and public land in Alaska.
Section 383
Allows oil companies drilling in federal land off the coast of a particular state to pay the state 44 cents ...

Clinton, Obama, and the Bush-Cheney energy bill that allows LNG to threaten Oregon
guest column
By Paddy McGuire of Portland, Oregon. Paddy is a former executive director of the Democratic Party of Oregon, a former Clinton Administration appointee, and a former deputy Oregon Secretary of State.
Last week, he contributed "The Red Sox Should Have Dropped Out".
Critics of Hillary Clinton repeatedly point to her 2002 vote to authorize going to war with Iraq (if Saddam Hussein continued to stymie U.N. weapons inspectors, a resolution supported by U.N. weapons inspector, Hans Blix) as the primary evidence that she should not be President. Many cite this vote as a reason to oppose Hillary, despite many of those same people having earlier supported John Kerry and John Edwards for President, who voted exactly the same way.
Fast forward to 2005.
Vice-President Cheney crafted an energy bill with corporate energy pals in Congress that stripped authority from the states on the siting of power plants.
Today, the Cheney-Bush Energy bill is responsible for no fewer than 3 LNG facilities threatening Oregon coastline, rivers, forests, fish, fishermen, farmers, and neighborhoods up and down western Oregon, and most of that natural gas will ultimately go ...

Juvenile Texas Republican Party knows they can't win fair and square

The Texas Republican Party continues to play politics like kindergarten playground bullies.

They are so afraid of the Democratic Party that they registered the domain name “txdemocrats.com” and point it to “texasgop.org” They did this because the Texas Democratic Party website is “txdemocrats.org”. The Texas Repugnant Party registered “txdemocrats.com” in 2002 and has pointed it to the Texas Republican Party website for the last six years.

This has been brought to public attention in the past and the Texas Republican Party continues to hijack txdemocrats.com – which proves that Texas Republicans have no shame and are deserving of the name, “Repugnant Party.”

Contact the Texas Republican Party and tell them they are cowards, liars, and cheats who consistently use propaganda and lies because they know they can’t win an election honestly on the issues.

Obama - The foul fingered thug

turtlecreekdemocrats — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 00:18:05 -0500

I guess this simply demonstrates that Barack really is Dick Cheney’s cousin. Remember when Dick Cheney told Senator Leahy, “Go F*ck yourself!”, on the floor of the U. S. Senate?

Just makes you wonder which of his supporters Barack is going to shoot in the face.

After this, there’s no doubt left that Barack doesn’t have what it takes to be president – except among Barack’s Republican supporters who were proud to see George W. Bush flip off the press from his campaign bus.
