N.H. will accept free oil from Chavez after all

Two years ago, New Hampshire refused to accept heating oil aid from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the pro-Castro U.S. critic who once called President Bush "the devil." But with fuel prices rising, well, ...

I'll answer, because he was the only one who would provide it. Many people and companies were approached and asked to contribute, only one stepped up. Our own government will not provide this oil or assistance to it's own people, so it's left to the tyrant. It's easy for you to pontificate about Chavez and Citgo, not so easy for you or our government to step up and help those in need...
Hmmm, people freeze to death or receive oil from someone our government has determined is a dictator and has committed human rights abuses. Speaking of human rights, perhaps we should stop buying oil from saudi arabia, iran & russia too.

The defenders of Chaviz the Burro will lick his butt because he gave it free! Mira you dummies, Chavez does it to make the U.S. look bad. What the hell is he going to do when Obama gets into the White House? We he call him a devil too? Chavez does not do anything for free and there are strings attached...like making our national government look bad. I can see him saying on 'Ola President...See how the U.S. Government and El Dablio treat their own? I saved the "poor" and gave free oil to NH! We are Brothers in arms to save the poor..now I got to convince the other 49 states and 4 territories! Viva ME, the greatest since Simon Bolivar!

What "liberal state"?

NH is one of the most consistently conservative states in the nation.

You've never heard of the Manchester Union Leader newspaper? You've never checked NH voting records?

Are you at all familiar with the voting habits of the Granite State?

You're greatly mistaken. Regardless what you've called the President is not the issue, the issue is he (Chavez) called our president that, on our soil, under our flag. Don't you have any loyalty pertaining to our leaders? Regardless of where you are on the political fence, you should have some type of patriotic feelings to the person who leads our country. As for Chavez saying degrading things about Americans, well, simply he did back in 2003 to the BBC. I'm sure you've never heard it because it's not going to get the press it deserves due to the liberal press. Chavez, nor his country, has "pimped" out anything for us. They sell oil, and it's not charity. We buy it. Also, his, or your definition, or so-called "constitution" comes with a lot of benefits right? LOL- please, he's stopped elections, and candidates against him, he's halted all protest, ceased, and dismantled editorial organizations against his government. The list goes on, but for some reason, you think this guy is the second-coming? Finally, as far as his oil is concerned, you're right, he does have a lot of it, and we BUY IT! The issue is that we DO HAVE oil reserves that are akin to Saudi Arabia, however, we're hindered from getting it due to the environmentalists. I don't think you really thought through your argument. It lacks all form of structure and viability'(s). Thus, here's a task, and see if you can comprehend the means.
Answer me this: name one reason Americans should get free oil from Chavez?
He didn't call anybody anything on "our soil".

If you are referring to the UN in NY, that is considered "international territory", just like when you are on an international border crossing or clearing Customs from an international flight.

Not "our soil".

That quote was made at the UN, and in Harlem. Semantics is a weak argument.
The UN is protected, international territory. It is not US soil.

Try using your US rights in a Customs zone at LAX.

I laughed like crazy when Chavez called Bush the devil--he was showboating, just like Bush does. Let's compare Bush to Chavez and see who is most diabolical. Has Chavez lied to his people to start needless wars? Has Bush? Who has more innocent blood on his hands? Who has seen his wealthy country turn into a debtor nation? Who flouts his country's constitution? Whose country is bleeding cash to pay for imported petroleum? Who overwhelmingly won both presidential elections, with no monkey business? Anyway, Chavez has plenty of faults, too, but I'd take him over Bush, who is going to leave America bleeding from every orifice.

Again, you fail to understand that he said it at a Harlem church as well. Regardless if he said it in the UN, I think we all know it's not (the UN) American soil, that's not up for debate, it's the simple fact that he said it.
So what? Baby Bush speaks of the "axis of evil", blah, b;ah, blah....

Are you really that sensitive to a foreign politician's similar B.S.?

Any time you buy Citco gas (7-11) you're supporting this dictator. He's called our President a devil, our country, lazy, fat, and ignorant. He's giving money to Syrian terrorists, and, to top it off, he's now suspended elections in his country, and is murdering rebels children, and women. WAY TO GO New Hampshire. While the rest of America ride this bubble out, you sell out. Here's you 50 pieces of Silver New Hampshire.

This always cracks me up, and also makes me kinda sad at the same time. "Why should Americans get free oil from Chaves"...Well because they're cold! They're going with out other basic needs to pay for heating oil, they're watching their debt increase, and just generally viewing their quality of life go down in order to pay for fuel cost. But the really sick thing is all these people crying out against them taking this fuel, don't seem to give a rats ass about their fellow Americans, or that are struggling. All they care about is making their little political statement. Having trouble paying your heating bill? Too bad I want to thumb my nose at some political figure who I think insulted me. Well call the whaambulance people have been offended. That's right some people take more offense to what some idiot foreign leader says, than to the actual living standards of their fellow Americans. D-Bags! Grow up and start caring more about people than your politics. Is Chaves using these people to make a political statement also? Most surly he is, but so are all of you who a decrying the decision to take the oil. The only sad difference is that at least Chaves use of them actually improves their lives, well yours is making them more difficult. Pathetic!

And so...

Your lack of education and logic are an embarrassment to your school system. You stupidly attack me w/o reason. Chavez, in spite of his numerous faults, shares his nation's wealth with his people, while Bush shares our nation's wealth with the super rich, who have robbed us blind--note banking crises. Yet you defend Bush blindly. Wait until you lose your job, your truck and your home, as you most likely will because of your ignorance; then think of the type of leader you'd like to have.
