Put the Cuckoo Back into the Clock, Gov. Huckabee
Here are some scary quotes that I pulled from an article ($$) published last year in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette titled "Huckabee Lashes Out At Oil Firms Over Profits".
Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday night lambasted the profit levels of oil companies, saying they "are stealing from absolutely the poorest people."
"There's no excuse, there's no reason that they [oil companies] should be profiting at that level when everyone else is suffering the consequences."
Market forces are one thing, he said. But "there's a point at which you cannot continue to just gouge people because you can, because they don't have an option. That's not a market. That's an immoral force."
Let's compare Huckabee's comments to those made by people who appear to think similarly:
"Prices have doubled, profits have tripled, and oil companies already are making historic, obscene and record profits." -- Nancy Pelosi
"If we don't fight Big Oil, this country's going down." -- Hillary Clinton
Our citizens are paying more than $3 at the gas pump, while oil companies laugh all the way to the bank to deposit their record profits. Our opponents say we can't stop the big oil companies from gouging the American people. But we say, why not. -- Ted Kennedy
"It is a travesty that oil companies should be making such staggering profits on the backs of Americans trying to fill their gas tanks." - Harry Reid
Birds of a feather...
