PICKENS, PELOSI AND PROFITS

Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

Isn’t it amazing to watch the left wing media’s endless barrage of stories pointed at big business and big oil? Obama would take the profits from these demonized entities and redistribute them either to bribe his would be constituents to vote for him or to fill the government’s coffers to fund his socialist agenda. So many have been brainwashed into believing all corporate America is evil.

I have yet to see the main-stream media report how a couple other big investors have manipulated government policies to enrich themselves. Those two, Al Gore with his global warming snake oil fix called carbon credits and Nancy Pelosi, who has invested in T. Boone Pickens’ alternative energy program. Ms. Pelosi stands to make huge profits if the ballot initiative, California's Proposition 10 known as the California Renewable Energy and Clean Alternative Fuel Act passes;

“The ballot initiative is California's Proposition 10, known as the California Renewable Energy and Clean Alternative Fuel Act, which would spend $5 billion in California bond money – $10 billion by the time the interest is paid, according to the L.A. Times – to promote natural gas as a cleaner alternative for automobile and truck fuel.

Not surprisingly, the nation's largest provider of natural gas for transportation, Clean Energy Fuels Corporation, or CLNE, has a great deal to gain from the adoption of Pickens' fuel strategy and the passage of Proposition 10. In fact, according to the California Secretary of State website, CLNE has contributed $3,247,250 to supporting Proposition 10's passage.

CLNE, however, was formerly known as Pickens Fuel after its primary investor, T. Boone Pickens.

According to the investigation, Pelosi purchased $50,000-$100,000 in CLNE stock on May 25, 2007, apparently on its initial public offering.
Now the House speaker stands to make a large profit on her reported 22,000 shares of CLNE if she and other public figures can persuade the people of California to vote for Proposition 10 in the name of renewable energy and clean, alternative fuels…..
….Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress and her wealth comes primarily from investments, real estate and "now, of course, stocks in CLNE."”- http://www.worldnetdaily.com

Isn’t Nancy Pelosi the same speaker of the house who recently sent the house members home on a five week vacation before there could be a vote to lift the ban on off-shore drilling? What would the main-stream media say if Dick Cheney was the one to do this?

So, Nancy Pelosi gets in bed with big oil guy Pickens, pushes legislation to help him and her investments and blocks votes that would harm those same investments and not one word in the main-stream media about it. Where is the outrage? Kool-aid drinking lefties save that for the fictitious underworld of Bush-Cheney, Halliburton and Big oil.

some more good stuff;

Should we call them gulags or Gitmos?
