Maxine Waters’ freudian slip on nationalizing oil companies

Posted 23 May 2008 in Democrats, energy, oil and gas, socialism


Here’s the video showing what happened yesterday in a Senate and House Judiciary Committee meeting. Congresswoman Maxine Waters displayed not only her utter ignorance about supply and demand, but made a very revealing verbal gaffe: (h/t: Hot Air)

“And guess what this liberal will be all about? This liberal will be all about socializing…. uh, umm… will be about… basically… taking over… and the government running all of your companies.”

1:10 into the clip, Ms. Waters accidentally says what the far left of her party believe, that the government has the right to seize control of private industry. If Democrats truly were interested in reducing the price of gasoline, they’d allow the oil companies to drill in ANWR and off our gulf coast to increase the output of oil and gas and improve our energy independence. But liberal extremists don’t really want that. They’d rather use the American citizens’ plight to demagogue their way to more power and bigger government.
