Bite me!

Sound Bites. This is how the news gets reported today, probably because we have such short attention spans. (are you still reading this? OK, just checking.) The attention span for a news story is less than 2 minutes.

Democrats, when asked about domestic drilling, drop these two bombs:

1. How can you say we need to drill? Did you know we are exporting record amounts of oil? Don't believe me? Look it up in the CIA handbook on the United States!

2. How can you say we need to free up land for the oil companies? They already have leases on 68 million acres that they are just sitting on. Don't believe me? Look it up in the Federal Record!

Both statements are true! But, as usual for democrats, only partial and misleading. What is amazing is that I can find out the rest of the story pretty easily on the net and yet you don't hear it in the media. No one rips into the democrats when they spout this partial and misleading tripe.

Here is a good explanation of the oil exchange between countries.

Here is a good explanation of why the land the oil companies have leases on is really useless.

It is easy to find crap and spin it into sound bites. Partial truths, non-truths delivered sincerely and authoritatively, perhaps with a mockery of dismissal in your voice to let the other side know that you think they are just too stupid, too ignorant of the facts. Put them on the defensive. Make them have to explain things in more than 2 words.

DocBrain will give it a try.

How can you say Obama is different? He is deeply indebted to big oil! He has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from them. Check this link:
