BOYCOTT CITGO: Please read

Hey guys, need to fill your tank up with gasoline? Don't do it at Citgo. I've had it up to here with that neo-fascist Hugo Chavez and his socialist anti-Americanism. If you are an American, left, right or middle, don't buy gasoline from the Citgo, a Venezuelan state ownedoil and gas company. Thats right, owned by the very man who is calling the US the evil empire. Just today I read something that pissed me off enough to make this post.

In front of a rally of thousands of supporters, Chavez said this:

""if the 'yes' vote wins on Sunday and the Venezuelan oligarchy, playing the [U.S.] empire's game, comes with their little stories of fraud" -- then he would order oil shipments to the United States halted Monday."

Boycott Citgo, tell your friends and family not to support that psycho and his neo-socialist regime.

Thanks everyone.

i am going to have to say this will never work even if we stop going to citgo the only people you will hurt are the owners of citgo gas stations.

so sorry to say but all of these BOYCOTT gas threads and facebook groups are getting annoying its flawed logic if you want to do something productive talk to your senators.

Who cares about american this and that. Iam so sick of blind american patrotism. unrealylife

It's not just blind American patriotism, the man is running a repressive regime down there. Remember all those massive protests after he shut down several of the last non-state run media outlets? The people hate him. It seems to me like people portray him as the good guy because he is standing up to Bush. I don't like Bush very much at all and I'm not a blind patriot but Hugo Chavez is a dirtbag.

He recently gave extremely cheap oil to poor people, ultimately helping out hundreds. He's terrible, just terrible.DisturbedChild7

Dude, i've known about citgo for years (the funny thing is that my brother in law, the ultraconservative communist-hater, pumps his gas at citgo, heh, but i digress). I never get my gas at citgo for that very reason. I also never get my gas at exxon-mobil for related reasons.

What you should really list here, are gas stations that DON'T buy their oil from middle eastern sheiks, whose profits are funneled at least in part to fund terrorist activities and wahhabist militants. I think that the only gas company that fits this bill is sunoco (according to my brother) but i haven't fact checked this.

I couldn't care less.darksword1123

Will you feel better if you use Saudi Arbian/middle eastern gas?...jointed

I'd feel better if we started utilizing alternative energy sources and becoming self-sufficient.

I do. :)

Boycotting Citgo wont do anything. It's a shame that a moron like Chavez can be such a pain in our ass, but I blame our president for that.

If you arent buying his oil, then you are buying Saudi oil and they were in on 911. American propaganda would rather have you buy gas from a country with ties to Al Qaeda, then buy gas from a guy who opens his mouth to much.

Figure out better ways to protest Chavez.

Well, this is the only way that we're going to stop funding our enemies. I just love how certain interest groups in our country refuse to take us down this path and instead funnel us into this vicious cycle of consuming middle eastern oil. Traitors all of them, traitors.

I completely agree. If we really want to win "The War on Terrorism" we need to find an alternative energy source that will bring us as close as possible to being self-sufficient. We also just engaged in a multi-billion dollar arms agreement with Saudi Arabia. Sweet.

I dont like Chavez either. HE opens his mouth to much. In the global scheme of things, he is trying to help his people. They love him. He just has no tact with the rest of the world. He's a loud mouthed, harmless fool that his people love. I wish we had a president that was respected enough and not a bigger buffoon, who could tell Chavez to "shut up" like the King of Spain.

Then you could as well boycot all gas from Saudi-Arabia, that country is much worse. Oh, but wait, the Saudi's are America's big buddies while Venezuela is a socialist counrty and you Americans are socialistfobic while you don't even know what socialisme is.mini-mario

What we need is a president who can pet this guy on his head while he's crying. "Now, now Chavez it'll be ok". When he falls asleep with his bottle, we take his oil at a discount and run. Instead we have: "He's an evildoer and he's trying to put food on the Venezuelan families."

I cant blaim countries mouthing off to us at the moment, because our public image team (current administration) is worse that Larsen at CNET. They make horrible economic decisions and our stock is sinking faster than CNET since 2005.

Our dollar is in shambles. The rest of the world wants it, they are going gangbusters over it. Check out Russia, check out Brazil. People are currently profiting off of our losses. Trust me, the world welcomes this. We need a better PR department.

Hey, there are Americans that are considerate enough to understand that not the entire world is a bunch of "blame the US, because me and my girlfriendare having problems", you could be considerate enough to understand we arent all stupid.

OK, first off, you call Chavez both a fascist AND a socialist. That's just stupid.

Also, what's wrong with Chavez? He's done more for his country than Bush could ever hope to do for the USA.

Just because Chavez doesn't bow down to the might of the US and give into what they want (oil), doesn't make Chavez a bad man. Being Anti-American comes with the right to free speech sometimes, does it not? Or down the line have you lost the core values of what your country is meant to be about?

Your sources are also a joke. Any use of the American media as a source loses all credibility instantly, liberal or conservative.

How about you do some real research first like watching "The War On Democracy".

Chavez has people in such brutal repression in Venezuala, although he can afford to make a stand against the most powerful presence on the globe. meanwhile, you're concerned that this countries lack of support for your interests as an American will bankrupt your state, and basically make living untenable due to financial weight. wake up, dude.

You really don't know the situation in Venezuela at all. Chavez has improved conditions in Venezuela. Just look at the HDI.

Anyone who understands the fundamentals of economics knows this is bull...B05T0N

I admire that Chavez wants to stand up to being pressured into doing things that are not necessarily in the best interests of his country.
