This idea is even more ignorant that the gas tax holiday. Its just plain, old dumb.
What, exactly, can we tell to, or do to OPEC to influence it to increase oil production or otherwise lower prices? "Hey, you know, we can just stop buying it. Yah, that'll show'em!" "Just say NO!" Can you hear them laughing? I can.
What we really need is a big protest rally to "send them a message". That will teach'em!
How about this...We could say the same kind of crap lots of liberals like to say....."Blah, blah, blah and we aren't going to take it anymore!"
Hey, maybe we could put lots of tarrifs on OPEC oil so non-OPEC oil appears cheap by comparison! Yah, that will do it. We can raise the price of OPEC oil, only when it crosses US borders! That'll do it! Wait, didnt we try that in Iraq? Didnt work did it?
I know.....WE CAN THREATEN TO INVADE ALL OPEC NATIONS UNLESS THEY LOWER OIL PRICES!!!!!
Wait, sorry. We already tried that, didnt we?
Well, we could invade those OPEC nations and just take all the oil we want! Ooops! Forgive me. We tried that already, too.
But seriously, I really want to keep driving my Escalade on my 45 mile commute to work every day. Hillary and this idiot reporter must know how to "break the OPEC cartel".
You know what Hillary is really good at? She is really good at saying things that make ignorant people feel empowered, but that will never actually come true. But hey....dont blame her. Her job is to get elected.
