No-go Citgo

Well, everyone’s talking about Citgo today. I personally haven’t bought Citgo in a year and a half. To be fair, I forgot at some point that Citgo was Chavez’ baby–I was thinking Middle East oil. Which is kinda funny, because there aren’t really ANY “safe” oil companies’ gas stations here where I live, but at least I’m not feeding the Venezuelan beast.
And hell yes, you’d better believe I’ve cut my gas consumption in the last few years–drastically. It helps that I don’t live in the D.C. area any more, but I’ve made a lot of changes so I don’t send as much money to international terrorists like Hugo Chavez and the filthy oil sheiks.

Sheesh.

FWIW, 7-Eleven is letting it’s contracts with Citgo expire next month… over 6000 points of retail distribution.
Other retailers are pulling away from them too.
There are only 3 refineries in the world that can process heavy Venezuelan crude. 2 are in Texas, 1 in Illinois.

Citgo is owned by the government of Venezuela, i.e. Hugo Chavez There’s enough other choices out there that you shouldn’t have to be passing all of your money to some asshat like him. Sure, buying gas in general supports a…

I’m happy to see there are some conservatives who “get it.” Citgo is the biggest frauds of our lifetime. A Marxist dictator gets billions of dollars from Americans and spends it on America’s demise. What a concept. Read more at sadbastards.wordpress.com.
