Since Hugo Chavez thinks America is evil, maybe we ought to stop sending him
our evil petrodollars by not buying Citgo? Citgo is the primary outlet for
Venezuelan oil in the U.S.

So, instead of importing their oil across a short distance, we'll import
more from further away?

The decrease in transportation efficiency would lead to slightly higher
prices and would otherwise not bother the Venezuelans at all.

Oil is 100% fungible. If you're using it, you're supporting Chavez, no
matter where you buy your gas.

If you want to hurt Chavez, reduce your energy consumption (insulate your
house, car-pool, etc) and get others to do so.

You will:

Save money and reduce our trade deficit
Cut funds to terrorists.
Hurt Chavez' popularity and influence
Help keep the planet clean.

All worthy goals.
