This GOP rallying cry hides a certain facetiousness:  we have been and 
already are.

The US produces more than 90% of the petroleum products it consumes and 
imports about 3M barrels per day of refined petroleum products.  
Furthermore, we export almost 2M barrels a day of oil, almost all of it 
in the form of refined products.

We import more oil from non-OPEC countries than OPEC countries and that 
has been true since the 1990s and was true through much of the 1980s.

Funny thing, reality.
