When gas hit it's highest point the Republicans called him the worst president ever like the bunch of one-seded whiny pussy punks that they STILL ARE.
Under Bush they think we should accept it and even like it, even though EVERYTHING is in a far far worse situation under und fuhurer Bush
We never asked them to just accept anything except competence from the Democrats, heck they even bitch whine and moan over the Democrats competence.
it defies logic
Hey one-sided right wingers, here read all this then get back to whining about obama and clinton http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_evelyn_p_060427_big_mouth_bush_told_.htm

and what is the Democrat's plan? Raise taxes on gas? How will that lower one price?

Demand will go down and the price will go down, too. Of course, when it does, we'll all start using it again and the problem will return. Libs don't seem to realize that solving a problem by raising taxes is a temporary cure at best. But in the meantime, they get more tax money! That's all they see.

Why didn't Bush and his Republican friends in congress lower the gas tax during the six years they had before the Dems got control of congress? Who was one of the biggest supporters of the current federal gas tax? Yup, Bob Dole, a Republican and former candidate for president. You Repugs sure don't like to let facts enter your little warped reality.

Just let me know when your Republican friends are going to start pupming some of that oil out of Iraq they promised would cover the cost of the war in ...........................................................2003.
Forget it. Let's just hope Cheney will save things by having more secret meetingts with the oil executives. That worked really well. I guess they are still working the kinks out.
Maybe Cheney can save us with all the money he has made from his war and oil services company Haliburton. I know Jim. His money is in a trust he doesn't control. But when Haliburton's stock goes from 2 to 80 dollars those stock options he doesn't control get mighty valuable. I wonder how they keep getting those billion dollar contracts when almost every report on thier work from the Army says it is crap.
Amazing isn't it. the whole economy is going down the crapper. Even GE said this week they are hurting.
So the only 2 industries making boatloads of cash are the 2 that the President and Vice President are involved in. Crazy. The longer this war goes on the more money they make.
Such stand up guys.

GOVERNMENTS DON'T HELP LOWER PRICES, SUPPLY AND DEMAND DOES!!!!! It's a economics matter. It's a matter of the oil spigot being controled by a few towelheads and weird beards in the middle east and other dictators in south america.
If we could drill for our own oil, the price would drop like a rock. But our friends, the democrats, won't allow it because it MIGHT hurt animals. The libs better make a choice, it's either we drill or we just take it. What do you choose.

I know they say that, but they have to know they're lying. A section of ANWR was set aside for the express purpose of drilling and there are no animals there to harm. The Dems know this and purposely show pictures of moose and squirrel frolicking around lakes and streams. That can't be an accident.

> GOVERNMENTS DON'T HELP LOWER PRICES, SUPPLY AND DEMAND DOES!!!!! It's a > economics matter. Right so far, it is all supply chain economics. Any choking of the supply leads to higher prices,which leads to more profits. One of the biggest bottlenecks are the refineries. Why haven't there been any more built - why would an oil company that profits from an artificial bottleneck want to remove that bottle neck and give up it's profitability?
The USA controls Iraq's oil fields so where is that oil? We have CUT production in Iraq! Why? Because they have the second largest oil deposits in the world, if we started pumping it would hurt the oil companies profitability and since they own the republican party, republicans will do anything to keep the oil companies profitable.
It's a matter of the oil spigot being controled by a few
> towelheads and weird beards in the middle east and other dictators in > south america. AMERICA controls the spigots in Iraq!
In Venezuela the oil wells are nationalized - so they have cut out american oil companies - that is the ONLY reason Chavez keeps getting bad-mouthed by the republicans!

If the money spent in Iraq, had been spent on solar power instead, all houses in the USA would be solarized, thus cutting the consumption of oil!

This "We did it for oil" bullshit again? Do you libs ever get tired of that lie? Iraq controls those fields. They should repay us with oil for the blood and treasure we have lost defending them.

Why do you bring up stuff that even Fox News finds too dishonest to report?
I don;t think that Bush did it for oil. He did it for lack of oil. His invasion has cut off Iraqi oil from the market and destabilized the region. Every time that the price of oil starts to go down, Bush rachets up tensions with Iran and Venezuella. His actions are having the affect that he intends. He isn't nearly as stupid as he looks. Unfortunately for the Republicans, neither are most Americans.

Big business is more like a dictatorship or a kingship than a democracy. A king has his aristocrats (board of directors) that he has to deal with, but the peasants don't count for squat, unless the king decides to throw them some soppy little pittance to placate their yammering. Same in a dictatorship like China.
Do you want the freedom and messiness of democracy or the tidiness of a dictatorship at the cost of freedom?

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > If we ran the country more like wal-mart, we would be much better off. Simple fact American corporations only worry about THIS QUARTERS numbers. If they lay off 10,000 people and it make the numbers look better for the quarter, all the board members get a big bonus. But now the company looses more business, their number look worse, they layoff another 20,000 peoples and the number look good again, all the board members get big bonuses. But now because they have laid off all of their engineers, they have no future. All they can do now it outsource everything and the American corporation is now hiring all foreigner - except of course the board members....
If the country was run like Wal-Mart, no one would have health insurance or retirement benefits and the majority of jobs would be in China. You righties really hate America don't you!

It was you democrats that gave us McCain. With all the primaries early that allowed dems to vote for republicans, enough libs helped out the moderates to give us the worst choice for president in decades.
saddly the best case is for obama to win. In two years it would be a republican victory during the mid=terms, then obama would lose in 2012. I just hope the damage that f.cking idiot would cause isn't that great.

The regulations, programs and policies that conservatives push benefit only those who already have wealth and power.
The mantra: "we want government off your backs..." is NOT what it seems---it's a veiled attempt at stopping the use of money and power to practice racism, homophobia, and greed---legally (by getting rid of the laws that prevent discrimination, segregation, and unlimited accumulation of wealth)
OTOH, the "redistribution" of weath from the "top" down allows a greater benefit to ALL in any society---and that has historically been to our benefit.
You can see the evidence of amassing wealth to fewer and fewer people by the european model of concentration of wealth and it's consequences over the centuries----AND---you can pick up most any AMerican Hitory book and read the disastrous results of that kind of economics at the turn of the 20th century and the horrible problems caused by Reganomics and Bushnomics we have today.

Clinton did.
One of the hallmarks of the Clinton era was the abandonment of some programs to offsent the spending caused by others.
Clinton had NO votes from the GOP.

YOUR problem is that: a) you listen to, and believe propaganda from your politcal ideologues, b) you have'nt shown ANY ability to absorb PUBLIC record and make rational assesments of what you hear or read.
>> OTOH, the "redistribution" of weath from the "top" down >> allows a greater benefit to ALL in any society---and >> that has historically been to our benefit. > >Those who don't "have", always want to take from those who "have". That, >however, doesn't make it right. Yes it does. It's not only "biblically" justifiable, but the history of Society and civilizations have provided a dismal record of what happens when wealth does NOT get "redistributed".

AMMAN (AP) -- Thirty-five international oil companies have qualified to bid for future oil and gas contracts to develop one of the world's largest oil fields, an Iraqi oil ministry statement said Sunday.
"The total number of the companies and consortia that participated in the prequalification process was 120 from various nationalities," said the ministry's petroleum contracts and licensing office.
The office listed 35 companies that it said were qualified. They include, among others, BP PLC, Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Lukoil Holdings, China National Petroleum Corp., Edison International SpA and Eni SpA.
The contracts office, however, said it would continue updating the process of qualifying companies "especially those that didn't pass (the qualification process) by updating their information with the view to allowing as many as possible of the IOCs to participate in the next licensing round."

In 1995 Blill Clinton vetoed oil exploration in ANWR, sneering that it wouldn't do any good because the oil wouldn't start flowing for 10 years.
1995 + 10 years = 2005, just when prices started going through the roof. Thanks, Legacy-Boy. -- The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones.
