Want Cheaper gas? DUMP THE DEMOCRATS.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS

There is a reason for the energy crunch and it sure ain't Bush!

There is a reason we have not built new nuclear power plants in the last 35 years, and it sure ain't Bush!

There is a reason we have not built new refineries to make gas in the last 35 years and it sure ain't Bush!!

It's called the Democratic parties constant obstruction of anything that might help the countries energy crunch.

Liberal greenpeaces more worries about a spotted owl than Americans.

Liberal save the earth while people starve.

All of Americas ills can be placed at the feet of liberals and there silly "we know whats best" attitude.

Bill Kristol said something great last night on "Colbert Report":
The best thing for the Republican party would be for the Democrats to take the House this fall. Two years of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Dem House Ways and Means committee chair, a lefty Judiciary Committee chair... then people would get to see, in two short years, the Democratic Party's unfitness to lead this country.

I saw a snippet of that yesterday, I am afraid the dems will win the house but it will be the best thing to happen to the right if they do.

I find it quite remarkable that

Exxon and Chevron are ALL reporting record earnings. I believe I just heard on the Radio that Conoco-Phillips said the samething regarding 4-th quarter earnings. Just irks me.

I do not like being gouged either, but capitalism is what makes this country great.

I'm totally for capitalism MM. But I guess greed is just too powerful. The nice thing for me is I only live 4.5 miles from my work. It only takes 3-5 minutes longer riding a bicycle than driving. I feel like I may resort more to my fiance's county's lifestyle. Drive only when neccessary. Hmmm I wonder if I have enough room in my backyard for a horse?

here is a fact the politicians seem to ignore, the oil companies make around 9 cents a gallon selling gas, there is 42 cents in taxes on that same gallon that is between state and federal taxes.

Well, than maybe you can tell me. Are the constant price fluctuations due to gov't taxes or cost of oil?

Just heard that FTC is going to look into whether this is taking place. So I guess we will have to sit back and let our gov't do their job?

It's ironic, Cuba and Mexico both drill in the Gulf of Mexico freely, with no eco-nazis screaming at them, but if the evil U.S. dares to drill there, then it has to come with a million regulations.

So how is it that the oil industry is only evil once it is Americans working to keep the pumps flowing?

The Oil companies do not set the price of oil.  The free market does.  Not even communist China can dictate what the price of a barrell will be, they can only influence the price at the pump through fees and taxes.

Okay I agree with you on speculation Doc. I just don't understand the volatile oh gas. This isn't a small market this is HUGE. Just to me seems to go against economic principles. I am just trying understand how we came to where we are. That's all.

Government taxes increase the price of a gallon of gas. They don't make it fluctuate, since the tax rates are set by legislation.

Of course I know that. Stephen Colbert spent the whole 4 minute interview mocking his neocon guest by agreeing with him on almost all points.

And I am a Republican, yet I cannot turn away... But it was a great statement, nevertheless. Truth spoken in jest is always funnier.

We Americans are spoiled when it comes to gasoline prices. We're so used to being "special" that we get all kinds of upset when things don't go our way. Everyone else in the world pays twice as much (if not more) than we do for gas, yet we scream the loudest when we start feel the pinch too.

Use less.

Better get used to it, too, because no matter which party holds power in America, China and India are now competing for the same resources. We love capitalism until it adversely affects us. Oil will go to the highest bidder, either we're willing to be the highest bidder, or we're going to have to learn to do without.

Fact of life, folks.

As long as the government is the biggest price gouger in the oil market, no one can complain about any gouging at all.

Do you all NOT realize that if we collectively decreased our consumption 20%, we'd have the oil companies over a barrel and the prices would drop sharply? Drop it 50%, and they'll be begging you to buy it.

It simply takes efforts on ALL of our parts. Ridesharing (to errands as well as to work), turning off the A/C, limiting trips in our cars, driving 55 mph, and keeping our cars tuned up (all the things they advised us in the 70's to "save the planet" are all things we can do to reduce consumption. But do we have the guts for it?

The only places I KNOW pay much more is Europe. I know in Central Asia it is lower.

Gideon you're right and it may come to that if prices keep going up. But you and I BOTH know that people value 'convenience' too much for that one to be viable. The price of fuel hasn't exceeded that value yet. Once it does it will reverse quickly.

Personally I havent' seen any reason to care if you were here or not. You don't post original articles, you just seem like a mindless sniper and a troll.

If the powers that be at JU deem you "Fit" that is their problem... and shame
