Most people were against it, but our leaders did it anyway... it was called The Revolutionary War.Freedom has never come to any nation without great people making decisions that were protested by small minded people

Reply By: danielostPosted: Thursday, November 08, 2007oil is high. our ability to make gas has been maxed out for over a year. so demand is higher than the supply of gas. The Fed says there is no current gasoline supply problem. This is not a time of high travel.
I have just read Curveball by Bob Drogin. For anyone who still believes we were in danger from Saddam and were justified to invade Iraq, please read this book. This book tells how the environment created by George W. Bush allowed one low level Iraqi engineer to weave a fairy tale that as David Kay told Bush, “The United States has gone to wa
Reply By: danielostPosted: Thursday, November 08, 2007You failed to explain that if it is supply and demand that sets the price in the oil business then the high level of supply would be driving DOWN prices not sending them to all time highs. the only problem is the demand is also high. and the higher the demand the higher the pr
Reply By: Island DogPosted: Thursday, November 08, 2007Companies exist to maximize profits. Profits are what keep workers employed. They keep companies innovating, creating new products and services. They keep the economy humming and the country strong. And they allow you and I to invest and secure our financial future.Something
Markets determine the price of oil. It's supply and demand that sets the price at the pump. That is a LIE. The current supplies of gas are high relative to demand but the price of gas is at an all time high! Oil companies can set prices apart from supply and they also can control supplies and create ar
Reply By: danielostPosted: Thursday, November 08, 2007As usual, it all comes back to increasing taxes on people who make more money than him. Go ahead gene, increase taxes on "oil" and let us know how that works out.what he is too stupid to know is that the oil companies would just pass those taxes on to us and him. </TA
Oil company tax credits Topping the list for repeal are: Tax breaks for refinery expansion and for geological studies to help oil exploration. The size of Oil Company profits is such they do not need tax brakes for refinery expansion or other forms of energy. By the way what new refineries has big o
Reply By: danielostPosted: Thursday, November 08, 2007by the way tax credits in this case means that the government won't take away money that is already yours. How are tax credits to oil companies “taking away money that is yours”? This is money they are extracting from all of us and putting into the
wrong it is the same as what is in Iraq.you really need to start listening to more than one group of people.the north shore, that is where we are drilling was only estimated to have enough oil to last ten years. how long has it been. I could support drilling in ANWR so long as it was part of a compr
Reply By: Island DogPosted: Thursday, November 08, 2007you guys forgot to point out that the democrats have blocked off shore drilling and drilling in anwr, which was set aside for that reason. This is precisely the reason nobody take gene seriously. We have shown him countless times how democrats and other left wing groups have
Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007The issue has nothing with manipulating oil prices.Then why have you accused Bush & Cheney of that before? What I said is BIG OIL has manipulated supplies to impact prices and has increased retail prices more then to just cover increase crude oil prices
Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007Once again: What benefit could possibly accrue to the GOP by manipulating the price of oil upward leading up to an election? Either they have control of it or they don't - you need to admit that they don't. The issue has nothing with manipulating oil
Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007You've forgotten: It's all about oil. You've been saying so for years now. The GOP is now going to kill the golden goose? This just proves you wrong - they haven't been manipulating the price of oil at all; if they were doing so, do you really think they'd jack the price up as we

Reply By: lifehappensPosted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007The issue is that had Bush and the GOP took aggressive and effective action seven year ago we would be better able to deal with these higher prices and because OUR demand would be lower, the actual price could be lower.And what "aggressive and effective action" should they
Reply By: Island DogPosted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007Are you that dumb?I have to ask gene, are you twelve years old? I read your post, which by the way, isn't any different than the others you write. You complain that Bush and the GOP didn't do anything, but I show how democrats once again won't allow new, and more efficient
Democrats shot down today a Republican amendment to the energy bill intended to encourage new refineries and other alternatives for producing transportation fuels. The amendment, by James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, ranking Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, would allow states and Indian tribes to opt into a new
Reply By: Island DogPosted: Wednesday, November 07, 2007Bush doesn't control oil prices, and gas prices would most likely be the same if a democrat was President. Since you are obviously cheering for the democrats, why don't you tell us what they are going to do? Maybe find out why they are so opposed to drilling so we can at lea
Energy prices could be one of the most important issues in the 2008 election. Surveys of probable reaction to the continuing increase in both gasoline and heating oil prices clearly show that almost 40% said they would be forced to cur spending in other areas because of higher energy prices. Bush and the GOP have done NOTHING to deal with the e
Punish the rich and make them pay for everything. Real smart idea there gene.Once again you keep using this "we" term, but you aren't the one willing to pay for it. This is not about punishment. It is about paying for what we are spending and asking those who can afford it and who got the bi
sorry congress said it was. No they gave Bush the authority to invade Iraq as a last resort. Bush immediately invaded Iraq. 5 years later look where we are!
