And the highest gasoline prices were under the leadership of Carter.

Just another data point with which to bury Republicans next year.

Explain how the "Republicans" caused the increase in gasoline prices.

Why would gasoline prices be different today if a Democrat were in office?

Well I'm not worried about it. Pres. Hillary Obama will get it right
back down to a "buck forty-nine" in just six months, and will have
exec. reps on a rope just like a stringer fll of blue gills.


BTW, I'm selling off the Boulder dam tommorrow on ebay.. starting bid
just $1.00 with no reserve........

That's easy:

- The Iraq war

- Huge federal defecits

- Weak dollar

- Poor energy policies

- Huge trade imbalance

They are all intertwined with high energy prices in various ways.

Nobody will get the price down until we eliminate oil speculation by
investors who have absolutely no connection with the oil business.

AMEN! That's exactly what makes a $20 barrel of crude "worth" $90.

Remind me again who has control of Congress.



At the moment, no one. The Dems do not yet have a working majority.

Nice try but no cigar for you.



I don't smoke, but my statement is correct. If the Dems had "control" of
Congress, they would have the votes within their party to override a
presidential veto. That's what control means when the other party
controls the white house.
