So much for, of the people, By the people,and the pursuit of happiness. apparently,this phrase doesn't apply to the american public anymore.It's more like, do unto other's , before they go broke,after paying for a war that's not doing much good in America.

It's all another way for the rich to keep getting richer by stealing more from the poor. As more and more people are unable to afford basically getting by they'll have to pay for gas to get to work instead of things like mortgages, then the rich will buy up foreclosed properties and business.

By the way Alaska whiner, perhaps that half-billion dollar bridge to nowhere sought by your corrupt republican senator could be added to your state's oil revenues to help defray the cost of getting that gas up to you.

I'm glad to know we've been fighting so hard so that the good people of Iraq can "own" their country's oil resources. What about our own oil resources? It's become more important for our economy to control these resources rich. It's time we nationalized our own resources and started forcing the price of gas down worldwide instead of causing it to go up in wars of agression against innicent people. Iraq never attacked us. NEVER. How long will Bush's War go on? Long enough to get gas to $5 a gallon in the US and for Cheney's Halliburton stock portfolion to grow to absurd portions.

Evidently lies, phony foreign policy, and no energy policy that holds producers responsible is the way to go. Bush isn't smart enough to make this stuff up on his own. Too bad his little rat who helped lose Iraq and whose reward was to head the World Bank Wolfowitz got caught with his thingy illegally pumping up his girlfriend's salary and had to step down. The Demos didn't lose Iraq but the argument can certainly be made that Wolfowitz, Bush and Rumsfeld did.

With record gas prices come record profits for the oil companies.
It's exactly what the dirty democrats and the rotten republicans want!

what we need to do is to create a gas war between the major companies. I say start a nationwide boycott against Exxon-Mobil.

AMERICA IS OVER FOLKS, ITS ALL WASHED UP, THANKS TO THE CORRUPT REPUBLICANS WHO NOW HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE !!!! JUST WAIT TILL OUR TROOPS CAME HOME AND SEE WHATS HAPPENED AND WHAT WE LET HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIGHTING FOR THIS COUNTRY !!!!! ITS TIME FOR THE REVOLUTION,,,, TO BEGIN,, LET THE HANGINGS ,, BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!

When Bush came into office in 2000 gas was about $1.65 a gallon. And, look where it is now!!! WHY!!! Bush and Chaney have let the oil companies know that they can raise the price of gas as high as they want and we will pay it. Bush & Company do not care about the American people. They do not have to pay for the gas for their vehicles as the taxpayers are. It is about time to start taxing the profits of the oil companies and also find out the REAL reason oil refineries are off line. I bet it isn't for the reason the oil companies say it is.

Oh, and I saw gas go up 20 cents a gallon just over night here in S.C. Why??????

Hey Americans, Are you REALLY MAD about this issue? HOW MAD ARE YOU, REALLY??

If you want to turn the oil companies on their ear, CARPOOL! TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION! Two people sharing a ride to work cuts gas usage by FIFTY PERCENT! A fully loaded bus or commuter train replaces FORTY CARS!

All through my life I have seen that when Americans band together to fight a common problem, Hurricanes, Tornado damage, Drought..Do you all remember the big Haylift a few years ago when northern farmers drove thousands of bales of hay southward to help out farmers in the south
during the drought?

You Webpage designers, could you organize a carpool/shopping site foryour community?

When the people of this country have seen a need and have become truly
involved in a problem miracles have happened!
We could bring the thieving oil companies to their knees! We've just got to get MAD ENOUGH TO ORGANIZE! WE DON'T NEED GOVERNMENT TO DO IT, LET'S DO IT OURSELVES!!

That is, if you're REALLY as frustrated as you say. Anarchy anyone?

Please send some your $3.18 gasoline to Western Alaska. We've been paying $4.70 per gallon since last fall, and are frankly getting a little tired of listening to your whining about it.
As long as you keep paying the amount the oil companies ask, they will continue to raise prices until you refuse to pay it. If you really don't want to pay over $3 for gasoline, stop buying it, and then the price will come down.
