Now this is funny! This idiot is talking about us DEMs putting a dimwit in the Whitehouse. Who is more of a dimwit the "W" and just look at the last 8 years. Sir, you are a fool and should be on here apologizing and begging for forgiveness for helping the most, incompetent, corrupt administration in history come to power. You neocons are absolutely retarded. Have you got the slighest bit of brain?

[thgdriver]

Tired of spending $4.00 a gallon for gas? Thats funny because when gasoline was $2.10 a gallon in 2006 the Dimwitocrats were touting how that was outrageous and if elected to office they would fix it. LOL. They sure fixed it alright. Almost two years and they made it far worse! I can still hear Nancy Pelosi saying how great every thing would be once they controlled Congress.

Now you Dimwitocrats can put a Dimwit in the white House--$6.00 a gallon can not be far behind that! LMFAO!!

They don''''t use gas, and their "emissions" can fertilize the garden.

I''d have to move a LOT closer to work! :)

From everything I just read, refineries are running at near full utilization. Not everything works 100% of the time, so full utilization is not possible.

The last new refinery was built in 1976 (the result of extremely tight environmental restrictions, not-in-my-back-yard community opposition, and the high cost of new construction.)

If the losers in CA have to pay $22.00/gal that''''s fine by me.

Unfortunately, what affects CA will have an effect on the rest of the country...Hey! I''m all for getting a horse...They don''t use gas, and their "emissions" can fertilize the garden.

Google around.

I did. Some left coast refineries are curtailing due to gloooooobal warrrrrrming issues. As far as I''m concerned, they deserve everything they get.

And the Republican controled Washington from 2000 - 2006 did what to address this problem?
Posted by skyhawk761 at 10:09 AM : May 20, 2008

And the democrat controlled congress since 2006 has done what to solve ANY problem?

[skyhawk761]

Are you really tired of paying $4.00/gal? Thank an environmentalist democrat. No drilling, no nuke plants, no new refineries.

But the caribou are loving life! :)

Oil prices will never come down so long as there is war happening in the middle east.
If congress wants to lower gas prices stop funding W''s war! Oil prices will come down and we can stop borrowing money from China to pay for it and that will result in higher dollar value and again lower the cost of gas again.

[libh8er]

In addition, existing refineries are not operating at 100% either.

How do you know?

"Congress keeps ... going from Band-Aid to Band-Aid that they think will have an impact but really won''t," Stanzel said.

Which is actually very true. It''s really sad to see so many US politicians who have no idea what to do or how we got here.

There are thousands of oil wells in this country that were not productive at $25/barrel that would be highly productive at $60/barrel, yet big oil and our do-nothing president let these wells sit idle while we pay the Saudis, the biggest financial supporters of terror in the world (besides us), charge us out the nose.

Meanwhile the tree and animal-haters can only think of drilling absurdly expensive well sites in Arctic nature preserves.

Supposedly we are sitting on 2-trillion barrels of oil shale reserves with no real effort to exploit that either with 2/3 of being on federal land.

It''s not a free market economy it''s totally manipulated and I pukeup everytime I hear one of these jackals discuss how the free market determines the price of oil.

Instead of the president going over and kissing Saudis feet he should have been threatening them with shock and awe since their favorite son Osama Bin Bush has made a laughing stock of us.

[walt1944-2009]

The Great Emperor Bush signed a bill "temporarily" stopping oil from goinmg into the government''s oil reserves.

Given the distinctly "chilly" reception that the Great Emperor got from the Arabs on his recent trip, the Great Emperor is concerned that without the oil going into the reserves, the government won''t have the oil to keep its war machine going in the Middle East.

Of course, it gives the Great Emperor Bush as well as VP Darth Vader Cheney and "Bagdad John Bomber McBush" McCain, an excellent excuse to go into Iran and wage war there. Cheney would use the old argument that the captured Iranian oil would pay for the war in 5 years; just like it did in Iraq(!!!???). McCain would argue that we don''t talk to "terrrrrrorists", even when they are elected to that post by their own people!

Where have we heard all this before???

And, naturally, BIG OIL would continue to price gouge us all at the pump!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, DEFINITELY MORE OF THE SAME, McCain!!!!

rafterman1, its the dollar devaluation that has brought us $4 gas. And the dollar devaluation is good for it will bring the jobs back.

[skyhawk761]

demslie, you don''t bother to mention that the oil companies have closed numerous smaller refineries over the past few years for nothing other than to reduce output and to drive prices up. They have available land in which to build new refineries but have held out waiting for the tax payers to pick up the tab. Try taking off those rose colored glasses and see the real world for a change instead of the one Limpbaugh and Hannity tell you about.

and Bush has the jumbo band-aid: Iraq

[irliberal]

This is a bad idea but our wonderful President Bush will use this as a learning opportunity for liberals to find out how wrong they are.

Are you obtuse or just a troll?

[cattlekate]

"The stockpile, currently sufficient to cover two months of oil imports, is kept as a cushion in case of a major disruption of oil supplies."

Drudge is headlining the jpost article claiming Bush plans on attacking Iran before the end of a great American error, 1/20/09. Could this be why we need to fill the reserve?

are you waiting for the actual vote to be spoon fed to you in a talking point from rush, sean, or ann? if you can actually read .. here it is:

"In a bipartisan rebuke, the Senate last week voted 97-1 and the House 385-25 for the legislation, margins suggesting that a veto could be easily overridden."

demslie and yourself might be able to get a discount on the de-programming efforts if you go together.
