- "...The sad thing is that we have NOTHING to bargin with the arabs..."
Actually, we do. We are still the largest consumer market for energy in the world.
Time for price controls. We will pay a maximum of $x per barrel of oil regardless of what overvalued price that speculators drive it to. Take it or leave it. If you don''''t take it, you no longer have access to our market.

Sir or Ma''am, you are in a state of denial. You probably don''t know that China and India where people used to ride on the bicycle are now driving motor vehicles. The combined population of India and China are more then the combined population of USA and European Union.
Saudi Arabia is the most conservatice Sunni Wahhabi country in the world. Wahhabism is based on the concept of "Al Wala wal bara fillah (Love for the sake of god and hatred for the sake of god)". They are taught to hate non-muslims to please god.
King of that Wahhabi country visited India (A polytheist nation with millions of god) and China (An atheist nation) and made oil Business deal with them.
Contrary to that, Christians in our country can not stop involvement of religion into politics and will keep on supporting Holy Land Israel and God-chosen Non-Americans even if it results in the destruction of the United States. - Reply to this comment

Dems had oil at less than $9.00 a barrel in the 90''s
The lowest in history of using oil. They did it once before. Can do it again :) - Reply to this comment
- This is the old "frog in the slowly heated water" angle. Look for $5 regular before election day.
I bet Shrub and Darth are high-fiving while yelling, "Cha-CHING"!!!!

- Saudis are treating Americans the same way like Bush''s mother treated Katrina victims!
I hope you guys remember her statement for Katrina victims;"Those people were under-privilaged anyway". - Reply to this comment
- The sad thing is that we have NOTHING to bargin with the arabs. They do not need our food, and we have outsourced everything else. At one time we had weaponry to bargin with but now they can get that from many other sources. The fact is, they don''t need us for anything. Bush can kiss their azzes til his lips go numb and they won''t budge. It''s time for the US to go back to the drawing board and come up with some new plans. The old ways will no longer be successful. We absolutely must have some new leadership to take us in the direction we must now go. I don''t care who it is...America needs a real leader. We can overcome this if we have the right leadership and we ALL pull together...dems and reps alike. Instead of hating each other let''s focus that energy on solving the problems we face together. Please!

- Democrats Ask, Who Do You Trust to Lower Gas Prices?
By Susan Jones

April 27, 2006
(CNSNews.com) - Democrats say they have a "simple strategy" that will help them win the midterm elections. They plan to ask voters who they trust to lower prices at the pump.
In an email message to supporters on Wednesday, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee touted a Democratic plan to lower the price of gas immediately (and temporarily).
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) has proposed a 60-day "holiday" on the federal gasoline tax that supposedly would lower prices by nearly 20 cents a gallon. "It''s something we can do right now to ease the burden on middle-class families across America," the DSCC said.
DSCC Deputy Executive Director Anne Lewis said as far as she''s concerned, "There are only two groups of people who love high gas prices: Big Oil executives collecting record profits and the Republican senators who collect their campaign contributions."
Lewis then noted that four Republican senators (all running for re-election in November) have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from "Big Oil."
"Democrats have always been on the side of middle-class families struggling to get by. Republicans have always sided with big business and big profits," Lewis said. - Reply to this comment

In 2003 Rush Limbaugh claimed that invading Iraq and taking over their oil would lead to the cheapest gas prices ever and the end of the Democrats. I don''t remember the democrats claiming what you are claiming. I do remember the Republicans saying that war in the Middle East would bring down gas prices. Guess they were wrong. - Reply to this comment

- Saudi Arabia said no to oil output because the U.S. dollar wasn''''t worth much. True. But here is what the U.S. should do now to all these oil rich countries. You want our food we will sell it to you but at a Premium and I mean a PREMIUM!

Bravo! I agree. Tell them those Al Qaeda supporters that food and oil are a two way street. Oil doesn''t come our way, food doesn''t come your way. - Reply to this comment
- Really, people. Don''t travel this holiday weekend. Make the oil people sit there and wonder what they did wrong. Don''t be out there proving AAA right about more Americans than ever will travel this weekend. We can''t stop these thieves if we keep paying them off.

- It''''''''''''''''s highway robbery by Saudi Arabia that sells for $125/barrel what costs them $10 to produce. Where is the rage against the ROOT CAUSE?

Sadly this is the attitude of many, many who go to church and praise the lord.
The right wing has been calling this process the "free market". Good ol'' "american" corporations have been inflicting this on U.S. citizens for years with examples like pharmaceuticals charging U.S. citizens shockingly higher prices than citizens of other countries. - Reply to this comment
- Bush is an idiot. We should have invaded Sudia Arabia and he would have gained his objectives years ago... they look like freakin'''' pushovers... except for all the military equipment we donated. I saw a picture of him kissing one of the Saudi guys over there, so I''''m not real suprised he didn''''t invade them... kinda looks like our defenses were already penetrated.

Why shouldn''t we have helped Saudis in the destruction of Israel on Palestinian land, far away from the Concentration Camps in Germany, to enjoy oil in cheaper prices, which is in the best interest of the United States?
Why did our PSYCHOTIC CHRISTIAN LEADERS decided to give billions of dollars a year to the EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE to buy HATRED, TERRORISM and 9/11 against GOD-NEGLECTED AMERICANS and UNHOLY LAND UNITED STATES?
CHRISTIANITY is no longer only a PSYCHOSIS but a tool to fool the people of the United States! - Reply to this comment
