I''m all for ending the failed war on drugs and the Iraq occupation as well. Ron Paul is right on both issues.

The government can affect gas prices through competing with the private sector for petroleum products or taxes, or regulation but to "manipulate" impies there is some kind of conspiracy.

The ONLY agenda I can believe, besides profit, is to make the voter have maybe a little warm fuzzy feeling the day he/she goes to the polls.

The other poster believes that. My point was since it ROSE before the 2004 election, the government cannot manipulate price.

Really.

With all the great self study opportunities and need for good workers and technicians and other wonderful avenues of success I have always felt like a kid in a candy store in this incredibly wonderful land of ours.

When I read these posts from depressed sad people bashing successful people it makes me wonder what in the world happened to them so they choose to be failures?

Abuse, neglect, School bullying, some accident that hurt their learning ability? I am obviously blessed with a feeling of "yes I can".

How does one help another feel that "Yes I can" feeling? They think Obama will somehow magically make it happen but all he can spend lots of money to lead a horse to water.

What is going to magically make them quit blaming others for their failed lives and cause them to start to choose success? Success is a choice as is failure.

Blaming Bush and the GOP, or anyone else for that matter, is simply sour grapes.

It sounds like you may believe that the government manipulsates the price of gas. If this were so, wouldn''''t the government have manipulated the stock market and the housing market, too? If President Bush could manupulate these markets, he would have done so to have McCain elected. McCain may lose the election, in part, because so many Americans are frustrated and abgry about the economy. A good economy might make Obama less attractive to many voters.

Well its about time. I am no fan of OPEC who controls the flow of oil (supply) to ensure high prices. Well they are finally going to find out that they cannot control demand. I don''t feel sorry for them. I hope they are losing billions. I also hope we have learned this as well.

LOL, oh absolutely. Didn''t America go out and vote against peace and prosperity in 2000 so that they could end up with what we have today?

Sure it''''''''''''''''s dropped. Just the way it did before the last two elections. We have such short memories. It''''''''''''''''ll be back up in time for the Holidays just as before. We''''''''''''''''ll be hearing the same old lies just remixed and in a different order.

"We''re seeing gasoline demand down against a year ago. It%u2019s the first time that''s happened since 1983," Beutel said. "

1983....When the GREAT SATAN ronald reagan was running for reelection.

When I want quality social or intellectual exercises the CBS forums do not immediately come to mind.

It''s just fun to be here and argue with real people. Kids like to argue with make believe video game characters.

Anyone with half a brain will tell you we have cheap gas under Bush. Remember $10 a gallon under Clinton? I do! Lets all vote for McCain and gas will be even cheaper.
