gas prices

[Stillrunning]

I love the liberal line that Bush has raised the price of gas then they turn around and call him dumb. You would have to be pretty smart to figure out how to raise the price of oil all over the world. If he did cause oil to go up like someone here knows he did then why isn't Obama or Hillary using that as a platform to get elected into office. Heck, if they promised me they could lower the price close to what it was before he took office (thats fair sense Bush increased the prices) and could tell me how I'd vote for them. Bush offered a plain to drill for oil which has been shot down everytime and by who? I'm not the biggest fan of Bush but I'm not going to blame him for somethng that he is not responsable for and that goes for every president we have. I think its time we as Americans start to look at things as a group and not one side against the other and we need to demand that from our goverment. I'm not saying lets all join hands and sing songs but we need to move foward and stop attacking each other on every issue. Sure we have different opinions but I'm sure we also have more common ground on which things should work.

Kumbayaaaaaaaaa.... oh wait I lost my head there for a minute.

You are correct and if you listen to teh speeches of the OPEC leaders,
some of which hate the U.S., then you will know who is driving the price up.

Could it be Chavez and Imanutajob, paying for their social revolutions along with
buying submarines, warships, jets and arms (from Russia)?

Stillrunning is exactly right.
All the democrats want is for the government to take over the price of fuel and regulate it.
Thats not how our government works. If you want to live in a socialist state there are plenty to move to.It would not be right for our government to cap oil prices because we feel they are unfair. The oil companies make a lot of profit and the only ones who can really do anything about the rising costs is us consumers ourselves. If we could all pull together for just a short period of time I think we could make some drastic difference. If we all didnt buy gasoline from a particular foreign oil company just for two or three days I think they would wake up a bit. It would send the message that we aren't vulnerable to whatever price they feel like charging.I think when we are ready to all have an inconvenience like that we can start making progress. And saying that a democrat in office is going to solve anything is ridiculous. I dont care what party they are from I personally believe Obama hasn't been around long enough to be president of anything and Clinton just cant get her story straight.
Just my $.02 =)

I just spent 2 days at the range doing combat shooting, fired about 1000 rounds, I'm ready.

Now, which side will I be on.
