you can't have it both ways no matter how much dc double speak about "factors" you give us dala

Look..Bush had a campaign mantra pre 9-11 that he had "connections" on the biz and we would benefit from that. This topic was discussed ad nauseum last year I still believe that oil prices are not poltically controlled. But that big a-hole from Texas sure tried to make it seem like he had inside info..what a dumb f*ck

you may think that but the majority leader of the congress does not

the main impresssion from the article that she gave was the higher gas pices were the result of the republicans being in power

now either she was playing politics (something she never does) or at the time she believed she was telling the truth

if we give her the benefit of the doubt that she was telling the truth in 2006 then the dems s/b working for the american people now against big oil to get lower gas prices for the american people

if she was playing politics then , what dala says in this post about monetary policy other factors etc, etc...... , then she should come out and apoligzie to the american people for mis-informing the public

see bob you can't have it both ways

Wow what the Democrats misinforming the American public again. Hmmm!!!! What do you know Pelosi playing politics. Thats a new one on me. Hopefully her and Reid's day will come soon. The trash in DC needs to be cleaned up. It doesn't look like to me that the Dems are trying anything with big oil to lower gas prices.

Ok, so in your opinion GAS prices, a non-life essential product, should be regulated by the government- whereas HEALTHCARE, a life essential product, should not be?

You sir, fail Economics 101 and Political Science 101.

it's no a question of regulation , it's a question of misleading the american people into believing that somehow bush and the republican congress were in bed with the big oil co's to soak the american people on gas px's.

it's pretty simply , it's not as complicated as our friend dala from inside the beltway wants everyone to believe

Did I ever say that healthcare shouldn't be regulated? Maybe you need to borrow my glasses and make sure your reading correctly. Im sure you voted for O'Dumbass, enjoy the next 2 1/2 years with him and watch this countries economy getting worse.

Every time you call our president "O'Dumbass" and lambaste his healthcare bill, which in its current form has a lot more to do with regulation of the healthcare industry and much less about "handouts" (which aren't part of the bill in any way despite your claims, which if you had read my link you would know this.)

This is officially funny at this point.

Isn't there going to be a few people getting health insurance for free. Dont you call that getting a handout? Im talking about people who can work but aren't working and they aren't looking for a job. I guess you think thats okay. Isn't it true that people will be paying for this so called insurance and won't be able to use it until 2014. By that time O'DUMBASS will be long gone. Some health insurance when people will be paying into it and cant use it.

the most common lie in american politics is any politician saying they care deeply about american dependence on foreign oil.

it's usually framed as a national security issue by republican's and a national security and environmental issue by democrats.

and it's quickly followed by an offer of cheap gas if you'd only elect them.

why? because they know their audience. no politician ever lost an election by underestimating the maturity or intelligence of the american voter.

any politician that tried to explain the long term benefits of $4-$5/gal gas would finish behind the transvestite-communist party candidate.

both sides play loose with facts on this subject. shocker.

A non-life essential product? I guess you didn't watch the National Geographic special on March 8 - A WORLD WITHOUT OIL.

Lack of health care would take a back seat to the crises of no oil.

I don't profess to understand how oil prices work - there are so many pundits with their own theories. I just know that in 1999, gas was about $1.00 a gallon, and now it's $3.00 a gallon and diesel, which should cost less than any grade of regular gasoline, costs more than hi-test.

The world has become dependent on oil - not just the United States. Chaos would reign if the world ran out of oil. I'd venture to say that 40% of the U.S. oil usage is for non-transportation usage.

he was talking about regulation of gas prices, not about oil. as for diesel, prices depend on supply and demand. huge demand for diesel, of course the price will rise.

No, he said, "a non-life essential product".

That's all well and good about the usage of diesel, but it's cheaper to process than regular gasoline - so it shouldn't cost more. Supposedly, the price of diesel was supposed to drop drastically after the 2009 Summer Olympics in China, and it did a bit, but now it's going back up.
