Republicans should be thrilled with $5 gas. Proves their policies work.

The worlds major oil reserves are in Arabia (from where the WTC terrorists come from), Iraq (who hates our guts for invading them) and Iran (who we freed up by invading Iraq).

There are hundreds of millions of new drivers in India and China.

ALL oil goes onto the "world market" and is unregulated.

Free Market. That's the Republican's God. Any oil found here goes on the world market.

Seems like Republicans want that dreaded "government" to step in and "do something". Well, get used to it. Unregulated capitalism, let the market decide. This is what it looks like. You got your wish. Stop bitching.

Our production will never match the reserves of one of those three countries. Never!

Doesn't matter how much oil is found here, IT GOES ON THE WORLD MARKET! Get it? IT GOES ON THE WORLD MARKET!

Got it?

IT GOES ON THE WORLD MARKET!

Good!

Oil: according to Liberals, the only commodity impervious to the laws of supply and demand

Oh Gawd! None of these right wingers understand the free market. No wonder their policies are so fucked up. "They know not what they do". Tragic.

[Mr. H.]

If you think the petroleum industry is unregulated, I suggest you dive right in and dig for the black gold.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Republicans support drilling and increasing the supply...and that's bad?

Flashback - Pelosi '07: Blames Bush for $3.07 Gas, In '12 Blames 'Speculators'
By Eric Scheiner
March 6, 2012



(CNSNews.com) - In May of 2007 then-House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was critical of the nationwide price of gas reaching a $3.07 average and squarely placed the blame on the Bush administration.

“Drivers are paying a heavy price for the Bush administration’s failure to enact a comprehensive energy strategy,” Pelosi said.

“Years of Bush Administration's policies that have favored big oil over the consumers have resulted in record dependence on foreign oil, leaving American families and businesses to pay even higher prices.”

Pelsoi continued, “This Congress, under the Democratic leadership, is working to make up for years of inaction, taking America in a new direction that helps bring down the cost of gas and promotes energy independence. Energy independence is essential, essential to reducing the price at the pump.”

As of March 2012 the average nationwide price of gas is $3.79, but Pelosi does not blame the Obama administration or the president’s plan for energy independence. Instead she focuses her criticism on speculators.

“Supply is up. Demand is down, you would think the price would come down. Enter the speculators,” Pelosi said on March 1, 2012.

“Not the healthy speculation that is normal to the marketplace, but a speculation that can add 20 percent to the cost of a barrel of oil. The American people have to know that, because this has happened before.”'

^^^^^^^^^^ bingo!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lets see the price of gas is up about 33% in the last few months.

Anbydoy here want to make the case that the spike is the direct result of SUPPLY DEMAND?

Anybody want to explain to us how the world demand has increased 33% in the last MONTH?

NO?

Didn't think so.

You know what's amusing, Deanie? You rabidly support a President who's made no secret of the fact that he wants $6 a gallon gas prices to make his "green energy" policies economically viable yet even on high gas prices you want to make it the fault of the Republicans.

Is there ANYTHING that Barry EVER does wrong in your myopic little eyes?

The fact is...Obama and his minions have been anti fossil fuel since the day they hit the Oval Office. He's just fortunate at this point that the Blue Dog Democrats kept him from passing the Cap & Trade legislation he wanted so badly! If Barry had gotten that...our electricity costs would be skyrocketing along with the cost of our gas and the economy would well and truely be FUBAR'D.

I know that Barry THINKS he can pass the blame on everything that's wrong since he took office but trying to make this a "Republican" thing is laughable...which is pretty much par for the course with ALL of your threads.

The US has more oil than the middle east. We just have an administration opposed to using it.
