Democrats' common sense plan for gas prices...

[Swamp Fox]

Well, the Dems will have a larger majority after November. Then the GOP will have a harder time blocking legislation. The 2006 vote against the GOP was not the end, it was just the beginning.

The end of democracy and the beginning of socialism. Just what I want to happen, my hard earn money going to help the homeless and other ******* loafers to lazy to get a job.

It's all a game IMO...the dems vote for things when Repubs are in office, then turn around and call out the stupidity (Ex...Iraq). The Repubs are guilty of this as well. They vote for stupid legislation while a Republican is president and then publicly voice their disagreement with it and "change their stance." Classic political move.

Yeah all of those lazy good for nothing kids... we need to lower the minimum working age so these loafers can actually get a job... I say this because the majority of people on welfare are kids... The boots may be smaller but they still have straps...

You keep saying you've got something for us
Something called a future, but confess.
You've been spending when you shoulda been saving
Now all us kids are debters in distress

These booties are made for tottling
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna tottle over you...​

Windfall tax is a stupid idea, especially when you can't show a "windfall." I'm not opposed to eliminating tax breaks for companies. But the practical effect, at least in every company I've ever worked for, is that when you have increased costs (be it taxes or whatever else) you send them on down the line to the end purchaser and keep your margin at its target.

I guess you're right.

Why not... Liberals have been blaming Bush for absolutey everything bad that happens for 8 years.

Seriously, I think us Conservatives understand that it's not one person's fault for everything.

But don't lie to the American people and tell them you have a common sense answer to gas prices and then don't!!!!

that is the dumbest reason ive ever heard for blaming oil prices on the dems. should they have said they had a plan when they didnt? of course not. but does that mean you can blame them for oil? hell no. turn off rush and savage and think logically, for your own good

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Why would it cause prices to go up right now? And if so, so what. Sometimes a little pain is good.

I wouldn't say the Dems in Congress have a lower approval rating than Bush, I'd say Congress itself does (if it still does, what is Bush's now, 23%?). The only way to fix that is to get a Dem super majority.

Wait, weren't you claiming in another thread you did not really want a super majority? Yet here you are calling for it again. Claiming it is the only way.

They are the ones that for the last 4 years have been claiming we are just on the verge of attacking Iran. The threat of such an attack is why price are high according to a lot of people in the know. So guess what? They are responsible.

I think we need to elect another oil man and see what happens. You know, one that goes to the big oil companies and gets them to draw up an energy plan. The worst president EVER!

4,000 dead, 30,000 wounded, and $700 billion dollars wasted to establish a Shia theocracy allied with Iran.

No alternative energy plan, no stem cell research, huge increase in the national debt by borrowing from China.

Absolutely the worst president ever.

IF you would've read the entire post you would have seen that I know that you can't blame one person for everything.

Obviously their plan to lower gas prices hasn't worked... so let's try another plan like putting more oil in circulation... Has anyone heard of supply and demand?

I'm flattered that you ran around reading my posts.

We are talking approval rating here. Yes, if the Dems want their approval rating to go up they will have to have the power to enact law. Something they don't have at the moment. And yes, I really don't want a permanent supermajority. IMO, it's bad for the country. But I certainly will enjoy seeing it for the next four years.

The last 8 years will be known as the Dark Ages for the US and our Constitution.

You can bet on Virginia adding a Dem Senator. there is no way that the lame Gilmore has even a slight chance against Mark Warner. Making Gilmore the nominee shows you how desperate the GOP is.

Rediculous to blame Democrats. They even passed a law in 2007 that would deal with speculation. If only the Bush appointee in charge of regulating the oil industry would inforce that law. And if only the Justice Department weren't filled with Bush cronies.

Ever consider Big Business jacked up the price so the GOP could blame the Democratic Congress?

Bottom line, gas went up on Bush's watch. And it was laws passed from 2000-2006 that got us here.

Here is another point to ponder. In 2005, Congress gave Bush sooo much money for Iraq, that they ran out of money to give. So the Federal Reserve had to print more money. That weakened the dollar big time. Example: If you only have a million $1 bills in circulation, they are each worth $1. If you print off another million and put them into circulation, then they are only worth 50 cents. Since Bush and the GOP congress printed and circulated more money because they ran out, then no wonder a barrel is now $140. Because the dollar is worth half. That means before Bush spent all our money in Iraq, and printed more money, a barrel actually is only $70. So Bush lowered the value of the dollar, which is one reason gas is so expensive. Yes China and India and speculators are to blame too, but so is all the money we borrowed from China and blablabla.

You GOP'ers are rediculous. You are trying to lie McCain into the White House and lie your way back into control of congress.

I don't like how I explained the above, but i hope you get what I'm trying to say.

You are missing my point... I know it's not the Democrats that have raised the price of oil. But don't lie to the America people and tell them you have a common sense plan to lower prices just to get power in government.

So, do we all agree that it's time to drill for more oil????
