Let the oil men keep their profits, (and I'm not just saying this because my wife's family is heavily vested in oil). Exxon is not to blame. They are just benefitting from the current system. Energy trading needs to be reregulated. This would keep down speculation runs on a precious and neccessary commodity.

Isnt this the bill that the republicans held up last week? Why do republicans want high oil prices? Is it to convince the american public that we need to cut loose with some new oil contracts... Naaa .. Cant be that. Americans are too smart to be taken that way...
It does however bring a tear to my eye reading about all this concern you republicans have for the average American Joe out ther spending 4$ a gallon for gas...
When you get a chance to wipe off those crocadile tears, please go and give yourselves a hand. Without you cats, where would this country be?
Oh, btw.. the lame duck minority party will not be dictating the future of our energy policy.. Kudos Nancy for shutting down a bunch of disgruntled windbags who when were in power did absolutly nothing to procure any semblence of energy independance even after 9/11.
nice post. I never hear repubs discuss the enron loophole and how much that's costing us. they just want to give big oil more land so they can sell it on the world market.
its like selling us locks for our doors to prevent burglars from getting in but we have no locks for our windows. bad analogy, but I think you'll get the point?
