You're like some damn 13 year old when you do that. Considering what I've heard by people who've met you, it's not far off from the truth.

The Democrats.

The last time I checked, the oil companies were yanked in front of congress a few months back for their 50th or so investigation. Every time nothing corrupt is found and the Donks like like idiots for not understinding how the oil market works. Since gas prices are about $2.50 in many places, I hope the democrats give Bush credit since they said he raised the prices. Morons...

Cootchie, cootchie, cootchie coo! >>The last time I checked, the oil companies were yanked in front of congress a few months back for their 50th or so investigation.<< And the Republicans would not allow the oil company executives to be placed under oath. I wonder why. >>Every time nothing corrupt is found and the Donks like like idiots for not understinding how the oil market works.<< Uh huh. There are still supply issues, world demand is still high (not as high as mid-summer, but that's normal...the rate of the fall in prices is NOT), and the threats to supply that have been there since the beginning of the year are still there. What's different right now? An election is coming up. I'm certain that after the election, if the Republicans maintain their grip on absolute power, prices will skyrocket back up to where they have been or higher.

Why not demand we have hearings on why the prices have come down??? Where is Chuckie Shumer to demand these hearings?

The problem is that demand isn't down by THAT much. Around here, people are driving MORE than they were just a month ago. Traffic has gotten WORSE, not better. >>Why not demand we have hearings on why the prices have come down??? Where is Chuckie Shumer to demand these hearings?<< Congressional Republicans don't have any interest in honest hearings. They don't want to use their subpoena power nor do they want to put the oil company execs under oath. I find that interesting.

They can do whatever they want to the price of gas and know that, as long as Republicans are in power, they can do whatever they want with impunity.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy <<There was a guy running for Congress in Arizona named Mike Cacciopoli. He is a Democrat.

He insisted gay marriage was covered under the constituiton, that the ACLU would win their anti god lawsuits, and that the ACLU judge who decided to throw out the NSA spy program was correct. Always wrong, he is now trolling Disney sites with nothing to add to a discusion except 5th grade level put- downs of the people who are actually discussing the issues. He is a very sad case who also said the Republicans were going to get crushed in the 2006 elections. But he is afraid to bet on it.

When you said you and 80% of your lawyer buddies agreed with the ACLU judge who ruled the NSA program illegal you not only jumped the shark but you were eaten by the shark. You insisted gay marriage would have to be found legal by the courts and you were smacked on that. You insist there is seperation of church and state yet the ACLU, your fantasy place to work, loses their establisnment clause cases every month now. Now you are going to get the smackdown for insisting the GOP is going to lose the 2006 electiions. Really. If you are a good attorney I play hockey for the Chicago Blackhawks.
