Gimpy...
Glad seeing we're finally on same page about something.
Still, surprised hearing you or any other staunch DNC types, echoing what Bill O'Reilly and other quite believable commentators (unfortunately few and quite different than most) have been trying to expose about such grand scale: "Public Rip-offs" by; "The Big Boys" and/or The Oil and Utilities Barrons,...FOR AT LEAST A MONTH.
Typical: "Supply & Demand" and now; "Not enough refineries" excuses,...ARE PURE BULL. The proof of such being PURE BULL, are that prices are going down every week from the $3+ per gallon, while no new refineries have come on line, and the demand hasn't decreased.
Guess that when the RIGHT PRICE wanted ($2.00 or $2.25 per gallon) is arrived at prices will stabilize, since then everyone will be happy? The Public Screwers will be happy, since a new and higher gallon price has been FIXED, give or take a penny or two.
We The Screwees will then also be happy, since no longer having to pay for $3+ per gallon gasoline and diesel, and being convinced again that we're somehow getting a bargain.
Yes,..."Ignorance IS bliss", even for those masterfully conned over and over and over by The Big Boys.
Regardless, and even though you and all other DNC types never have any solutions FOR ANYTHING other than blaiming and bashing Bush FOR EVERYTHING (past, present and future), I believe you're totally wrong doing so presently about Bush,...as most all other times. Hell,...even Clinton couldn't have been wrong or lied about EVERYTHING even though many might argue that point,...and quite rightfully so and especially about lying.
And besides, such grandscale: "Public Rip-offs" by: "The Big Boys" in collusion with (or permitted by) our Big Brother Government have gone on MANY times in the past,...and long before anyone ever even heard of G.W. Bush.
Plus, and even though now The Minority Party, there are also a lot of Democrats hanging around in Washington, DC with their fingers-up-their-butts (when not Bush Bashing),...just doing nothing other than enjoying another big show of: "We The (Schnooks)" getting perpetually and royally-screwed-over (greatly helped perpetrated by "Their" ineptness),...AS USUAL.
Yeah Gimpy,....sometimes even I agree with The DNC and would use their:"9/11" Hearing phrase also regarding price-fixings and price-gougings, in that: "There's enough blame to go around". Plus, for years both Parties have proven to be quite inept for We Americans.
For foreigners' problems both Parties are usually quite adequate, even though Democrats seem to give much more adequate representation for foreigners (here legally or otherwise).
Guess Dems don't really care just how they increase their staunch and reliable Voter Base?
