What about supply? Iraq has 25% of known oil reserves yet NOT ONE of the major oil companies have stepped up to bring this oil to market. Why? The price of oil will go down if they do!

[...] A lot of people blame BushCo for this. Here’s an article from Think Progress framing this rise as a failure of energy policy. [...]

Given the EPAct’s defects, it’s not surprising that another comprehensive energy bill could be in the works. Lawmakers in the House and Senate are talking about raising fuel efficiency standards (finally after 20 years!) and increasing renewable energy. Let’s hope that if Congress and the President do it again, they do it right.

This is a prime example of who installed these jack-asses in the W.H. . . . and how they are benefiting.
They have built the crime that just keeps on giving.
Absolutely the biggest criminal enterprise in the history of the planet with the largest supply of money to steal . . . the U.S. treasury . . . current . . . and the bottomless pit of borrowing allowed by their rubber stamp congress . . . the debt of which they pile on the backs of others.

When you look at them as the criminals that they clearly are . . . . you’ve got to say . . . hey . . . well done! Hell of a job on that last . . . job! You guys have successfully taken over the most powerful country in the world . . . . And most of the people don’t even know it! What’s more is . . . . they support you . . . it’s brilliant !!!

Friends,

Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war. Make no mistake about it: We, the majority of Americans, want this war ended — and we will actively work to defeat each and every one of you who does not support an immediate end to this war.

Nearly every Democrat set to run for president in 2008 is responsible for this war. They voted for it or they supported it. That single, stupid decision has cost us 2,592 American lives and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives. Lieberman and Company made a colossal mistake — and we are going to make sure they pay for that mistake. Payback time started last night.

I realize that there are those like Kerry and Edwards who have now changed their position and are strongly anti-war. Perhaps that switch will be enough for some to support them. For others, like me — while I’m glad they’ve seen the light — their massive error in judgment is, sadly, proof that they are not fit for the job. They sided with Bush, and for that, they may never enter the promised land.

To Hillary, our first best hope for a woman to become president, I cannot for the life of me figure out why you continue to support Bush and his war. I’m sure someone has advised you that a woman can’t be elected unless she proves she can kick ass just as crazy as any man. I’m here to tell you that you will never make it through the Democratic primaries unless you start now by strongly opposing the war. It is your only hope. You and Joe have been Bush’s biggest Democratic supporters of the war. Last night’s voter revolt took place just a few miles from your home in Chappaqua. Did you hear the noise? Can you read the writing on the wall?

To every Democratic Senator and Congressman who continues to back Bush’s War, allow me to inform you that your days in elective office are now numbered. Myself and tens of millions of citizens are going to work hard to actively remove you from any position of power.

If you don’t believe us, give Joe a call.

Yours,
Michael Moore

#136-ECb- “WE”? What’s with the ‘we’ crap? All of your posts were complaints about the graph. It was done by the minority staff of the House Government Reform Committee. Are you saying that they don’t know what they are talking about? One question, Is the price of fuel in America, be it oil, gas, natural gas, etc., significantly higher since GWB took office, or isn’t it? The graph, no matter what you may think of it doesn’t matter. The facts are self-evident, no matter how they are presented. And we also have the ironic situation of BP, with their Billions and Billions in record profits, and Billions in ‘corporate welfare’ benefits, knowingly allowing their pipeline in Alaska to corrode to the point of causing a 200,000 gallon, at least, oil spill, back in March. It took alot of negligence on the part of BP for this to happen, say about 14 YEARS worth. Thet are now facing a criminal investigation over it. I think prices will keep going up. And that is the point here, not how a graph was formatted.

Ahhhh…the charming hypocrites on the Left…..For years the eco-wacks have been whining that HIGHER gas prices would force Americans to drive less and thus, conserve more. And when gas prices climb the Left whines….(of course, Leftists whine that the $$$ generated from higher gas prices is going to “BIG Oil” – and their evil shareholders – and not the tax coffers they so adore…)

My support for alternative fuel sources has nothing to do with Dems and Progs desire to punish corporate America – I would like to see EVERY oil sheik returned to camel riding, Hugo Chavez straddling a donkey, and an overdrawn Iran without funds to buy military weapons from China…. The symbol of the braying, bleating jackass IS an apt symbol for the Dem Party….

If that graphic doesn’t show the price gouging after Katrina I don’t know what does. A barrel is more expensive today and the price of a gallon of gas is still lower than it was in Sept 05. Why were there no investigations? Why were there no lawsuits?

So, obviously, there’s no reason whatsoever to explain why gas prices have doubled since Bush has been in office. None. No connection. No reasons.

Gas prices doubled over past 5 years = Bush/Cheney = Republican dominated Congress = too many Americans suckered into making extremely bad decisions at the voting booths

Why do we think the energy policies of the Bush clan were a failure.
They were wildly successful. Price of oil products are skyrocketing,
the middle east is a mess, insuring high prices for many years.
I think they succeeded. That was the object.Consumers are more
than willing to pay, as long as they
or their children don’t get drafted to fight. Keep on electing these oil
suckers………..maybe it will impact your life….directly. good luck.

“Do you expect for me to ride a bike 16 miles to work and then 16 miles home everyday? If I wanted to ride a bike 32 miles everyday, I would take Lance Armstrongs job.”

#104: It’s fine so long as you don’t mind the hight of the bars corresponding to relative prices of gasoline…which happens to be EXACTLY what the graph purports to convey.

It’s a crappy, misleading graph. We should complain when the conservatives use bad graphs, and we should complain when we do it too.
