Lol, you again NVMakz, nice to know your a legend in your own mind. Being a loyal subject of King George I wouldnt' expect otherwise.

NvMakz,
Pompous, arrogant, misinformed, uneducated, possiblty illerate. Your use of slime words tells a lot of about you. You seem to be blinded by hate, I'm sorry for you. Your comments aren't fire power nor unique or unusual. You could have stolen them all from Fox News, Rushie, Hannity or O'Leily. Same ole, same ole, boring, borish radical right wing ranter enabler.
Luckily your in the minority and and I'm glad to be dismissed by a person of your lowly inteligence that still hasn't used one factual piece of evidence to support your cockeyed opinons.
As thin as your skin seems to be you'll no doubt rant and rave again. Your entitled to your opinion regardless how illogical your comments are to anyone other than another radical right wing enabler. Frankly, I'm not interested at all in your opinion. I don't waste time on pompous arrogant people who have no respect for anyone else's opinion.

I didn't see any use of a debate point by NVMakz unless he is referring to the same old tired rhetoric Republicans pull out every election cycle around drilling, drilling, drilling. It's a bogus point since the facts prove opposite, it would take ten years, the supply would only last six months, and there would be no lessening of people's dependence on oil. But, hey, why let facts stand in your way you can go on and demonize a person's name, or write about others using the intelligent factual debate points like "flaccid, Socialist Sun, anti American global liberal, you've made Karl Rove proud and once again proved you can't debate any point on merits or factual evidence. Your the name caller.
While Presidents alone may not cause the price of gas to go up, their policies and the policies of their party to influence it. Six years of rubber stamp Republicans in Congress did nothing but give more subsides to the oil companies. The Iraq war can contributed as well. Past years it's been the Republicans who have always made certain no legislation passed to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, can't have those auto makers have higher mileage standards on cars.
Did the oil companies use the billons of excess profits to build more refineries, NO. How much have they put into developing renewal engery, not much either, surprise surprise. Why would they, it might decrease their profit margins, yikes. Speculation can cause gas prices to go up on a day by day basis. We haven't even gotten to the demands of China so for now, Bush's promise made a few years ago to "jaw bone" the Arabs of OPEC didn't work. They basically told him it's not the supply and demand, there is plenty it's the mismanagement of our own economy. Oil companies too share part of the blame, but you'll never see Republicans hold them accountable. Accountability is a word Relpublicans use a lot except for their own policies and the diasters of what they have created and passed as legislation.
I'm not taking the fall for this Republican administration, I didn't vote for it so NVBOY it may be your fault if you voted Republican but don't blame the rest of us and stop trying to make those of us accountable for your own mistakes. It might surprise you but lots of us who wouldn't vote Republican actually believe that "we the people" government can be used for the common good. You never see it with a Republican in office but it's happened in our history and we the people have been better for it under Democratic adminstrations. The middle class didn't come about from anything Republican and if you don't beleive that start reading some history.
