“This is a tough year,” Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Goddard, told The Eagle editorial board last week, referring to GOP prospects in November. He predicted that Republicans would retain control of the U.S. House. But he said that two keys would be for GOP lawmakers to start demonstrating fiscal conservatism and for there to be some success in Iraq (which he defined in part as fewer casualties). One factor that Tiahrt didn’t mention is gas prices. If gasoline is $3 or more per gallon, incumbents, and particularly Republicans, may feel voter ire, fairly or not.

The GOP (Greedy Oil Party) is in deep trouble if gas stays high. Todd will have to use his mil. bank roll just to fight adverse opinion, even if he’s running uncontested!

I hate this man!!! Trading the environment, just at a time when it is becoming more and more clear that global warming is real, for a couple cents at the pump is not worth it. I am glad he suggested for congress to get rid of some (how about all?) of their massive subsidies to oil companies, but we’ll just see if that happens. Then he pays lip service to conservation and hybrids. I hate this man.
Sooo…classic case of ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t”, right Allie? It is more than a couple of cents at the pump..it is causing drastic lifestyle changes for the people that can least afford it.
Still, it seems to me that the gas prices have two causes…one are the speculators and two are the oil companies.
Speculators bid up the prices..so, simple, tax their income at around 80% of gross.. that might help lower their greed. And, the oil companies with their obscene profits (hundreds of billions a quarter) should just be nationalized. Period. They are holding this country hostage–just because they can.
If he were serious, he’d propose taking the tens of billions allocated to the oil co. tax breaks and funnel it into a massive alternative energy initiative. If he needed more, a windfall profit tax on the oil co. would be appropriate. Might call for their CEO’s to sacrifice their hundreds of millions retirement packages, but would be good for the world. Funny he’s now talking about taking back the tax cuts his “National Energy Policy” dictated. The heat is on!

Supply fear sends price of oil higher
http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060419/NEWS/604190342/1002/NEWS01
Notice how the Dallas Morning News, where the Editorial staff is all pro Zionist Israel, lies about Bush causing these gasoline prices with his and Zionist Israel’s nuclear threats against Iran
http://www.dallasnews.com/
Dallas Morning News:
“The high cost at the pump has turned into a major political issue, with Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for a problem.”Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,Lie,
Read it yourselfhttp://www.dallasnews.com/
Bush finally stops filling the SPR, well it’s waaaay over due. He should periodically threaten to release reserves, and randomly follow through to cause a slaughter on the oil speculators. Or, pass a law that if you are not in a position to take delivery of oil contracts, then you can’t participate in that market. The oil market speculators, are far removed from the actual cost of oil. Hey, it’s our money!
Speculators bid up the price of crude oil. Why? So they can pay more? If that were true then speculators would never have bid the price down to 9 dollars a few years ago, then back up to 35 dollars.
Zionist try so hard to keep the real reason cloaked, because if they don’t the world will see what a corrupting influence they represent.
Didn’t Tanker Todd call for term limits? It’s time to Term Limit him!
Oil spike at 70 dollars as soon as Bush threatened Iran with a nuclear strike, then immediately went of TV and took the nuclear option off the table. Oil settled down to about 57 dollars, but Bush kept hinting about attacking the world’s oil supply again and here we are now.
Bush is insane with his “end-days-thing” and cannot be reasoned with. Karl Rove understands that unless he can pawn-off the 4 dollar gasoline thing on to the Oil Companies for “Gouging at the pump or even the “Well-Head { whatever they figure that is going to be } Bush’s goose is cooked come November in congress.
Steve
The other player is OPEC. It’s their oil and when Zionist Israel nukes it or has the United States to nuke it, any change in the current oil market function will be a disaster.
Rove will make Bush back off the nuclear thing, but the question is; how much and will the markets believe it.
The “Well-Head gouge” is funny. There is no such thing nor could there be, but it does show how far they’ve painted themselves into the corner trying to hide the Neoconservative/PNAC/Zionist-Jew scam they’ve been running.
They are desperate as people will educate themselves as to what is really going on.
The saber rattling has definitely had an impact on oil prices, and they know Bush is crazy enough to follow through. He doesn’t operate off of anything but his ‘instinct’.
Let’s set the “way-back” machine to 2000 when CANDIDATE Bush was asked what he’d do if oil prices spiked:
“I think the president ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say: ‘We expect you to open your spigots’ …The president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price. And if, in fact, there is collusion amongst big oil, he ought to intercede there as well.”Financial Times, February 2, 2000
“I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply. … Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.”New York Times, June 28, 2000
“We’re dependent upon crude. … I would hope the administration would convince our friends in OPEC to open the spigots.”Los Angeles Times, June 22, 2000
“I think Americans ought to be asking, ‘Where’s all the capital we earned overseas after defending some of our OPEC nation friends?’”Associated Press, March 20, 2001
“Well, we’ve got good relations with a lot of members of OPEC. If the president does his job, the president will earn capital in the Middle East, and the president should have good standing with those nations. It’s important for the president to explain, in clear terms, what high energy prices will not only do to our economy, but what high energy prices will do to the world economy.”CNN, January 26, 2000
Republicans. No shame. No honor.
I heard one expert today say that with all the consolidation recently of Big oil companies, it is not longer necessary to partake in collusion to fix prices. They have so much control in the markets, they can do it unilaterally, and thus legally.
Bombing the oil supply is the problem. That drives-up the price of whatever oil is left.
The Zionist-Jews are threatening to bomb Iran. You haven’t mentioned that. Do they have you trained?
Raptor- There have to be better ways of dealing with the oil crisis than continuing to screw the environment. And if the eased regulations on refining decrease the price of gas by more than a few cents by themselves; I’ll be very surprised. IF oil companies can still command the high prices AND get to produce it cheeper, they will. It isn’t a perfectly competitive market.
The “spigots” are already wide open and delivery is strained.
Stop threatening the supply.
The President doesn’t explain….he lies.
Whatcha wanna bet that gasoline prices fall dramatically about a week before the election, and stay down for two weeks before resuming their former levels?
That line about all the environmentalist restrictions making it a long process to get approval is B.S. too. Not too long ago I did a search and found out that there was only one active proposed refinery project pending, I think it was the first in a two or three decades. If something takes a long time to do, you don’t just say I need it, but it takes so long, I’m just not going to do it. If anything, you get the ball rolling as soon as you can. Also, if a refinery wasn’t practical here, there are plenty of third world countries that would drop any restrictions. It is just supply and demand. And, you control the supply, so why shoot youself in the foot when you can make a fortune running at full capacity. More demand, will just increase your bottom line.
Steve
Without a stop to threatening the supply, nothing you are saying matters.
We have a little boy sitting in the White House. He is immature and unable to think through complicated problems by himself. He is extremely gullible and easily influence to act on anything which appears to elevate his sense of importance or feeling of self-worth.
IE: ” I’m the president, why can’t we just do it my way?”
IE: “You keep throwing the G-d piece of paper in my face. I don’t care, It’s just a God piece of paper and I’m the president.”
This little boy thinks he’s on a mission from God. that’s what Ariel Sharon told him or sold him on the idea, and he believes that it’s true.
He can’t fire Rumsfeld because he’s been told he can’t. That’s not a part of the “plan.”
Some very “slick” people with an agenda all laid-out in the PNAC plan are guiding him along. The problem is that the so=called PNAC plan is highly flawed and unworkable.
Nobody has told him that, but the Zionists seem to feel they will come out on top as the rulers of the world.
Nobody in their right mind offers to use nuclear weapons on the world’s oil supply. Some oil traders are saying Crude oil could hit as high as 250 dollars a barrel in the near future as Zionist Israel seems poised to start bombing Iran by itself.
Nobody has told Bush that and any of this.
Raptor, Interesting post…I like it.Come election day, let’s be sure and not forget the 12 billion dollar tax cut republicans gave the oil companies.
Lets also not forget the secret Energy Policy crafted by Cheney and Big Oil, brought to us by Bushco.
Big Oil owns the GOP. If you’re enjoying the price of gas, just wait till the price increases hit your utility bills this summer and next winter.
There’s not any more supply of oil to tap. We’re within a few percentage points of maximum capacity of world supply.
Ed hit the nail right on the head. With “Idiot Boy” threatening to nuke a major oil supplier, Oil prices will do nothing but rise. It’s time this country takes another look at who we’re supporting and what’s in our best interests. Continuing our support of Israel is going to get costly.
XXX
There are two Israels. One has good peace-loving Jews, the other has Zionist who are secular psychopaths and don’t believe a word of religion.
IE: Ariel Sharon: “I want nothing to do with the Religous Parties.”
{ said when he was forming a government }
Through a process that Jefferson arranged, states can initiate impeachment. Three states are starting these processes now – California, Vermont, & Illinois.
There are several bases being offered for impeachment.
Could be interesting. The only needed ingredients are Democrat testicles.
Raptor continues to surprise me as well.
I saw his name and figured I’d read about oil profit percentage vs/ taxes on a gallon of gasoline.I apologize my prejudice raptor.
But he didn’t start that way or pursue the rest of the right wing lie that is currently being peddled. Let me go ahead and finish exploding it before one of the shills shows up to sell it.
The president isn’t at fault. Republicans aren’t at fault. No its the damne taxes and greenies! It’s THEIR fault. BLAME A LIBERAL!
The right is railing about the dif between the profit and the taxes on a gallon of gas. “If we really want to cut the price of gas let’s cut the taxes!!” Just wait you’ll see it here. No explanation will come to say how the roads will be maintained if we cut those taxes……which fund the infrastructure.
Another big bitch from the right. “We have all the oil we need if the damn tree huggers would let us drill” X already beat them to that. There just isn’t that much domestic oil left no matter how much land we tear up. I’d add to his comments. Given the environment we are in; dependent as we are on oil, is it not reasonable to sit on and reserve what little oil we have? You know….in case of emergency like bush blowing up the mideast.
The final little lie from the right yet to appear here concerns boutique fuels. That being gasoline specially formulated to meet polution standards for a given region. “Get rid of those damn boutique fuels” they wail. Refining the boutique fuels IS more cumbersome. But those fuels are for standards determined LOCALLY and largely by vote. SO again SOME on the right are all too eager to sacrifice local control for corporate greed.
I like raptors take. If this resource is so important than nationalize it. That or at least make something more than a token effort to replace the technology.
The right will pay heavily for this. And they deserve to.
Supporting Zionist Israel hurts and threatens America as well as the rest of the world. The Zionists also threaten the very existence of peaceful Israel or, a least, Zionist Israel must cease to exist, leaving the good Jews a place to live in peace.
Zionist Israel has passed the point where they have no redeemable quality.
The Zionists have turned Israel into a rouge lawless State, where crimes of every imaginable type are allowed to flourish and justice is shown to have absolutely no value.
The Zionist shoot children.
People have talked about alternative energy development. Like me. Let’s change the vebiage to AMERICAN energy development. Let’s change the argument from alternative, like “alternative lifestyles” to WHAT WE HAVE HERE, RIGHT IN AMERICA. I just drove to KC. Gawdacious winds that drove my mpg down. Caused my car hood to buckle-vibrate. That’s ENERGYY folks.
You have a lot of natural gas. Apply locally-produced wind-electricity and natural gas heating to create high-produce-value greenhouses. When open land is fallow in late fall-winter-spring, grow crops under plexiglass. Plastics are hail-resistant. Make a hundred times as much money per acre than your ancestors could have dreamed of. If they can grow tomatoes and flowers in Holland and Canada in mid-winter, don’t you think it can be done in Kansas?
Creekstone Farms wants to test cattle for BSE. If they find it in some carcasses, they won’t sell it. That’s a Kansas corporation. Lobby your legislators. If they won’t help Creekstone, then dump these legislators, because it means they don’t want KANSANS TO PROSPER.
Don’t give Republicans a pass on gas! Or, maybe you should!
If we’re gonna nationalize something, let’s do the natural gas companies…in alphabetical order, starting with Aquila.
The high priced gasoline has to do as a result of why we’re really in Iraq.
We know all of Bush’s lies, and the Arabs get the money, so the oil company gouging crap won’t work.
They won’t talk about the truth, but,
What is the truth?….Really?
ED”There are two Isearls.”
You might add that one in the White House too.
XXX” Israel is going to get costly.” You might say Israel IS costly.
Gfun, I suspect it will get a lot more costly before it gets better.
Does anyone else see this possible scenario from Cheney’s energy task force?”Hey, I wonder how we can get rid of those pesky environmental issues that eat into our profits from the oil revenue. Maybe if we get gas prices up like they were in the 80’s we can even get another windfall tax.UH.. do you think maybe the public might catch on. Naw.. We’ll even give them a tax credit for huge gas guzzlers so we can really rake it in.”
Of course, since the records have never been made public for who he met with or what was the agenda we’ll never know.
The little boy in the White House better have mommy start packing his bags. State by State he’s being impeached, which begs the question: Why isn’t congress doing their job?
The answer is a few blocks down the street from the Capitol at AIPAC where the underhanded smug arrogant Zionist-Jews think they own this country.
Well, they don’t, but the American People do, and it took the 3 dollar Jew-gas to wake them-up { 4 dollars in some places }.

If the scuderi group can get auto companies interested, this engine could reduce our dependance on foreign oil big time:
http://www.scuderigroup.com/index.html
A world-renowned independent research laboratory has verified the innovative technology of the Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine.
Studies showed engine efficiency increases from 33% to almost 40% while toxic emissions are reduced by as much as 80%.Engine Efficiency
The impact of this technology is simply staggering:
* This technology not only saves energy but also increases the power of an engine while significantly reducing its cost.* Vehicles will be able to exceed all current mileage and emission standards without compromising size or performance.* Consumers would save billions of dollars in fuel costs. Reduction in emissions would be in the hundreds of millions of tons per year.
Oil Traders would react sharply by driving-down the price of crude oil if this G-d stupid Bush would remove the Atomic Bombs which Zionist Israel stole from us and is threatening to use on the World’s Oil Supply.
There’s no getting away from that solution because that IS the problem. There IS no other problem, not Oil Companies profits, OPEC or Oil Traders.
Those are the trigger words that stupid People respond to, but do NOT relate to this 75 dollar a barrel Crude Oil or the 3 to 4 dollars a gallon at the pump.
The White House Clown is so beguiled by his dumbness and stubbornness and spoiled-brat-ness that he can’t see the trees for the forest.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-04-24-bush-gas-probe_x.htm
National Securities concerns means getting rid of Bush AIPAC Rice Rumsfeld and all of the Zionist-Jews who now infect the White House. We can’t afford them.
Or their grandiose plans about conquering the Middle East.
Since Bush “The Decider” started killing American soldiers and Iraqi civilians.
http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/retail_price_chart.aspx
This Zionist bastard in England seems unaware of the Nuclear his buddies are making ion the Middle east Oil fields.
Borrowing a line from Randy: ” Apparently they don’t get out much.”
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,9072-2151861,00.html
Here’s proof….
Markets move not by greed, not by Oil Companies, Not by “gouging” at the pump or the “well Head” or any other phony reason.
When the President offers to Nuke the World’s oil supply or suggests he will allow the G-d Zionist-Jews to do the Nuking, oil markets move all by themselves.
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/stories/New_Story_6.6d5021ba.html
Oil stockpiles are at an 8 yr. high, so there is no shortage of oil. So much for the supply/demand excuse. I heard a quote of Cheney’s from 2001 to the extent that “conservation might have value, from a personal value standpoint”. Also, heard to day that it cost aroung 50 cents a barrel to extract oil.
JM – if that technology is real I am sure someone can put it into production. I have my doubts.
I hate to burst the impeachment bubble, but . . .
The House has the sole power of impeachment. Art. I, Sec. 2.
The States can pass censure resolutions till they’re blue in the face, but only the House can impeach. Only the Senate can try those impeachments.
Will the House vote to do so? I doubt it, no matter which party gets control in November.
Not so sure, GMC.
Actually, I’d agree that, given our current state of knowledge, no impeachment. Not dependent on party in power.
However, if the Dems gain control of the House, then there could be lots of investigations with followup hearings, and who knows where that could lead.
If the House changes hands then US citizen knowledge of what’s happened in both the leg and the exec since 2000 will most likely improve drastically – and for the better, imo.
This is also why, imo, President Bush’s supporters would profit from a presidential censure. Again, not dependent on the party in power.
Why? A censure would be insurance against impeachment. Also, at the rate the GOP has bottled up “new knowledge of the leg and the exec,” it could very well come to pass that demand by citizens for new knowledge could come at a heat that could be must unprovident for the President. That is, discovery could happen *at* impeachment.
Discovery *before* impeachment is subject to additional political forging via moral suasion, but discovery *at* impeachment means events are out of the GOP’s control.
“He doesn’t operate off of anything but his ‘instinct’.”
Instinct? I thought god spoke to him through the voices in his head.
flike -
I agree in that sense. If facts come out that would support impeachment, a democratic House may indeed so vote. But I doubt it.
Why? Impeachment is ultimately a political remedy. If info that comes out would support impeachment, Bush will be further weakened, and he’s already a lame-duck president with little political capital. The Dems cand continue to use him as a lightning rod for all that is bad. IOW, he’s more useful to the Dems in office than out. They get to blame him, and take the high road on impeachment at the same time.
If he’s removed (a Senate operation, and the Dems are less likely to take the Senate), you are left with Cheney as President, and he’ll have some inevitable honeymoon period (though damn little, I suspect).
Back to the OT.The republicans are talking tough on gas prices to our faces, but behind closed doors, it’s a different story.
More give aways for big oil while we pay historic prices at the pumps.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/25/AR2006042501738.html
Personally, I’m willing to pay high gas prices if it gets Bush out of the White House before 2009.
And with the House looking more and more Democratic by the day, and the GOP’s Senate stranglehold weakening, fun times could be ahead.
I’m looking forward to November. Accountability day is coming.
I agree GMC that it is unlikely the House would vote impeachment. Even though the grounds are a LOT more than a stained dress.
Here is why US gasoline is costing over 3 dollars a gallon.
When Bush does not control the rogue State of Zionist Israel as other presidents have done, we all pay the price for Bush’s stupidity. First in gasoline, then in the loss of the United States.
Bush is an irresponsible child, or better yet, a spoiled brat with a loaded gun.

Zionist Israel had Bush threaten to use nuclear Bombs on Iran. Iran sits right in the middle of the Middle East Oil Fields. How dumb is dumb?
Steve
There is no supply and demand excuse.
There is a threatened supply by both Bush and Zionist Israel.
That threat is what is driving-up the price of Crude Oil.
Impeachment is not a political remedy in this case.
Removing the commander-in-chief from launching nuclear weapons against the Middle East is a military move.
Californias impeachment legislation calls for Cheney to be removed as well

It is not in the bag that any of the above states can get the bills for impeachment out of their respective legislatures.
Can we call this gas “Bush Gas” or “Cheney Gas” -
Ed, your version bothers me.
IOW, he’s more useful to the Dems in office than out.
Not if he nukes Iran.
And… it might be in the political interest of the dems to keep him in office, but since he has declared himself emperor and above the law, they cant really stop him from destroying the country unless he is removed, and he takes all his little playmates with him.
One could always hope for a little statesmanship instead of political opportunism. But they are ALL incumbents on both sides of the aisle…
DD, can we just call it heartburn in the pocketbook and ass burn in the white house?
Darwin’sDisciple
You must not realize just how bad these people are. I supported Israel from its inception through about the mid-seventies. At first it was just small thing which presented themselves, but I gave Israel the benefit of the doubt. I had watched and followed the Nuremberg Trials, but little things kept cropping-up, when I began to spot the difference between the good Jews and the Zionists.
Zionist philosophy follows the Seven Deadly Sins as though it is their handbook.
The old adage about the fellow who would rather climb a tree to tell a lie rather than stand on the ground to tell the truth fits so neatly into a Zionist’s thought.
Because of their control over the MSM most Americans do not understand what they’re up against.
The Zionist like GM like to sling Jew-Hater, anti-Semitism, anti-Semitic, Holocaust denier, alldarts of astigmatism.
They squeal when I hit them with their Jew-Gas and it is a direct result of Zionism.
For you, I’ll try to back-off. Best, Ed
ED,
I lkie the term “jew-gas”, stick with that please. :)
Viva La Revolucion Blanco!!
I like it as well, but there are some very good people on this blog and some of them are “Good Jews” as well.
The Zionist always see to it that they are the ones who get blown-up, as the Mossad will allow the suicide-bombers to get through to them.
You never hear about a Likud member being a victim { other than Kinginghoffer being pushed-off a cruse ship in his wheelchair { while on a United States taxpayer paid-for vacation.
When will poor dumb Kansans realize if you have to fret the price of gas, you never were a Real Republican, to begin with?
Steve
That may mean that Kansas has the only real Republicans left. They sure didn’t put one in the White House.
That G-d thing is a hybrid: A cross between an ass-hole and a Zionist. Who uses wej-gas in his car { Ian that’s Jew-Gas for you }.
Oh, we’ll move on to alternative energy, all right. And guess who will own the companies…Oil corps.
There is no evidence to support these charges. Bush is doing this to make way for a Zionist Israel invasion. This fool Bush is trying to justify an attack on the United States which the Zionist Israeli Mossad will carry-out and blame Syria.
Aljazeera
“The US president has authorized the freezing of assets of anyone involved in the 2005 assassination of Rafik al-Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister.George Bush on Wednesday underscored suspicions about Syrian involvement in the Beirut truck bombing that killed al-Hariri and 20 others.”
Bush has nothing better to do? For America? Is Jew-Gas our present for this month?
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/6A5BF0D5-C3FF-4091-AFCE-55E15C2EE3A0.htm
Think of the White House as a giant toilet full of Zionist-Jew-Gas creators.
Now notice the handle and flush-it.
Congress needs to get-off its ass and remove this turd before he takes us all down with him.
al-Hariri was an x-Prime minister of Lebanon years ago, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the United States of Zionist Israel.
It is a non-event for the United States.
Bolton is a Zionist in charge of the UN and has plenty to do other than fool with this non-event.
Bush should be taki9ng care o=f American business.

The work of the Zionist Israeli Mossad
Aljazeera
“Who killed Rafiq al-Hariri?”
“Agency hand?”
“Although a previously unheard of outfit calling itself al-Nasir and Jihad Group in al-Sham claimed responsibility for al-Hariri’s assassination, commentators said the magnitude of the blast suggested an intelligence agency was behind the explosion rather than a small group.”
“Reuters reported security sources as saying the explosive device was sophisticated enough to evade jamming equipment so hi-tech that al-Hariri’s passing convoy would interfere with cellphones and televisions.”
“So who plotted al-Hariri’s violent death? Murhaf Jouejati a Syrian analyst at the Middle East Institute in Washington, told Aljazeera.net that it was too early to accuse anyone of being behind the killing.”
“This is not good news. The Syrians are not crazy and they are not going to be assassinating Lebanese officials,” he said.”
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/AA19EA2C-3683-4980-BFC6-666C15B07D41.htm
Karl Rove has Bush on immigration where he can find some friends. Also it takes Bush away from all the hot-button issues which drive his polls into the ground.
Notice how today feels a bit light on news. That means it’s working.
Not once did the Washington Post mention Zionist Israel as having anything to do with higher gas prices. Whoever wrote this editorial { linked } knows exactly what I know and is purposely withholding that information from the American People.
That is not fair.
You cannot threaten to make the world’s oil supply radio-active and expect oil-traders not to take the price right through the roof.
How about telling the American People the truth. Maybe they don’t mind paying for Israeli greed.
