Oil and Nancy Pelosi marching orders

[Holden McGroin]

Holden McGroin why don't you post a chart on the rise of oil prices for Bush's entire presidency and not just cherry pick one little time line that agree with your argument. 

Because you wrongly claimed, " It was well in the $3+ range before the Dem's were in congress..." So I posted a chart with an appropriate timescale.

The simple fact is, after being mostly stable for years, once Bush came to the white house oil has doubled it's price every three years, yet somehow it's the democrats in Congress's  fault.   

Here is a longer time scale that disproves yet another one of your assertions:



Doubling every three years of the 2001 price, (1.60 from this chart) would be $3.20 in 2004, $6.40 in 2007.

I think you whacked out liberal socialist democrats are going to have a hard time convincing the soccer moms that you are not drilling for more oil.... "for their own good"

Just like you had a hard time convincing the people that DC gun control was constitutional based on the idiotic notion that the second was a "collective" right..  socialist love "collective" eh?

You guys are really on the wrong side of some pretty big issues lately.. you have the whole media in your pocket but you are soooooo wrong that even that won't do it.

I remember us having an argument about this where some of us claimed Bush was responsible for the oil price rise for his actions in the middle east. Yet you same O clubbers went on and on about how Bush doesn't set the price and blahh blahh blahh.. Yet now you turn around and try to blame it all on Democrats in congress.. you guys are classic I tell you it's some funny stuff.

I remember that thread and Bush doesn't set oil prices, neither does Congress. Many things, including the war going on in Iraq can effect the oil prices. Higher demand also effects prices, China and India are using more oil than ever before. That too is driving the price up.

Now when things could be done to help alleviate high gas prices here at home, the President has lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling and Speaker Pelosi is adamantly refusing to do the same. Personally I don't believe the ban should have been put in place to begin with.
