USA Today & Gallup recently took a poll that showed that 42% of the people polled feel that the Bush administration has fooled around with the prices, "deliberately manipulated", of gas. Something to do with the upcoming elections. Hmmmm, do we think that could be possible? Are the Republicans feeling some heat and fallout? I mean, come on, when was the last really good news that this administration had? Gas prices coming down is something that they know people like, want and will make them feel like someone cares.Larry Sabato, a political scientist, from the University of Virginia said," You don't think that gas prices matter? Just ask Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter & Ronald Reagan. They'll all tell you that their victories or defeats depended in part on the cost of gas at the pump."
We could go on and on and talk about the prices of the barrels etc., but no matter what argument is presented you can't deny that these are oil people, with oil connections and men like this can and do make things happen and change in the world when they want it to happen.

Let's see,a few months ago gas here was $3.15.Now a month away from the election it is $1.98.Either way,I just know it will be $3.15 right after the election again,so I'm voting Democratic.

Cool. I have not had the chance to really dive in, but maybe this weekend. Thought you might like it.
You do realize we live in a market economy right? Do understand the incredible volume of influence Bush would need to move gas prices just a little? Every economist I've seen on TV has laughed out loud when asked if Bush could be manipulating the price of gas.
Reality based community indeed.
