President Cheney, fuel prices and McCain-Kerry II
the GOPNation ^ | August 11, 2005 | the GOPNation

Bob Woodward is insisting that Republicans will nominate Vice President Cheney for president in 2008. While this is likely wishful-thinking for the left-winger Woodward, Cheney has indicated time and time again that he won't be a candidate in 2008, it adds fuel to the '08 tea leaves...The current president, George W. Bush meets with his foreign policy team today in Crawford where one of the main topics should be the continued rise in oil prices. Consumers are angry (and likely so) and will only be more so as prices at the pump rise closer to $3.00 a gallon...Finally, The Hill reports that John McCain and John Kerry met for lunch (WHAT NEWS), which surely means that the two are plotting to join forces in '08. Couldn't they have done that last year, and didn't?

McCain and Kerry; two of the biggest peacocks around preening in front of the camera. Yeah, that's what the country needs.

3 short-term solutions to high gas prices that Bush should take now:

- Rescind the federal gas tax

- End the ethanol requirement & subsidies

- Require that all states sell the same blend of gas

LOL! Bob's Alzheimer's is finally coming to public view.
Well, with no deep throat to sustain his aura, what else?

Since old Kerry isn't going to run Pub, if McCain would finally openly abandon his party, then, gasp, would it mean no Hillary? What a battle that would be. 8^)

Woodward is outright delusional.

The terror funders and their partners are making us pay through the nose for the oil they sell to pay for more

They are certainly getttin our money out of us now...

Maybe if we all go out to our local Mosques and walk around
holding hands we can get them to drop the price again..

America leader of the free world raped by Muslim arabs over and over again.

The USA imports 10% of it's imported oil from the M.E. Canada is our largest supplier of Imported oil.
It's market forces which are driving up the price of oil, not a bunch of muslims in the M.E.

Europe, the UK,France, China, Asia and Japan depend on M.E. oil far more than we do.

In fact, at $60 plus a barrel, American oil companies can triple their efforts in Alberta's tar sand pit. We could concievably eliminate any imports from the ME at this price.
We also have considerable tar sand deposits in Alaska, along with regular oil deposits. And there are plenty of fluffy birds to soak up any oil spills with their absorbant down, so there shouldn't be any worries about drilling there. (That's what those anti- drilling comercials keep telling us)

In Europe petrol is over 4.00 pounds sterling a gallon your fuel seems dirt cheap to me even at $3.00 a gallon.

She is already dead except no one in the Washington Press Corp have the courage to tell her.
