Karl Rove takes time out from his busy schedule manipulating his hurricane machine to pull the "lower fuel prices" lever on his petrochemical control machine.

Cafferty is too senile to remember the gas price slide October-November last year, just before the elections-- well NJ and VA governors.

Oil prices never fall as rapidly as they went down. So when the price falls below $33 per barrel, then it's time to celebrate and not before.

First Bush didn't care about the 'little guy', so he let prices rise. Now that prices are falling it's a Bush conspiracy. LMAO, the left makes a better comedy team than Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges, Hope and Crosby and a pastle of others all rolled into one.

I hear that one of the big oil companies just announced that they had found a HUGE oil reserve somewhere in the Gulf that is going to be as big as anything in Alaska.

They probably did that to piss off the Dems too.

the wild price swings come from the hedge funds and the speculators.

Yep.

This is Bush's fault.

Infact, I'll let the Dems in on a secret.

This year's "October Surprise" the GOP, orchestrated by Rove of course, is going to unveil it's secret weapon to re-election. If they get 300 House seats and 65 Senate seat the American people will be guarenteed 10 cent gas so long as they retain the new majority.

Don't say you weren't warned Dems...

“You know, if you were a real cynic, you could also wonder if the oil companies might not be pulling the price of gas down to help the Republicans get re-elected in the midterm elections a couple of months away,”

Does he mean unlike how Clinton released oil from the strategic petroleum reserve in 2000 just before the election while Gore was blaming Big Oil?

As I recall, the contracts for that oil went to African-American companies that weren't qualified (one had to rescind the contract), and most of the oil ended up exported to Europe where prices were higher.

Gas prices, barring any real emergency, should be about $2.25 per gal soon.

Some of CNN's "experts" seem to be potheads -- contributing to much short term memory loss and delusional paranoia.

Gas prices $3.10 a gallon GOP loses 25
$3.00 a gallon GOP loses 20
$2.75 a gallon GOP loses 15
$2.50 a gallon GOP loses 10
$2.25 a gallon GOP loses 5
$2.10 a gallon is a psychological relief point and GOP will actually gain 5

Based on national average.

Falling Gas Prices a GOP Conspiracy

A "slow, slightly dimwitted" GOP President can successfully micromanage the world economy, while a "once-in-a-lifetime, exceptionally well-educated, Rhodes scholar" of a Dimocrat can't successfully define the word "is".....

Hmmmmmmm....which party do I want to have controlling the government?

A certain Republican state senator said to a small group of us that gas was going back to 3 bucks on November 8th and I was to agog to tell him not to even joke about that.
