Yeah, the GOP controls world commodity prices. Could it POSSIBLY be the fact that oil is dropping on the world commodity markets that's causing these price drops and the fact that US inventories are high, and not that Karl Rove the evil genius somehow is able to manipulate the world's investors into doing what he wants? And if he could, why wouldn't he have done this months ago before the political damage to the president could take hold?

Bought gas at Wal-Mart in Mineral Wells, Texas yesterday.
87 Octane was going for $2.29/gal.

“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,” Cafferty suggested just a few days earlier on the August 30 “Situation Room.”

Can he explain why prices were going up while the '04 campaign was in progress?

Someone needs to explain the law of Supply and Demand to these idiots! How dense can you get?

How did Bush get the entire World to Cooperate, including the Chinese and Iranians?

Prices go up, Big Oil is gouging us. Prices go down, Big Oil is making sure Evil Republicans stay in power. Nice and unfalsifiable.

The reason why oil prices are falling is very simple: The high profits that oil companies make are encouraging investment in the oil industry, increasing supply, and forcing down the price.

If the Dems had it their way, there would be no profits in the oil industry, and there would be no increased oil supply.

And by the way, you don't get that kind of a result from a monopolistic industry. It only happens in a competitive industry, so the fact that oil prices are softening is proof of the success of the GOP policy of letting the market work.

Jack Cafferty is one of the biggest Clymers on television....He probably listens to Alex Jones at night.

It's a conspiracy!

Gas prices always go up for the summer vacation season. It's called supply and demand.

[Dazedcat]

Well I guess the best test is to just watch the prices leading up to Election Day, then look at the prices again at years' end.

If they sink like a stone........then go back up........oh wait never mind, "free markets". Yeah that's it.

Gas fell about a nickel on the futures market today.

Gas is down over 40 cents a gallon in a couple weeks by my house. It is one price on the way to work and less on the way home. Same thing happens the next day, and the next, and the next. Hell, it fell 6 cents while I had dinner on Saturday night.

DAMN YOU KARL ROVE!
