I think the creation of a false shortage of Elmo TMX toys for this Christmas is a ploy by the Democrats.

If they're getting this low just for congressional races then imagine how low they'll get for the '08 Presidential race.

I'm really surprised the DNC hasn't been pushing this conspiracy theory more forcefully.

Between Rove's Weather Machine turning off the Hurricane Generator, The President's ability to manipulate the price of gasoline at will, and DIEBOLD, we have this election in the bag, baby!

I heard from a friend of mine whose girlfriend knew a guy that has a brother who heard from a direct source that Halliburton (everyone knows, of course, Dick Cheney used to work there and owns millions of dollars of shares) is doing this so they can get more no-bid contracts during the next war.

If they're getting this low just for congressional races then imagine how low they'll get for the '08 Presidential race. If Dick Cheney runs for President in 2008, they'll be giving away a free handgun with every tankful just to get you to come in and fill up!

I am not complaining and I am not with the thread police, I'm just wondering why different sources use a different title for the exact same A.P. article.
I just posted this with a different title here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1708508/posts
It makes the search feature almost irrelevant.

The next question is when is Karl Rove gonna announce the capture or death Osama. He is just waiting for the optimal time.

The poll question wording was incredibly biased... Democrats answered "Yes", Republicans and Independents answered "No".
"Just your best guess, do you think – [ROTATED: the Bush administration has deliberately manipulated the price of gasoline so that it would decrease before this fall’s elections, (or do you think) the recent decline in the price of gasoline has not been due to any manipulation by the Bush administration]?"

Love between men and women is just a ploy to live and sleep with each other.
No matter how real one's feelings -- it's all a scam. Don't be fooled!
To: ShadowDancer
I'm a republican. I always vote republican. But I believe the prices are being manipulated for the election cycle.

So they can peddle the same story 4000 times and the "reporters" can go on sipping their lattes uninterrupted and no one will be the wiser for it.

Well, it's not an effective political ploy for those of us who own oil company stocks! :-\
To: ShadowDancer
The retail price of gasoline has plunged by 50 cents, or 17 percent, over the past month to average $2.38 a gallon nationwide... crude-oil futures soared to more than $78 a barrel in mid-July. But by summer's end, these fears had largely dissipated. On Monday, November crude futures settled at $61.45 a barrel. The drop in crude oil price is 22%, the drop in gasoline prices is 17%. Looks like a pretty direct correlation to me.

I'm really surprised the DNC hasn't been pushing this conspiracy theory more forcefully. Why bother, when you have ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, AP, Reuters, MSNBC, and nearly every "educator" in America doing it for you?

Between Rove's Weather Machine turning off the Hurricane Generator, The President's ability to manipulate the price of gasoline at will, and DIEBOLD, we have this election in the bag, baby! Actually the gasoline, natural gas, water and soylent green valves are all located right next to the weather generator in the WH basement.

42%. Wow!
We are really getting close to critical mass. If the democrats are successful in pushing up the number of morons much higher, Republicans won't stand a chance in the future.
