The title is just too funny............

They could try this:

Bush’s Failed Social Policies Lead To Record Profits For Middle Class.

They must have software that produces such utter nonsense.

I really wish them luck with this strategy. Especially since gas prices have dropped over a dollar a gallon over the past year.

So they won't mind if we drill ANWR,the Gulf, and offshore Ca. in order to drive down the price of oil, right?

So Bush should have enacted policies that what, forcibly conviscate the profits of oil companies? Or Bush should have threatened with death anyone who drives more than 10 miles a day since it was CONSUMER DEMAND, not Bush, that bumped up profits.

I honest to God can't believe there's a single thinking soul in America who would vote for these fools.

Tax the oil companies and put them out of business. That will help increase the supply of oil - apparently.

I don't care if I pay $10 a gallon for gasoline -- just so long as those greedy oil companies don't make any record profits!!!!!!!!!

Nancy Pelosi still wants to push for excess profit taxes on the oil companies. She can't wait to get her hands on the money, and doesn't care if the consumers end up financing the tax. She thinks that the consumers are too dumb to blame the Democrats. I hope she isn't right.

Yup. Apparently record losses by the oil companies would be healthier for the Republic.

We're dealing with economic illiterates.

That's what Bill O'Reilly has been suggesting.

With gas prices falling the way they are, I hope that Bush continues to blunder like this.

Democrats can't seem to grasp the concept of markets and
supply and demand.

O'Reilly is a populist who will say whatever he thinks is most popular with his audience. Don't get me wrong, I generally think he's an okay guy. But you can just see him adopting the simple-minded nonsense the rabble believes in order to keep his ratings up. O'Reilly is a really smart guy, too smart to sincerely hold some of the views he holds like the utterly untenable position that the oil companies are in some conspiracy to drive up prices. He understands market forces, supply and demand and surely the fact that over 30 Senate and House investigations have never uncovered any evidence of such collusion.

Anyway, O'Reilly is a decent guy and does some good work, but his constant pandering to sloppy thinking to keep his audience flattered at adopting his views is nauseating.

Not only do democrats count on an ignorant base, they presume it - and this is what verifies their blatant prejudice and disdain for minorities: Namely that minorities are stupid, ignorant and incapable of helping themselves so it falls to the democrats' good graces to save them from the Republican bogeymen.
