"We raise this issue because, once again, Congress has dragged oil company chiefs to Washington for Star Chamber hearings where the innocent are presumed guilty before they even take a seat."

Someone raised a good point. When the Democrats told President Bush to tell the Saudis to raise output, they basically admitted that increasing the supply will lower the price. So, I am patiently waiting for the Democrats to tell President Bush to tell American oil companies to increase output and refining capacity since both would obviously lower the price.

On another matter, the Democrats are telling us that we want "change." So, if energy and food costs are spiraling upwards, and people vote for the politicians who will do nothing to alleviate the problem, then they obviously don't want change.

This is the assumption that the Democrats have any sort of integrated belief system. They believe what they believe for the moment it's being said and then it is forgotten. The country is being run by psychotics.

Congress makes problems for this country then complains till the next election about the problems they’ve made, but do absolutely nothing to solve the “problem”. They find a scapegoat and pile their waste divel on the scapegoat. Right now it’s the oil companies and their GREED. I wish there was a way to find out just how many of our elected royals receive oil money from the arab lands and venezuela. I know former defense chief, cohen is on the board of a few chinese companies, so he gets money from there, and there are a lot of others, I imagine.
