It won’t reduce oil prices 1 cent but it will make liberals feel good about themselves.

Is there any mystery left to why all the American oil companies are headed to Dubai and setting up shop?

Authorize the Justice Department to bring charges of price fixing against countries that belong to the OPEC oil cartel. Too funny for words.

Will Republicans have the spine to fight this and properly educate the media and the public? We shall see...

And this will make the price of a gallon of gas go down??
To: Blue Turtle
The shortages will follow, pi$$ing and moaning will begin.
But hey, don’t we feel good because we got back at them.
Democrat policy.

Require traders to put up more collateral in the energy futures markets to curb speculation.
I do agree with this! The rest of the bill is just ignorant.

This was a disaster when they tried it during the Carter years and they (should) remember that.
They just want to get their grubby hands on more of our (that's who actually pays it) tax money.

Oil to $250 a barrel.
This is just the tip of this iceberg. Just think if Obambi gets in office and we have a democrat Congress.

They’re determined to destroy the industry.
I think it’s their strategy to make things worse and convince the American public that the only way to make things better is to seize control.
