I thought it was oil company greed? These idiots need to pick a lane.

"Beers also blamed the Iraq war for increased oil prices, noting that there has been a “sevenfold increase in the price of oil since the Iraq war began.”"

Six-fold of that increase occurred once the Democrats took control of both Houses of Congress!

Same old gang running Obama. Kerry and Klinton operatives. No changes in this administration. You will see all the familiar faces in the House in the D.C. Hood when Obama is elected. Same ole gang. No difference. So much for change, and new, and different. Nope. Same old Marxist group in charge of the grand Soviet government.

If we WEREN’T there, gasoline prices would be substantially higher.

Good Lord, how moronic to suggest such a thing.

Ummm, gas is expensive because we don’t drill here and the dollar is weak. Solutions:
1) Drill offshore and in ANWR
2) Oil shale/sand and coal to oil technology
3) Build more refineries (and nuclear plants while you’re at it)
4) Stop spending ludicrous amounts of money that isn’t there
5) Stop the federal reserve from printing so much useless money and forcefully keeping interest rates artificially low

Any of those would help, but hey, when does the government ever do anything that makes sense, and when does it EVER give up regulatory power?

Beers is the same jerk that engineered the Clark-McCain military fiasco.

Nobody has threatened Iran. Hillary said she would retaliate if Iran started something. Iran is doing all the threatening—several times a day.

Nonsense, Palosi said they had a plan in 2006. It just hasn't happened yet.

Beers just proves that we “little stupid people” have the answer to the problem:

drill for our own oil!! End energy dependence. Sheesh!

Beers and Obama think the answer is to kiss Iran’s butt and allow them to blow Israel off the map. Ridiculous!

Better for them than linking it to Democrat energy policies.

Didn’t Obama say that if Iran attacked Israel he’d blow them up?

So in other words, Obama asserts that we should not have invaded Iraq because of oil. First off, I thought the war was for oil, where is it then? Secondly, isn’t this a tacit admission that dependence on foreign oil can influence our foreign policy. According to Barak O, Saddam could hold the U.S. ransom because of oil.

Well then, I have a solution, drill here, drill now.

That’s like Obama saying he won’t talk about another candidate’s patriotism so don’t question his. He is unpatriotic and it should be shouted loudly.

Look at the price increases from late 2000 to late 2006 and again from late 2006 to today. The percentage is much higher since the liberals took over Congress in 2006. This one is on them. The dims even promised (and failed to keep this promise that many idiot voters believed when voting from them) to bring gas prices down. Best solution to this problem is to vote them out of office in November.

'Rand Beers'
Whose real first name is Random. He was named that in memory of how he was conceived one stormy night in the parking lot of a 7-11.

He has two younger brothers, one named Free the other Cold, and a younger sister named Alotta.

One of my co-workers told me the reason the price is going up is Bush’s fault; he wants it to go up, since he owns stock in oil companies. I later sent her an e-mail detailing the cost of gas in other countries, where it costs much more than here, and I never got an answer back.
