never - because doing that would be the worst thing ever... and no one in

Oh yes they are. But it doesn't mean that they any dumber than
previous administrations. At some point, maybe $5 - $6 a gallon, they
will do something that will do no real good. It's a catch 22 - Doing
it early will cause all kinds of problems, and doing late won't solve
any.

I would welcome that, but not for financial reasons. I'm sure that
shortly
after he suggested or implemented the idea, one of his oily friends would
invite him to visit an oil rig in the Gulf, ride in a real live
hel-i-o-copter (pretending to fly it), and put on a hard hat & pretend to
be
an oil rig guy. I suspect they'd arrange for him to "slip and fall in the
ocean", by accident, of course.

Should those that are calling for prosecution of Pat Robertson (for his
stupid remarks about Hugo Chavez) be going after you now? After all,
it sounds like you just threatened the president.


No, I'm simply explaining what his employers will do to their pawn if he
gets out of hand.

Not knowing of a President Idiot, I cannot answer the question.
However, price controls would have the opposite effect of that
intended, they would make gasoline scarce by removing the incentive to
produce more oil.

Nice theory, but the recent price hikes are in no way connected with
"incentives to produce more". You know that.

Reads to me as if it would be some of Bush's "oily friends," and that
group would not include Doug, who was only guessing what some of those
"oily friends" might do to their puppet if he interfered in any way with
their ability to gouge the public.

Sounds like Doug supports the idea. Robertson said that he thought the
government should assassinate Chaves - didn't say the he, himself,
would have anything to do with it. And I have seen a couple of
articles by Bush-hating attorneys that are trying to twist "threat"
laws and suggest that Roberston should be prosecuted.

I figure if it's good enough to prosecute Roberston for vocalizing his
assinine ideas, then it's good enough for Doug. :)

And that is what those "oily friends" are doing: they are gouging the
public.

It appears that it doesn't matter to Doug who does it, or why. "[He]
would welcome" someone killing the president.

I am just applying the same standards to idiotic remarks from a
Bush-hater that are being applied by some to idiotic remarks by a
Bush-lover.

You have the right to remain silent. You should. :)

doing it late or early will not solve any problems, as the tankers will just
sit there and refuse to off load crude at below market prices... this was
done before and it failed...

these high gas prices are not that bad for the U.S. , it's a wake up call
and it will FORCE car manufacturers to look at other renewable energy
sources... it will force people to take public transportation and finally
unlock the traffic gridlocks... --- and best of all, it will make more
people walk and ride bikes, thus decreasing our obesity...

Curtis, using the only method available to me, I suggested to him twice that
he not take the job. He didn't listen. Now, he has to put up with employers
who are much bigger than he is. Sort of like the mob (which doesn't really
exist). He's their problem now. Really, if they want to do the country a
favor, they'd need to invite Bush, Cheney, what's his name the speaker of
the house, and one or two others for a one-way oil rig trip. Then, we'd end
up with the postmaster general, if I recall the chain of replacement
correctly. There might be some hope.

Curtis, what do you suppose would happen if you agreed to do some VERY
important work for the Gambino family, and then you decided not to do it?
I'm simply predicting what any sane adult KNOWS will happen.

Indeed. We're being gouged by OPEC and by the Big Oil companies, and
they're laughing with each jingle of the gallon counter at the local pump.

This is far worse terrorism than Osama and his pals could ever perpetrate,
and we have a POTUS who has neither the brains nor the balls to see it for
what it is and do something about it. But, then, why would we expect Bush
to economically penalize his family and friends in the oil business, and
jeopardize his relationships with the Saudis?

Meanwhile, the simple-minded righties defend "the free market," but there
is no "free market," not for oil. It is a manipulated market.

Perhaps this is exactly what OBL was planning all along. Lure a moron into a
war, knowing full well that it would cause the price of oil to go through
the roof.

What? And rob environmentalists of their wet dream of pricing SUV owners
out of their gas-guzzling monster-mobiles through high gas prices?

You should be CANONIZING Bush, you moron: he's giving you what you've
wanted for fifty years!

No kidding... Where are all those friggin idiots? Hell, they want us
out of boats too! The one's that say we have been spoiled by
underpriced gas and that we should be paying the same as europeans?
