Thank you, Madam Speaker. *You're doing a bang-up job.

How do you imagine Pelosi affected gas prices?

The same way Bush affected gas prices to make his buddies rich.

If you can't describe the precise mechanism by which Pelosi did this, then
your original theory is nonsense, or you just posted it to be annoying

I posted it to demonstrate the absurdity in the notion that the governing
party drives gas prices for profits.- Hide quoted text -

You certainly succeeded in demonstrating the absurdity that either
political party controls gas prices.

Oil companies control gas prices.

The daily laugh is listening to the latest rounds of excuses for high
prices. Too much demand for gas in general, not enough demand for
specific types of gas, turmoil in the mideast, peace and prosperity in
the far east, not enough refinery capacity (please ignore the fact
that we have been shutting refineries routinely for over a decade,
thanks), not enough oil being extracted from the National Parks and
wildlife refuges, the high cost of extracting oil from national parks
adn wildlife sanctuaries.....etc, etc, etc.

Bottom line, really, when all the BS is sliced away, is that the oil
companies are doing exactly what anybody else would do in their stead;
charging every last fricking nickel the market will bear and shorting
supply to create a bidding war. If the practice creates some human
misery and has a negative impact on other businesses not involved in
the refining and distribution of oil---- tough toenails. These people
are in business to make every last dime they possibly can- as are we
all. They shouldn't be expected to sell for less than their product
can bring simply to promote the general welfare of the country and the
economy.
