It must be awful to have to pay $3.50 a gallon for gas!!! Try living here, I live in N.Ireland and currently the price is £0.94 a LITER (approx. $1.88 a liter), on mainland UK the prices are around £1 a liter.
Seriously guys, you might think you are hard done by, but I would love to pay so little - one of the reasons you don't see as many powerful cars over here is due to the cost of gas!

That's a good point, you see a lot of those ugly little 2 door specs over there, or a bunch of people driving scooters.

WE NEED TO MAKE CORN INTO OUR NEW FUEL!!!!!!!

[quote=saden1;305572]What about that whole behind close door meeting Chaney had with the Energy companies? You know, the one whose transcripts they fought to keep sealed. It reeks of impropriety.[/quote]What does that have to do with Cheney making this so called profit from the oil co. a It was a closed door meeting with all parties attending listed for public information. The President only has to disclose who attened the meeting and not the substance when these meetings go on. If they had to disclose everything that was discussed at the white house how could they get any thing done. The Dems. made a big issue of this knowing that the Pres. would fight them on the issue as if they gave them the information then they would have set a presidence (spelling). Then the Dems would use this to make them disclose other meetings and nothing would ever get done. This is not new and was practiced by all presidents so they could get stuff done. The Dems. then by making this an issue could then point their finger and say see they are with big oil and they are hiding this info from us. I guess it worked by post.

You have got to be kidding the Bush family is from Texas where W used to be a CEO of a small oil company Spetrum 7, that was aquired by Harken,(bush sold his stock at the perfect time and made a boat load of money) Cheney worked for Haliburton (Cheney sold his stock and made even more money). You dont seriously believe that they still dont have close ties and business dealings with both of those industries?

Once again they have sold their interest so how do they profit from high gas prices? They don't because they have sold their interest.

By my calculations, that adds up to about $7.80 per gallon.

My point is they have pre-established relationships with companies that are seeing record profits due to the current administration. If you dont think that all of this is fueled by greed and the lining of their own pockets, than you are pretty naive.

Thats my point, I hear this all the time but no one can ever say how they are linning their pockets. Just at some point that both have been in the business so its "assumed" they are in some how. The Democrats have control of both house and what have they done. When the Rep. had control of both houses the Dems. had no problem making gas prices an issue and they had all the CEO's of big oil co. come to Washington making a big deal about the issue. I guess now that they have control they do not want to make it an issue as it would make them look bad.
