Are the dems wrong on oil?

Dems understand supply and demand. But they also understand that most Americans are woefully undereducated and willfully ignorant on economics.\n\nThey also understand that they can demagogue an issue, in confederacy with the main-stream media, to paint a false picture of what is going on. This is so they can regain power. They do not care what they have to say, what they have to do, or who they have to harm to get that power.\n\nSo right now their big evil enemy is the oil industry. Oh my God, they are making record profits! Knowledgeable people know that the oil companies are not gouging, not making evil greedy profits. Most of them don't even get 10% return on sales profit margin.\n\nAs for record profits! or prices! Let's look at other records! People are making record wages! paying record taxes! their homes are at record values! bread and milk are at record prices! \n\nAnd the American public (mostly taught by members of the ultra-leftist teachers unions in public schools) are too ignorant to recognize the truth.\n\nThe GOP has been little better on this subject, especially with the President launching an investigation. He knows better. He needed to speak truth against the lies and puffery, instead of conceding to the false political rhetoric of his enemies.

Idealogically, the Democratic Party of today is meant to put the people before profits. However, the name of this party has changed. For example, Republicans will brag that Lincoln was Republican, but what was Republican then is now the Democratic party. And I must disagree that Democrats go against anthing that Republicans try to do, it is just that the Democrats care more about the people of the United States than oil and money unlike our Republican leaders.

Yes, though the definition of "we" is important here.  Oil, like any other resource, does not rightfully belong to a government.  Seeing how horrifically government wastes everything else, it's obvious that bureaucrats are the last people who ought to be in charge of a precious commodity.\nThe hysteria over "Big Oil" is a joke, albeit a dangerous one.  Get the government the feck out of businesses' business, and then we can talk realistically about energy options.\nhttp://www.perc.org/publications/articles/Crichtonspeech.php

YES it is all about oil. It will not change unless there is a revolution or Revelation. Our children will continue to DIE to support the "status quo" failed petroleum policy of GWB and Company.\n\nRead the White House energy policy signed by Dick Cheney. Not much about getting out of the Oil Economy here:\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/energy/summaries.pdf

yes, essentially. they are just betting on the future supply of oil, which seems dumb when right now the price should be much lower. unfortunately this is not anti-american. capitalism is the american way and overall, it is a great system. we just have to live with a few unfortunate excesses.

First off, The entire iraqi war on terror was in part to protect the oils assets. Which means the Bush family fortune.\nYes it is a scam. Why else would oil commpany executives and CEOs be questioned and put ontrial and even scolded by our congress. They are making "Not billions" but Trillions of dollars off of common people while our government fabricates things to protect the oil assets. Are they truly in danger? Who knows.\nIts one huge cover up. Europe is used to paying 6 dollars per gallon. So we don't get any sympothy from them at all. They say quite your snivveling. but the truth is we are the ones getting scammed big time! is there anything we common folks can do about it, probably not or at least I am not sure.

Look who's running the country...a bunch of oil freaks.  Everytime the price of oil goes up they are cashing in!  They don't want to come up with alternative fuel sources because there is no money in that for them.

I've always wondered that.  He does criticize Bush from time to time, but the only thing I've ever heard him say that sounded less than conservative was that the oil companies shouldn't get tax breaks and should be investigated for collusion.\n\nI wish he would just say "I'm a conservative" instead of pretending.

WRITE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE AND ASK WHY THEY WILL NOT RELEASE OUR OIL RESERVES???? THIS WOULD HELP BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF GAS!!! ALSO ASK WHY WE HAVE NOT BUILT ANY MORE REFINERIES IN DECADES!! THE OIL COMPANIES PURCHASED ONE A FEW YEARS BACK AND SHUT IT DOWN AND REFUSE TO OPEN IT AGAIN!!The soaring profits have already attracted the attention of many members of Congress. On Tuesday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert warned companies that any price gouging is "unacceptable, and any company who does it will be prosecuted." He urged the oil companies to explain to the American public what they are doing to bring down the cost of oil and natural gas. And he urged them to build new refineries and pipelines. THERE HAS BEEN NO NEW OIL REFINERIES BUILT IN THE USA SINCE 1976! WHY HUGE PROFITS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHIGN ABOUT IT!!!

If republicans found oil under there than its all over for that place. \nLet me explain what they would do:\nFirst they would hire some dumb people to trash talk about Democrats. So by this people would be distracted and before you know old faithful would be oil Field.

yes i do think that way coz it is mail&#92;nly wanting the oil found in the middle east. n also that an estimation proves that after 30 years to cum, there will be no oil anywhere around the world. therefore the US is trying to put its policies on the midle east to get the oil from them!!!!
