Are Americans going to fall for the $100 gas rebate bill that allows drilling in the ANWR?

This administration is a day late and a dollar short on ideas. Americans have wised up now. FOX News blames everything on congress for their problems, or this week the FISA courts, and Democrats for a proposal to abolish FEMA. The GOP is engaging in the blame game big time, whoo, whoo, whoo, whine, and hiss an moan, oh woeies me, poor right wingers. They need Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh to ride in and save their mojo.

I JUST PAID OFF MY HONDA INSIGHT.  IT HAS A 10 GALLON GAS TANK.  BUT IF BUSH'S GAS PRICES GOTO $6 A GALLON IT'S STILL GOING TO HURT TO PAY $60 EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND.

The chances that big oil has tried to influence the election by selling cut rate gas are pretty high. I am sure they can see that a Republican House and Senate is definitely an advantage to them. As is, the the Dems will make some gains, but no where near what they would if gas was above $3.\n\nI don't think they would let it be so obvious by letting the price rise to $3 by Jan 1. But, $3 by July 1, 2007? Very likely.

I am niether republican nor democrat. I am for best choice. But I am not surprised that the gas prices are on the rise again now that the elections are over. Republicans will be out of a job soon and need the profits to sustain their lifestyle.

They say at the start of vacation season. $100.00 Dollars a barrel is their goal. I have heard though that was a farce too, since they move it by the tanker. I saw that on the news..

No, they'll just b*tch about how the price of gas would really go up with him in office. You know how much they hate oil men. They'd have to vote Republican in that case. Wanna be my running mate?

Last year, there was a proposal to sell off some of the National Parks to pay for hurricane relief and to help pay for some of the national debt.  I'm sure that one day there will be a group of like minded people in government who will approve of this measure. Save your pennies, one day you might have an opportunity to be the proud owner of a former national park.  \nThe following is copied from the link below:\n________________________________\nNational parks for sale? \nA proposal by House Resources Chairman Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, would sell 15 national parks to raise money for the government. Pombo insists the draft bill was aimed at convincing lawmakers to raise the revenue instead by drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. Among the National Park Service sites suggested for sale: \n\n-- Eugene O'Neill National Historical Site, Danville \n\n-- Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, Texas \n\n-- Fort Bowie National Historical Site, Arizona \n\n-- Frederick Law Olmsted National Historical Site, Massachusetts \n\n-- Mary McLeod Bethune Council House, District of Columbia \n\n-- Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, South Dakota \n\n-- Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial, Pennsylvania \n\n-- Thomas Stone National Historical Site, Maryland \n\n-- Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve, Alaska \n\n-- Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Alaska \n\n-- Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Alaska \n\n-- Kobuk Valley National Park, Alaska \n\n-- Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska \n\n-- Noatak National Preserve, Alaska \n\n-- Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, Alaska

Oil and other natural resources valuble to the US

Of course it is his fault... he is an oil tycoon! Oil companies and oil producing nations are benefiting from this increase and Mr. Bush is personally a close friend of many oil producing countries and oil companies. The Democrats have blocked oil exploration in the US because it is too expensive to drill in the USA due to the nature of the land.. even with today's technology.. and that's why American companies prefer to drill in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Libya and others. If you think it is cheaper to get oil from the ground beneath the USA then the government would've done that 200 years ago. It is too simple (why purchase something from someone if you can produce it cheaper).\nThen someone is talking about supply and demand, my dear nothing has changed in the world for it to demand that much of oil except that the US army needs and consumes lots of oil to operate... and oil producing nations –which Mr. Bush has close ties with- have increased their productions to please Mr. Bush and his friends.. some countries went to their daily max and some are considering building more refineries. They are taking your money and they are very happy with that.\nHere is a headline for you: USATODAY.com - Big oil tanks up: Exxon's profit nears $10B.\n\nYou should thank the democrats for their outstanding job... they don't want you to pay more! The republicans are good in hypnotizing people and making them believe in what they want them to believe in. Simply they are a group of magicians but not politicians. I'm sad to say that they are ruining and screwing up a great nation.

id say keep them money will come...  I'm in Louisville KY- by the end of this summer it will be almost $5 a gallon- its already $2.85+  don't loose it. we still have a untapped source in Alaska.  you know as well as i do that our politicians wont tap it until the rest of the world is dry.  then when they finally do it will be ridiculous. you will be rich.

the American Dream is getting harder and harder to achieve here, that it is almost down right impossible. Its due to our inadequate leadership (i.e. President Bush) and poor decisions/judgements made (i.e. the Iraqi war). I'm an extremely patriotic American (I love my country and their citizens.. sry I cant say the same for George w. Bush) and I suggest you just stay where you are. Things in the US arent going so great...\n\nby the way... gas in my city is reaching $3.62

we were lied to.\n\nWhat is the price of gasoline today?  Who is making record profits from these prices?(not me)\n\nSeems pretty silly to have investigated Clinton's Whitewater losses when you look at Haliburton's gains.....

Fill your tanks only half full uneless you need to make a long trip.You do not need to stock Bush's & Cheeny's gas on your shelf.This will cost the oil company's $3000,000,000.00 a day and will leave only half the room in the supply tanks To but in new gas.The tankers will be stacked off the coast trying to unload.I remember coffee going to $5.00 a pound in the seventys.People stopped buying and in two weeks the price was down to $1.50 a pound.Lets go Amercians the power is in your purse's and wallets "Let's Roll"

Yes, many thin this is the precusor to the NAU or for those unfamilar with this term, the North American Union.  So all of those worried about immigration really shouldn't be, it has been the plan for a while.  Conspiracy theorists claim that the currency of the NAU will be termed the Amero.  If this happens it will be interesting to see the responses of Americans as we have typically idolised individualism, independence, and vigiliance.

Republicans can pass it in the lame duck session.  If the libbies don't block it with a filibuster.\n\nAnd it will hurt them a lot yes.\n\nLibbies need to end their concerns about off shore drilling. Its perfectly safe.  I worry more about over-fishing.\n\nOK BEER TIME!  Who wants one too??

We'll spend $6 or $7 a gallon for gas because:\n\n- We're willing to.\n- Supply and Demand will dictate that price or higher.\n\nI saw a segment on 60 Minutes a couple weeks ago about huge reserves of oil in Canada. The reserves reside within soil.

I think that most Americans have stopped buying "unnecessary" fuel, but they are making more than enough money back off of just the necessary fuel (fuel that is needed for daily life, not all of us can walk to work/carpool)... if you have to have it, you have to have it... cuting consumption further isn't an option for most...\n\nSo what happens when capitiolism fails... seems like we are reaching that point with oil... increasing costs could have a crippling effect on our economy through inflation (especially if costs continue to go up)... is it worth it?\n\nThe reserves should have been released a while back... that's just silly, but that's also a Bush...
