The election is over, and oil prices continue to drop. Did Karl Rove & Cheney forget to flip the "off" switch?

Either that or they weren't in control in the 1st place. I think the latter is just a little more believable, though I'm sure there will be plenty of Libs who believe the former.

By now i think every one is as riled up for their own cause as it gets,  some of us are tired of the same old attack adds as we see very little real differences in those running since they all authorise attack and mudd slinging, its like chose the lesser of two evils. I made my decisions a couple of months ago on all the issues. While gas prices may influence some only history will tell if it was connected to the elections or not. I think OPEC looks for excuses to exploit us, anyway.

An intelligent question! I'm not sure if he lost the election or if people just got tired of the way the war is going and he hasn't done anything differently to try and change that.

it was crap, he didnt promise to do anything really, what about tax cuts for the rich?why doesnt he give some to the poor. But about american using to much oil??? well what does he expect us to pay a fortune for a vehicle and then just let it sit around? The dude has problems and needs to get his priorities straight!

We haven't gotten the oil flowing yet.  Halliburton hasn't made enough money yet.  The troops will be there until at least the end of Bush's administration (and that end can't come fast enough!).

Excellent question.\n\nBut Bush and Cheney have got it all wrong again - the turbines are facing the wrong way and the earth is slowing down.\n\nWould write more but I'm off the invent a 25 hour clock.

Are you aware we don't even know who make our energy policy. Oh, Cheney and some of his budies.  I wonder if the record profits the oil companies are making could have anything to do with Cheney and his secret policy energy making group?

Nope hes not done yet... stay bent over hes not done... Big Oil with there record profits... and the government still giving them money too... hahahaha Its just a coincidence Bush and family made there money from oil... pay no attention. And what about Cheny's company cleaning up the mess we make in Iraq... yep all a big coincidence...

Of course its BUSH'S WAR!!! \nHe and Cheney have planned \nrevenge since the day they \nstole the lst election...wouldn't \nput it past those 2 creeps to have\nbeen behind 9-11 all along...\n\nWasn't it strange that the PRESIDENT \nwas scared sh*tless to go before the \n9-11 commission ALONE and needed \nCheney to HOLD his hand?

The Vice President presides over the Senate and casts the deciding vote when a tie occurs.  So for now, Oil Companies will make the decisions when Republicans and Democrats can't compromise.

No, you can blame Bush for his energy policy and his inaction. When the same thing happened to Clinton (the prices went up) he released the strategic reserves causing a glut and the prices came down. Bush is in California touting something that isn't going to be feasible for years. I do think that he and his family are profiting by this.

Not Cheney - he is not the power behind the throne, he is the power AND the throne, with The Bush his minion.  Are we witnessing the collapse of the house of cards at last?

Arms manufacturers and the Oil industry...just like are current White house had planned all along...as long as the mid east is in a constant fight  the prices of Oil always remain volatile...in the end the poor die and the rich thrive.

I am chilled, thanks.\n\nI for one realize that the Bush administration are using this as a distraction from the real issues that should be in the public focus. Because we have mid-terms coming up in November, the Republicans need two or three bulls*** platforms with which to enrage their 'base'.\n\nI'm glad to say that so far it doesn't seem to be working. This issue was supposed to start a national debate that would last until the elections. Now that we're almost into May it seems to have been largely forgotten.

No.\n\nIf Dick Cheney met with the three major oil companies, it would have been in the form of a hunting trip with the CEOs.  One of them would have been shot.  We would have heard about it in the news.\n\nDick Cheney is the Elmer Fudd of the Republican Party.

The Race is over..DEMOCRATS are in control. George Allen will concede tonight or tomrrow.\nThe troops wll come home, the economy will come back to life, minimum wage will be raised...America is back in business.

time to quit gloating over the mistake basically good people made while in a state of extreme stress and high anxiety.  Bush/Cheney et al did an excellent job of exploiting the valid fears of the American People to their self aggrandizing advantage. it's wrong to continue to blame the American People for being so fearful since making and keeping them fearful was the campaign tactic.  give the majority of Americans some credit for having finally shaken off the Rovian thrall and coming to their senses.\n\nPS. reply to edit.  i did say the MAJORITY of Americans as evidenced by the recent Dem wins.  the neoCONNED will never admit they've been duped.  honesty (even with themselves) is not a neoCONNED strong suit.\n\nPPS.  just so you know... i do understand your frustration and disappointment with that majority, how long it took for them to recognize the neoCON job.
