Bush is tied to big oil

It isn't just my imagination, in the last two weeks gasoline prices have risen by 15 to 20 cents per gallon. There haven't been any complaints about this from the Bush administration. The reason is the Republican presidential ticket is just too friendly with major oil producers to be concerned. The next time you fill up your vehicle and have to dig a little deeper to pay for it, just remember who has ties to "big oil". Keep this in mind while you're voting on election day. I'm sure a lot of people will.

Yeah, Bush obviously doesn't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the US economy... as long as his big oil buddies are making a killing. IT'S A CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU!!!

Maybe it's just my imagination, but opec voted weeks ago to cut supplies and thus skyrocket the price of oil during its traditional peak time. It's called e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c-s. The administration's decision not to dig into the oil reservers is a good one: It is there for a time of crisis. Not for when you and I have to pay an extra $20/month for gas.

a few months ago, before prices went up, Democrats were saying how Bush would lower prices in order to help himself politically. Now they are saying that he is driving prices up, to help his oil cronies. I bet if prices stayed the same they would say that is for some other scheme of his.

Let me ask you this, how exactly does the President control oil prices? I want you to give me a reasonable explaination, because you never gave one, you just implied that he could.

The fact of the matter is, Bush can't control oil prices. He never could. Gas prices went up when Clinton was in office as well. Do you think that HE was trying to help oil companies? No. Every president wants LOWER prices if anything, but the fact is that we have no control over oil prices because OPEC controls that, and they just cut production, which has led to the price surge. But of course you don't think that that was the REAL cause, the REAL cause just HAD to have been Bush because Bush is responsible for every bad thing in the US....

HIGHTOWER: Push for Real Corporate Reform
By Jim Hightower, AlterNet
May 24, 2004
Perhaps you remember that only a couple of years ago, George W was in a public tizzy over the multibillion-dollar financial scandals pouring out of the executive suites of Wall Street and America's largest corporations.

Ripped-off investors were howling for blood and the stories of corporate corruption were on the front page – so George "Reformerman" Bush lept to the rescue. He loudly demanded tough new rules to govern greedy CEOs, and he handpicked William Donaldson to serve as the new top cop on the Wall Street beat.

Two years later... Where's Reformerman? There he is – behind the scenes at the SEC. But he's taken off his reformer cape. He's now quietly trying to undercut his top cop and to water down those tough new governance rules he once demanded!

Donaldson naively thought that Bush really wanted to crack down on corporate finagling. So he has proposed several new rules, including one that would allow shareholders to choose a few independent board members, rather than having all of a corporation's board handpicked by the CEO.

Oh, the shrieks of horror that this caused among CEOs. Hence, the Business Roundtable – the lobbying front for CEOs of America's largest corporations – has swarmed the SEC. Its lobbyists are demanding a substitute rule that guts Donaldson's reform, turning the shareholders' vote for independent board members into a sham.

George the Reformer is siding with the CEOs, even dispatching his treasury secretary, John Snow (a former leader of the Business Roundtable, by the way) to lobby Donaldson and other SEC officials to vote for the sham. We need not be surprised, since Bush has been busy raising millions of dollars in campaign funds from these same CEOs.

Donaldson, however, has not yet buckled to Bush and the lobbyists. To buck him up, call his office and ask that he enact real reform by supporting shareholders, not CEOs: 202-942-0100.

the left is rife with it. No matter what happens they will invent some conspiracy. Prices down, he's doing it for the election. Prices up, he's doing it for big oil. They'll do whatever they can to justify themselves.

..34% being bigger than 54% and all....

That second link was a nice one. The one that further debunked you.

It Doesnt matter who you vote for, Gas will never go lower than about $1.50 a gallon, in fact it could hit $4.00 in about 5-years,maybe more!.
Around 9/04 or 10/04 the price will drop to about $1.70/gallon so Bush can say he negotiated with OPEC to raise production .(a re-election scheme!).
Then it will hover around $ 1.90/Gallon until 6/05 then gradually increase.
The truth about oil is the world is running dangerously low, China is sucking dry the middle-east supply, gearing up for war against the U.S.
and the U.S. now has control via Israel to Iraqs supply of oil, to fuel the
coming war with china.
In the future the automobile will be powered by a mix of carbon monoxide/hydrogen(CoH2),carbon Dioxide and water is the emissions
,It will take 100 years before the internal combustion engine is phased out.
Then comes the all electric Transcapacitive carbroXcells.
In 2055 A Gas/? mixture is $14.25/gallon, However Mileage for average auto is 70mpg, and milk is $31.00/gal.
Just wait and see!,(If your young that is!).

Okay Oil Prices keep going up....less ppl are gonna wonna drive.......our economy is going to go down very fast!!!
