Kerry and Gas

[ShortStrokeTX]

So Kerry wants to stop diverting oil to the National Reserve and use up the reserve to help lower gas costs. Personally I think that's freaking asinine. I wouldn't mind lower gas costs, I mean I end up paying 30+ to not even fill it up all the way, but eating into the reserve is just retarded. That puts us at the absolutely mercy of everybody we import our oil from. This would turn into a major problem because if they don't like something we do, bam,they shut off the oil. The reserve is there to protect us from that, and when everybody else runs out of oil, we'll still have some. Anyhow, I personally think that's a rediculous proposition and just another reason why not to vote for Kerry.

I think I should be president. I would deport all the illigle immigrants, allow people to shoot anyone attempting to cross the border. And declare an official make fun of France day.
I think I would have half on AO's vote

I'm getting really tired of illegal immigrants, but that's a whole other issue.

The reserves are not meant for controlling the domestic prices.

Kerry is a buffoon if he thinks we should tap into the reserves. I don't like high gas prices, but the reserves are their as insurance, not rainy days.

It pains me to say it, but you would get mine.

As for Kerry, leave the reserves alone. They are for emergencies, not price control!!!

jeez...the reserves hes talking about have what...one...two days oil stored in them?

[Crime Dog]

Reason #1234290493 not to vote for John Kerry for President. And if he was really that interested in lowering gas costs, he'd quit voting for every stinkin' gas tax that comes along.

Kerry will tax us back into a recession. Get your grubby lil' hands off my hard earned money Kerry. Your policies don't work. Go away.

We have higher prices cause OPEC hasn't refined as much due to loss of money last year. The fact that gas is over $2 for the cheap stuff here is insane. Dip into the reserves to ease the price and allow the people to save some money. We have over 50 years of Oil reserved in the US alone. If the prices keep soaring I will be forced to leave my job due to the traveling it requires and I don't get reimbursed til the end of the year.

Well...

President Bush hasn't really done well for the economy either.

Another short sighted example of selfishness.

Not to mention the fact that you haven't got a clue as to why prices are high.

When did this recession begin? When did the stock market collapse? When did Enron, Tyco, Worldcom, and Adelphia commit all of their corporate fraud? Oh yeah, that's right it all happened before Bush entered office under Clinton's watch!!!

LET me guess... it's the Liberals fault? I read more then one side to news stories. Ya selfishness that's it. I'm selfish. How bout I get canned from my job and you can pay my wages. I'm trying to earn a decent responsible living. If I can't get to the several locations I drive to in a day due to ungodly high gas prices. I'm on the working side and this is how it affects me. Pipe up and sit down.

Want to lower Gas Prices today?

Tell Congress (both sides) to suspend their precious Gas tax for 30 days until supplies catch back up to demand.

Prices are high for many reasond RoadDawg. Cut back supply being one. Another big one is refineries being down for seasonal maintainence. There are even more reasons to numerous to count.

I knew there were different reasons. My response earlier was ONE of many things. FOL seems to blame the liberals for anything and everything so I through that out for him. It is both sides that run things in this country and more often the not this board blames the "liberal" side of it. Just sickens me to think that people only look one way.
