Gas Raped

[warpspyder]

Well you all know who you can thank for this problem. Let's think... What's changed in the last 5 years roughly. Hmmm. Now of those things that have changed which one of them have Saudi oil money to thank for every one of their successful business ventures? Do I need to spell this out?

Sorry I just get mad sometimes.

Siphon gas!!!!

[toolfan62]

holy crap thats high..its about 2.55 here

[cockerkiller68]

Yeah forget that!! Last time I was in Frisco I almost ran out of gas!! I said forget them, I put like $5 in my tank...enough to get me back to Fremont and put in our cheap $2.79/gal gas.

I H8 CA!!!

Let's see... In the last 5 years we were lucky enough to elect a president with the sand to attack and conquer several terrorists infested countries that threatened this country,
Also in the last 5 years we had over three thousand souls killed after attacking not only the very symbol of financial America but our FOREMOST MILITARY INSTALLATION.
Hopefully Saudi Arabia is next to get straitened out by the appropriate means.
Want lower gas? Start by removing liberal enviromentalists from power and allow us to build more refinaries, and drill for domestic oil.
That's a start.
By the way, I work in SF, but live in Yuba City, where Premium sits at about 2.50 right now.
SF has to have thier own special blend to meet air quality standards, and the summer blend is about to be mandated...get ready Frisco.
Brent.

Yeah, it's like 1.80 something here last time I checked. Living in Arkansas rules.

Where the HELL in Arkansas are you?? The cheapest I've seen it is $2.09 in Jacksonville.

Oh yeah, and living in Arkansas only rules if you're from Arkansas. If you've ever lived in a real state, you'd know how much living in Arkansas sucks!
And the Razorbacks suck!

1.98 here, but then again i live thirty minutes from a plant that produces a percentage(i beleive in the double digits) of the nations gas....... it has hit like 2.30 something.


like i told a friend the other day, if we went to war for oil like everyone says, we got screwed.......

I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on many of those points (look for the ones in bold). Prove they were infested with terrorists. There is no reason to believe that Iraq was harboring terrorists nor any reason to believe they did not abandon their attempt to have "weapons of mass destruction". Bush has FAR too many Saudi buddies who have bailed him out of some tough times (ever hear of Arbusto and Harken??). That's a bit like saying you'll bomb your parents. No if you want lower gas prices you'll remove the guy who's buddies with the Saudis and allows them to drive up the prices like that. Oh and so we're all aware MOST of our oil imports come from our neighbors to the north. You may not agree but the sad thing is..... I'm right . I have no life so I make it a point to know things.

Bush has FAR too many Saudi buddies who have bailed him out of some tough times (just look back into his history-trust me).

I'm lazy... elaborate this point and show me the facts that support it?

Thats an honest question, I'm open minded, but I just don't follow this line of reasoning.

[warpspyder]

Look into that article I posted. Then do some research into Harken and their investors. You will see in that article that they say something like "the main reson they were interested in the company was because of Bush". And if you look into their investors and trace the lines you will see Saudi oil money was involved (I am also too lazy but if this is still a controversy in the morning I'll go more in depth )

Oh yeah and look into Arbusto too. There is NO reason any normal human would WANT to buy a company as well..... "gifted" as they were. Let's just say Jed was better at finding oil then they were

[warpspyder]

I lied and did some of the research. This article traces his money lines. I think- I'm falling asleep and only read about half.

Better late then never?? I think not.


wow i made a really stupid comment in this spot (not up there)

Ehh.. I think your taking normal business ventures and investments and spinning them out of control. Did the Bush name help? Undoubtedly it did, but so did his own reputation. Life is not fair, some people get breaks others don't, and sometimes its as much about character as success or skill. I don't see this spinning into some big conspiracy, just as I failed to see "Whitewater" being some big conspiracy. Can it be made to look like one, especially to people unfamilar with large scale business? Sure it can.. easily, but the fact is a lot of things in large scale business confound those of us not in it.
