#1 Sheesh. In Colorado Springs today, prices for 85 octane gasoline range from $2.53 to $2.75 per gallon. My advice to the wing-nut motorists who are not happy with the falling gas prices is to tank up at a $2.75 station. I know. Mohr and the folks in the mid-west would have to go out of state to find gas at those prices.

#2 Here in Philly, Regular is going for around $2.33/gal. today. Damn that Karl Rove!

#3 Understanding the free market is a simple but effective IQ test.

If you don't understand free markets, or don't believe in them, you fail the test.

#4 So right after the election I suspect Bush will have Halliburton fire up the hurricane machine, have the levees blown up, destroy New Orleans, and gas will be up to 5.00 a gallon?
Next week on "Paranoid Nation"...

#5 My son told me that someplace in Atlanta had Regular for $ 1.99 last week.

#7 Personally, if the Bush-Rove-Chaney crowd are responsible for lowering the price, that's more than enough to convince me to vote for them. People with power and influence like that need to be in high positions, not incompetent dolts and blame gamers.

#8 They should express their defiance by paying more than the pump requires. If the meter reads $20 give the cashier $30 that will show them.

#9 Here's a plan.... for every $ .03 cents below $2.00 per gallon, the gummit gets an additional $ .01 cent in tax revenue. Lets but the "incentive" back on the bums in Washington.

#10 According to a new Gallup poll, 42 percent of respondents agreed with the statement that the Bush administration "deliberately manipulated the price of gasoline so that it would decrease before this fall's elections."

Reminds me of that old joke: Why are you hitting your head against the wall? Because it feels so good when I stop.

This is what passes for logic in way too many Dem's minds.

#11 Dems are just building up the excuses for their coming disappointment.

#12 As I recall, gasoline prices did a nose dive right before the 2000 elections. Alot of folks said it was a conspiracy by Clinton to influnce the votes then.

#13 IIRC, wasn't Clinton (at Gore's insistence) releasing bigtime from the strategic reserve? That would be crude manipulation (pardon the pun)

#14 Good memory, Frank. Republican senators are accusing Clinton of tapping the oil reserve to help Vice President Al Gore's presidential bid. Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., speaking Tuesday, said: "The emergency oil is for a severe shortage and not to help a candidate seven weeks before the election." Sep 27, 2000 article here.

#16 Naw Frank man. It was that damn market thing again. It saw a Bush win on the horizon and was sending happy joy joy signals.

#17 Ya, but with oil prices down, Bush and Cheney are losing in the equity holdings.

#18 Yeah, but do they know that Bush "can call spirits from the vasty deep"?
