#1 I would not like to be in the shoes of speculators that would hold the bag when the bubble bursts.

#2 the price per gallon is approaching: "f*ck the wildlife, drill at ANWR!!" I just hope Maverick's smart enough to get in front of the wave. No assurances yet, and given his previous "principled positions" I ain't holding my breath

#3 Lets see, we need more petroleum, and the f**king idiot Democrats want to TAX NEW REVENUES?

Way to go Dems- tax it until it disappears. You are at fault for hte shortages already by blocking US drilling, shale na d refineeris and making Nukes prohibitively expensive by allowing the environ nuts to entangle them in long expensve lawsuits. THe Dems alos are hte ones that passed the laws allowing all the specualtion in commodities wiht little money and large margins.

Like $4 gas? Vote DEMOCRAT - they brought it to you.

#4 Actually, dhimmirat POTUS would probably result in gas close to $8/gal (to match up with their yuropeon better ones).

#5 Anybody remember Speaker Pelosi promising to fix the gas prices 18 months ago?

#6 Bobby - the GOP would be smart to run ads with her saying that, while the scroll the Demcorats votes blocking new exploration, drillling and so on.

Run it in EVERY Blue Dog district to remind people who the blue-dog Dems have supported.

#7 Newt Gingrich has a petition at AmericanSolutions.com to get domestic drilling going. Apparently, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming have supplies that rival the Middle East but it has been cheaper to buy from the Saudis, until now. And why is China drilling 50 miles off US shores?
