“I seriously think the sick, leftist puppies would cheer if 2/3 of the human race was wiped out.”

Have you ever known throughout history any leftist regime that didn’t engage in mass murder?
Even Bill Ayers plotted to kill 25 million ‘diehard’ capitalists.

[MrB]

With all that gas that you’re saving,
when it comes time to drain some off the top of your tank,
can you send it my way?

[Steely Tom]

If prices had done this under George Bush, the MSM would have gone wall-to-wall with the story line that "prices are going up because the President wants to help out his oil buddies." It would be pointed out, every hour on the hour, how much profit KBR, Halliburton, Bechtel and Fluor-Daniels are making from this price rise, and how many of the Bush family friends are in senior positions in those companies.

But since we have a Community Organizer as president now, why, there's nothing to see here, move along now, high prices are good for us.

[screaminsunshine]

Right. The price will not be due to supply or demand but to dollar destruction.

Even Bill Ayers plotted to kill 25 million ‘diehard’ capitalists.

An inherent Marxist mindset.

The Euro is teetering on the brink of collapse, so much so that at least six member nations have plans in place to quickly switch back to their own currencies if the SHTF. Yet, the Euro continues to rise in value against the Dollar. Pretty much says all you need to know about ‘ole Helicopter Ben and his antics.....

[Buckeye McFrog]

These are the seeds of political destruction for Obama.

(of course, of Trump goes all Ross Perot on us and the GOP nominates another DoleMcCain, it won’t matter)

[Mr.Unique]

California is running around $0.85 per gallon.

[Logical me]

King Obama’s machine is forcing these prices up to destroy America as we once knew it. His plan cannot be stopped peacefully. Don't look for the GOP to do anything. As far as I'm concerned the GOP is in the same boat.

[bigbob]

When will we start calling this what it is?

OBAMAGAS

[redgolum]

The Bubble will pop sooner or later. But for now, the tank building business is going well.

[ilgipper]

you may be right, and the GOP has shown an inability to message well at all...but Presidential politics pretty much trends exactly with individuals feels about their current situation and their perceived situation for people around them.

The media goes a long way to influence election outcomes, but they do not have a monopoly. If people are working hard for less and see higher prices for everything, they aren’t likely to stick with the party in power. If you look over time, this is almost universally true. If things are crappy a year from now with high prices, high unemployment, lower wages, a decent GOP candidate will make mincemeat of Obama.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Then you must have some AWESOME roads.

[Bed_Zeppelin]

Does anyone, including anyone in the administration think they have even a 10% chance of reelection if gas prices go this high?

Yes, a logical, rational person would come to that conclusion but there's still a sizeable portion of American voters that vote strictly based on race and their virulent hatred of conservatism. When it comes down to casting a vote for Obama or a conservative candidate, these people will vote the same way they did in the presidential election, even if they had to ride there on a bicycle.

I’m not worried. I carry my tire gauge on my key chain.

I may have to get really drastic soon; I may have to finally trade in my vehicle that gets only 8 mpg.

[unkus]

Indeed, their religion is humanist, and they are distinctly anti-human.

In other words, they are Satan’s followers.

Exactly! It’s all demonic.

Shot up another 6 cents here yesterday to $3.65.9. That is about the average around here in NE Alabama.

Here in central Indiana, we shot up yesterday from $3.79 to $3.99...just staring $4.00 in the face, and we haven't even reached Memorial Day yet.

[NTHockey]

0bami’s DeathCare isn’t going to kill us fast enough; so it’s now 0bambiGas. He can’t blame THIS on Bush.

[hal ogen]

Every time I stop at a gas station I stick one of my self-produced “thank nobama” stickers (with his sh**-eating grin) at or near the pump. It is the least I can do to give credit where credit is due...and to remind others.
