bush is gonna by god keep an eye out for price gougers

[BOSSHOG]

to help murkans with the price of gas. He said its the government's responsibility. Heard on CBS radio news this AM. I feel so much better knowing the great leader (slave to oil companies) is on top of another situation.

1. What's his definition of price gauging?

[catnhatnh]

6. When they not only take your entire wallet...

but also the pocket it was in,tne jeans beneath it,a piece of your BVD's and a chunk of flesh-hence "gouging"...

[unblock]

2. of course he will! good fundraising means knowing who to hit up for money

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. I am slowly coming to the realization...

That one of the intended effects of this military misadventure is to give oil companies a plausible cover for jacking prices. Not to mention giving the markets fertile ground for rampant speculation.

4. Here is the Gouger-in-Chief

He's hording gasoline in his third chin.

[FarLeftRage]

10. He sure is an ugly M----rF----r

I'll bet there's special place in hell just for him!

[TechBear_Seattle]

5. He's been "keeping an eye out" for Haliburton for years. When will it end?

n/t

[RubyDuby in GA]

7. Like he was looking for the leaker? Like OJ is looking for the real

killer?

I feel so much better now. :sarcasm:

[leesa]

8. He wants to give them Medals of Honor.

[xchrom]

9. and how many weeks will have gone by

before bush-boy suddenly comes to anybody's rescue?

time enough for the oil companies to pack away a few mill and for bush to look like a knight tilting at windmills.

[WePurrsevere]

11. I'm fairly sure " Bush" & his minions will get prices down just a bit ....

around mid-October or so... just in time to *sucker* the more stupid and naive amongst the voting public into thinking they're "helping". :sarcasm: :puke:

If Bush really wanted to find the "gougers" he would need look no further then at those closest to him and the oil/gas companies BOD and officers. :mad:

[DELUSIONAL]

12. And we can believe that lie -- like all the rest he tells?

IF the objective of the bushie presidency was for a phony oil man to make the oil companies much much much richer -- then he has been wildly successful.

What he will watch out for is more ways to squeeze money from every single citizen and direct that money to his corporate buddies.

[maxsolomon]

13. They're no gougers

they're capitalists.

ain't no law to tell them they can't, so they do. i'll bet that big oil has a staff of evil psychologists, evil sociologists, & evil evil marketing consultants setting their prices, gauging the public's reaction, backing off when the squealing gets to loud, or the topic shows up on the news 3 days in a row, but constantly ratcheting up & up.

and there are barely any taxes being collected on this money to fund public transportation, alternative energy, or restoration of rail service.
