I saw a news story last night that said gasoline prices in the US could be as low as $2 a gallon by Thanksgiving...Coincidence or is this proof that big oil & politicians have a conspiracy to defraud the American people?

Then that means that gas prices will be going down all over the world. Oil prices are set on the world market. Not just our local oil companies. No coincidence or even a conspiracy (and I know how liberals love conspiracy's). There are many factors that are bringing them down. You should really look more to world news. You wouldn't feel like such a victim if you did.

Yep it's a conspiracy, I see you got the liberal leftist nutjob newsletter. For the record MOST ALL politicians have been defrauding the American people for centuries. That has to do wih power...people can't handle having power. If the eviros would let us build more refineries and a few nuclear plants, gas would be under a dollar. So I wonder who is the real cause of high gas prices.

Jim,
I totally agree with you. Last evening I drove by a gas station and noticed the decrease in gas prices and immediately thought, what a political game they are playing. The politicians are trying to show Americans that they have short term memory and will lower prices prior to elections, not to oust the republicans from office. I hope that the voter's are smarter than the politicians think ~ elections is the time to show the politicians we want reform. No more financial gain for the rich corporations, we the people put the policiticans in office, avoid the politicians with a endless campaign fund, it is coming from somewhere and its not in support of the middle and lower class.

Oil prices are going down because:
#1 - BP has kept on pumping from Prudhoe Bay.
#2 - Refineries at the Gulf are coming back on stream.
#3 - The critical Conoco-Phillips refinery in Illinois is on stream.
#4 - Ethanol capacity is up and 10% ethanol is now mandated.
#5 - Summer vacation travel is ending.
#6 - Aircraft travel is down, due to terrorist scares.
#7 - Newer and more efficient cars are hitting the road.
#8 - The Saudis have pledged additional output.
#9 - President Bush opened the strategic reserves.
See? NO conspiracy, NO Fraud, just supply and demand.

Also, notice the "Three Amigos" (Rumsfeld, Rice and Dubbya) are on CNN and local channels every week with yet another support the war speech? Bwaaa haa haa haa!! Gotta love this fradulent democracy, more like a dog and pony show ran by a chimpanzee. It's no coincidence. Something else is brewing in the evil cauldron too, beleive that. Something that will not be good.

It just goes to show you that we have been getting gouged all this time that Old G.Bush has been in office. As soon as the election is over in November, they will be going back up at record pace. You think $3.00 is high, baby you ain't seen nothing yet!

Coincidence? Let me explain in a mathematical way.
(Gas Prices) = 1+(IQ score of President) / (Presidential Rating)

Not a coincidence, but I will be happy to take the lower prices anyway.
