according to "fox news", more good news from the dems

Published Jun. 24, 2008

 

"House Democrats failed Tuesday to resurrect a bill to punish price gouging at the gas pump, while maneuvering to block Republican attempts to expand offshore drilling, an idea gaining in popularity amid $4-a-gallon gas prices."

Appears offshore drilling might be growing some legs.

But, in the meantime let the price gouging go forth.

We can all agree that price gouging is a good thing and we do not need to drill for oil - - - - - - - - - - - - NOT !

Got to love dem dems.

I don't actually think there is gouging. But the blogger here implied dems were letting it happen when that is clearly NOT what the QUOTE he put on his little ranty idiocy was saying. I agree the gouging is at the oil company level, not the pump level.

Even though there IS a gas station right next to my house charging 4.25 a gallon when everyone else charges 3.99. My solution is the obvious one of just not going there.

In other words - offshore drilling is a big waste of time. A placebo.

here's a little quote for you guys.

At a town hall in Fresno, CA, McCain admitted that the offshore drilling proposal he unveiled last week would probably have mostly "psychological" benefits, NBC/NJ’s Adam Aigner-Treworgy notes. "Even though it may take some years, the fact that we are exploiting those reserves would have psychological impact that I think is beneficial."

FOX NEWS....NO SPIN ZONE :)

according to "fox news"

Now THAT'S an oxymoron.

We aren't going to see any change until the Congress/Senate work together for the good of America. I know I will get alot of "bad mouthing", but we need to get the control out of the "dems" hands. This is the problem!!

If you read more about the actual language of the bill, you would have seen that it was so vague about who how 'gouging' is determined that it could have been abused really, really badly. It was a bad bill, especially the way worded.

Take a good idea and make it a law and now interpretation of the law is all that counts, not the right or wrong. Every good idea does NOT need to be made a law.

People selling gas, make about 3 cents per gallon. The station owners.

The price gouging isn't at the pumps, it's at the refineries.

God bless.
