I don't know what the issue is, but every time I go to the gas station, it costs more and more to fill up.
Is there something wrong with my fuel system?

Kerry wanted to raise gas prices, George W. Bush cant do SH!T about gas prices, thats [censored] middle east, those fuckheads wants more money, and therefore they overcharge for the oils we need.
Besides, Both George Bush, and Dick Cheney are very good politicans. Sick and tired of everyone ripping on Mr. Bush, goto a Hippie consert goddamnit and leave the poor man alone! Hes doing a great job!

It's simple economics of supply and demand. Oil is a finite resource. As other parts of the world are starting to industrialize more (China particularly), there is a larger demand. Therefore the price goes up. ....or it could be a huge conspiracy by Bush and his cronies to drive up oil prices, by invading Iraq and simultaneously smuggling midget prostitutes in to Saudi Arabia to give the Saudi royal prince Herpes in hopes that the government would become unstable and meanwhile the Venuzuelean oilfields would begin to mysteriously shutdown due to defective pump o-ring seals on all the rigs which were manufactured by Haliburton when Cheney ran the company and smuggled into Venuzuela by illegal alien fruit pickers who were given LSD by their coyote smugglers and convinced to go south instead of north by secret milarty operatives still loyal to General Powell and his secretive military intellegence infrastructure all so Bush's secret Exxon/Mobile stocks would go through the roof and he could make enough money to buy back the Texas Rangers ...................right Hitman?

Kerry talked about it long ago but never actually tried to do that, shame really since the current situation would be better now if it had happened.
Sick and tired of everyone ripping on Mr. Bush? Maybe we should repeal that little freedom of speach thing.

While this is true enough, commodity trading is making the situation worse. Too bad we never instituted a 50 cent gas tax to help reduce our consumption (wink, wink), now if the Chinese can only find a way to make cars run on rice.
Now I would really like to know what the original problem was, Mark87, you there???

Correctamundo! The commodity trading and nervousness in the market is the other part of the equation.

Well I don't think it is very respectful to post pics of the three stooges as being US leaders. On the other hand I don't agree with Bush at all. As far as taxes are concerned tax cuts are great, but if they don't help you nearly as much as the guy who makes more then you and doesn't really need them then you really should start asking questions. Also tax cuts hurt when vital programs are cut mostly to make rich people richer and the poor poorer. Also don't watch fox news for "fair and balanced" news because its just a lie. Just don't be fooled by your greed for money and vote for a guy that says "tax cuts" when they don't really affect you that much.
