VaporTrail Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 When pollsters ask Republicans and Democrats whether the president can do anything about high gas prices, the answers reflect the usual partisan divisions in the country. About two-thirds of Republicans say the president can do something about high gas prices, and about two-thirds of Democrats say he can't. But six years ago, with a Republican president in the White House, the numbers were reversed: Three-fourths of Democrats said President Bush could do something about high gas prices, while the majority of Republicans said gas prices were clearly outside the president's control.

Of course since the democrats railed against bush the oil baron I suppose it's sauce for the gander as well. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making decisions, even life decision at the basic level, are based on party affiliation. I don't see you as one of the main culprits here, you know who you are.

Love how you love to use Greece as your go-to example. There are plenty of nations who have Parliamentary government, some are successful, others aren't. You could say the same thing about any other type of political system. Here's a list. Make of it what you will. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_system#Countries_with_a_parliamentary_system_of_government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Truth is treason in the empire of lies" love it love it love it "End the Fed" Do you know who was the last guy that wanted to end the Fed? JFK.

But Since you guys like politicians who tell u what you want to hear and shift positions when it suits their electability, It is no wonder that you all hate him. Dont come bitching in the forum if you are a republican and Obama gets reelected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont come bitching in the forum if you are a republican and Obama gets reelected. What does Ol'Doc Superman have to say about gas prices? ... much of the "pain at the pump" Americans are now feeling is due to federal policies designed by environmental alarmists to punish traditional energy production – like oil, coal, and natural gas – in hopes of making energy sources they favor more "economical." Ol'Doc gets it! Remember the "Crucify them" guy that used to be at the EPA? Well, he's gone now but there are hundreds of Prez Peace Prize's guys still there just like him. "Crucify the oil companies!" mentality I mean. As President, Ron Paul will lead the fight to: * Remove restrictions on drilling, so companies can tap into the vast amount of oil we have here at home. * Repeal the federal tax on gasoline. Eliminating the federal gas tax would result in an 18 cents savings per gallon for American consumers. * Lift government roadblocks to the use of coal and nuclear power. * Eliminate the ineffective EPA. Polluters should answer directly to property owners in court for the damages they create – not to Washington. * Make tax credits available for the purchase and production of alternative fuel technologies.

FairHooker11 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 gas prices wont come down- even though demand is lower and supplies are growing, (as little as 5 years ago meant lower prices at the pump) TODAY because of inflationary dollars because of the worthless efforts of the sitting empty suit president, gas prices wont flinch much. INACTION to the real problem of our debt and endless spending is causing this. -5 trillion Can a president influence this? Yes if he truly believes in a sensible energy policy. Which is what obama should have been doing day one of his mystical reign. He can look at the enormous resources we have here, proven and being produced right now in ND Balkan fields, instead, going all in, in a failed green policy. but just replying to this post is a waste of time.... Ron Paul wont be president.... the lesser of two evils is the best choice, to at least maybe stop the federal bleeding? dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think nuclear is one way to go. It's clean and efficient. I like coal too, and we have a lot of it. And yes, the prez is an empty suit but he sure has a gang of cut throats working for him.

We certainly can fix some of our shortfalls in jobs and growth if we utilized what we have right here in energy production. I got SO pissed and still am, that the keystone pipeline project was ignored. I mean, jobs right? but better still are the innovation and ideas that the next geners will bring to the front... but this guy just Stifles every attempt.... GEt OUUT! i say GIITT OOOOOWWWWTTT !!!!
