BOBBY D'S BLOG

Uh, you are off the mark, Bob. The problem is oil futures and stock market manipulation, and then the oil refineries monopolys that the Bush admin and congress allowed to merge. The refinery marketplace is now a monopoly. I believe in free markets but when there are none, it is time for the government to step in and fix it so it can be free again. There are two options for the refinery oil monopolies in this country. Either break them up to create fair competition, or let em stay, but heavily regulate them including setting pricing controls, and refusing to let them manipulate the supply. Did you know that since BP got Arco, they now control much of the oil that goes through the Alaskan pipeline and that BP, a foreign oil company is diverting a lot of that crude to foreign markets. American crude oil, from Alaska. Allo, is Soros, Chavez, or the commie Chinese speculating our stock oil futures to further destroy this country from within, something our ahole president and Congress Are not fixing as they love any monopoly and unfree markets. I am telling you as sure as I am sitting here, I see it plain as day. Maybe not a week or month from now, but a vicious revolution is on the horizon if this government doesn't fix the country's problems, including free markets and oil prices in our oil based economy. By the way, I personally do not sanction the revolution approach. Thomas Jefferson once stated "Every generation needs a new revolution."

emission electric cars California required in the 90's. The cars were massed produced and affordable to average car buyers. Today only boutique car makers are building electric cars and they are NOT cheap.

Check out my blog and see.

It's time for the government to take the Nixon approach back in '73...start a price freeze. I was only 10 years old at the time, but I remember it. That move did some good for the economy back then, until the voters got the peanut farmer into office; then in '79, the same monkey business went on with a different approach (no freeze) and the prices skyrocketed more. Time to whip the cowboy's horse and make it run!

A few years back there was a press conference on rising (was going above 3 dollars a gallon.) down in I believe either long beach or San Francisco, held by Exxon Corp. A reporter ased why did the oil industry keep raising the prices? "Because we can, we can charge what ever the market will bear!"
Refreshing and rare is the truth. That is what we are up against.
Iffin we were to take them to court because of ati-trust laws, maybe in 6 or 7 years at the erliest we might see some results on the monopolized death grip on the refineries. I have talked to friends in the Industry, There is an artificial shortage caused by the oil industries monopoly upon the amount of refineries producing.
Have a good weekend fellas.

I hope gas rises to 6 dollars per gallon by october. los angeles needs to remove a majority of the drivers on the road. most can't afford to pay 4 dollars, can't afford a new car, and continue to drive large suv's. oops, i sound like a driving nazi.

The motto of the slick oil industry: $how me the money! Show me the $$$$$! $how me the $$$$$! Correct?

And on another matter...Bobby D.: I saw the graphics Erica did for your paintball segments. I hope you didn't get creamed badly in HB. By the way, did you see any of the oil pumps in the city?

DMMickie, we can at least hope that someone will do a freeze...even if it's a pipe dream. Do you know of any good bumper stickers to protest the highway robbery going on?

Cheryl, you are on the money! I remember these dirty tactics way back in '73 when I was a young boy in elementary school. The left wing are just using Bush as a scapegoat...the oil industry knows it needs to be careful with its tricks. Let's figure: Wild Bill was still in the Oval Office when gas went over $2.00 per gallon, and the prices were rising even then. The guy was more concerned about keeping his pants up in public rather than tracking Osama Bin Laden down...as a result, we had 9/11 to deal with, and Bush dealt a huge blow to Bin Laden. The slick weasels took advantage of that, and have deceived a number of people into thinking that Bush is at fault for the high prices...and note that Colorado's head of state is part of the moonbat party, while the moonbats run California's economy into the ground. The decent Democrats who are trying to stop the spread of the moonbat rabies in the Democratic party are in a pickle...what's next?

CHeryl,

I do remember gas prices being A LOT cheaper during Clinton's term. When Bush took the White House the price of gas went up a dollar the first year. the laugh is on you. By the way the hybrid cars are not all compact cars. Toyota and Lexus have sedan hybrid cars. There is enough oil drilling. We need new technology.
