Reply #7: This is an election year for Congress so although long term I think prices

[WePurrsevere]

will remain high... they'll make it look like it's "made a difference" by lowering the prices just a bit (enough to still allow for windfall profits for the oil companies), for a short time (in time for elections so the RePIGs can hog all the credit). After that whether they stay lower or go back up will depnd on who's in the majority after the elections...

Continue giving the oil men in the WH a majority that will override common sense in favor of big oil profits and prices will go back up as BushCo say they're powerless to help. :puke: Take away the majority from the WH Oil men and we have a better chance of passing ways to help folks with heating prices and putting caps on oil profits... not to mention a chance at having put in place REAL environmentally friendly ways to own cars and heat our homes.


edited for clarity... I hope
