Why is everything that goes on a damn conspiracy? Who cares about anybody's ties to oil (ther are plenty of Dems with just as many ties by the way). Maybe, just fricking maybe, 99% of the people and media who complain about government inaction in this country don't have a damn clue about how the oil market works. Maybe, just damn maybe, the cost of oil has nothing to do with the Bush administration at all. The ideological idea that everything that goes wrong is the Bush administration's fault is patently ridiculous. Have they done things wrong? For sure. But don't blame everything on them. It is what makes the reasonable arguments sound so dumb. They get lost in the ideological rhetoric.
Someone tell me one thing that thye administration was supposed to do? Chirp chirp. By the way the Executive branch isn't repsonsible for regulation and legislation. The Legislative branch is and I don't hear them banging the drum for any type of oil market reform. No they might spout off every now and then but at the end of the day they know that the oil market is the way it is because we have to buy oil from the middle east which is a damn disaster and has been for 3k years. Then all of our refineries happen to be in hurricanes way. I am sure somehow that is Bush's fault too.
