Did anyone mention gas prices in this thread?

"A USA Today/Gallup poll last week found that 42 percent of the roughly 1,000 adults surveyed across the United States believed President George W. Bush's administration had "deliberately manipulated the price of gasoline so that it would decrease before this falls elections."..
...Manipulated or not, many observers agree that the falling prices at the gas pump have lifted Bush's sagging poll numbers.
"It pumps up presidential popularity," said Larry Sabato, a political analyst at the University of Virginia.
And while many experts believe that the recent rebound enjoyed by Bush in the polls is a result of a new thrust on security, others say it is mostly about the newly discounted gas.
"I see a near-perfect correlation between Bush's rise in the polls and the decline in gas prices," Sabato said.
"I think for most people it's a lot more important than the global war on terror," he said. "People tank up twice a week. They feel it in their pocket book," he said."

What has George W. Bush done lately to bring down the price of oil?

look like his poll numbers could flip the congress
the collective consciousness of big oil does not want a congress that will investigate price fixing
windfall taxes on obscene profiteering
regulation to protect the environment
and sadly there are enough stupid voters
that will say "hey things are going the right direction, gas went down from $3.50 to $2.50
And then after the election they will bend over and assume the position

Or....maybe it's just seasonal price softness. Between Labor Day and the cold season beginning in mid-November. Happens most every year when Katrina-type disasters don't occur.
Or....maybe the traders in New York, Chicago, London, Shanghai, and every major trading center around the world are entirely fixated on seeing American Republicans re-elected to Congress. Hmmm...I wonder if the traders in foreign lands care very much about American Republicans.

I was referring to gasoline prices
that is what voters care about
look it up
I just did
the high American gasoline prices have not been justified
it has been price gauging resulting in the record - breaking profits
there are some seasonal changes but not this drastic and this fast
you don't believe the oil companies are concerned about a Democratic congress?
the GOP has been doing their bidding

How has the GOP effected the oil market? Specifically, in the last month or so?

Who justifies the price of oil?

Half of the post summer drops in Gasoline prices over the past 10 years have equaled the current drop. Oh, and its not a conspiracy either that elections are in November rather than August or that 9/11 will always be two months prior to the November elections, although no doubt there are Dems out there that will try to spin something.

The Newsweek poll released yesterday showing Bush’s approval at a record-low 33 percent.
Here are some of the other highlights:
– 52 percent of Americans believe the Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert covered up Mark Foley’s actions
– For the first time ever in a Newsweek poll, a majority of Americans (58 percent) now believe the Bush administration knowingly misled the American people in building its case for war against Saddam Hussein
– 53 percent believe it was a mistake to go to war at all, the first time the Newsweek poll has registered a majority in that camp.
– Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s approval rating has fallen to just 30 percent, and more Americans believe he should resign than remain, 48 percent vs. 37 percent
