It's a scam: High gas prices [View All]

[AndyA]

I'm shocked - SHOCKED I TELL YOU! - that George Bush still pretends to care about the American people. Let's face it, folks, we've been taken for a ride the past six years. So where is this new, caring, concerned man coming from? What has changed that would cause us to expect anything different from him now?

It's not the poll numbers. Dubya don't care 'bout no dang poll numbers. He's said so himself. Of course, almost everything out of the man's mouth is either vomit or a lie, so there's still good reason to not believe him now.

But what could the motivation be? We know Dubya hates giving speeches. He knows he mispronounces words. So why would he suddenly, after years of higher and higher gas prices, actually do something to bring relief to the American people, who he detests so much?

Follow the money. He's gonna look into price gouging and fixing by the big oil companies. Uh-huh, yeah, right. There aren't any pigs flying overhead, so I'm gonna add this one to the bullshit list. He's gonna stop adding to the national oil reserves, which will make more oil available in the market and bring prices down. Ummm...not on your life. Not enough there to even cause a blip on the ole gas pump prices.

So what is this big motivation?

Could it be that by lifting pollution standards the big oil companies can rake in even MORE profits?

BINGO!

Could it be that this is a way of pressuring Congress and opponents to allow more drilling in Alaska?

BINGO AGAIN!

This is just the latest, greatest catastrophe brought to you by The Bush Crime Family™, the same folks who brought you the 9/11 Tragedy®, the "Mission Accomplished" War in Iraq, the "Heckuva Job" Hurricane Katrina (also known as the Let's Clean Up New Orleans Project), Leakgate™, and the Great Depression of 2006 (not yet released).

To believe that this is anything other than just another opportunity to screw America while helping Dubya's good ole boys club members is foolish.

A fool and his money are soon departed - and Bush is counting on it! Again.
