And while we're drilling, let's make sure to build more refinery capacity. The more domestic supply, the better.

Shame on you Ross! What the fuck were you thinking??

I've got 20.00 for the Mike Ross move to Alaska fund! Where do I send it and do y'all think he will read the fine print insisting it's a one way trip? I swear it seems like Ross is trying to be the next congressional Don Young. All that dirty money is quickly moving over to the new Dem majority so watch your backs and hide your children.

Ross's solution is corn. High oil prices mean a bigger demand and higher prices for corn used in the production of ethanol...and junk food. Bigger profits = bigger lobbying budget.

Nothing new...Republicans have been trying to drill in Anwar forever. That, Star Wars and the Estate Tax are the Republicans answers for just about every problem we'll ever have. Never mind details like Star Wars is a movie, not a scientific viability (as of today) or that Anwar reserves are a drop in the bucket and pristine places are irreplaceable, oil is not...and global warming is a sad reality.

Spent $140 to fill up two vehicles Saturday (one was empty/the other half full)...between gas/groceries, our budget's out the window and over the cliff. Feel sorry for people commuting and for people with several children to feed/drive around. THANK YOU PRESIDENT SHIT FOR BRAINS AND YOUR BRAIN-DEAD ENABLERS!!

Red has a wonderful point. Raw crude oil is not in short supply. However it's been since 1991 that a refinery was built. Makes you wonder about how much the EPA is preventing refineries from being built.
Bushcheney in office for 7 years and they have not bothered to appoint an EPA that will approve of new refineries being built. Republicans in charge of Congress from 1994 to 2007 and they did not fix the EPA so that new refineries could have been built.

Makes you wonder about gasoline supplies being bottled up at the refineries, super high prices and record profits.

Hey folks you all are just doing exactly what those who are filling their banks with our money want us to think.

You think it's one thing or another that causing high gasoline price, but it is not!

WE don't need refiners or to drill more wells we just need to hang all the people who are causing high prices and threaten the same to anyone else who'd do that.

They are lying at us and they are laughing their rich asses off at us while we bitch about what needs to be done to lower the prices.

It is almost toooooooo late to wake up to the gouging we are taking. Gasoline I heard is 12 cent a gallon in Chalvez's country.

Chasv, I never realized you are a commie-socialist ! You're full of surprises. You are suggesting that the U.S. just take charge of all the oil wells and refineries just as Chavez and Venezuela has done. The Venezuelan state owns and processes all it's oil and gas.

You had one mistake in there chasv. Gasoline is 15 cents a gal. in Venezuela.
Gas is 12 cents a gallon in Cheney's country, Iraq.

Okay I stand corrected, thanks.
I think those that are gouging us should be put is prison for a while.
It is a crime to gouge us. But they are doing it with impunity. Bush and Cheney and theirs oil buddies, i.e...

Gas prices are high because of the
low value of the dollar. Oil and gas
production is more than keeping up
with actual demand. If you want
to see gas and commodity prices
fall, ban speculators and investors
from buying them just to trade.

When the dollar falls, more investors
buy gold, oil, gas, rice, etc. which
makes the prices skyrocket and
destroys the economy.

When will we ever get some politicians
that even know this much less some
that will actually do something to fix
it?
