democrat and republican ain't got nothing to do with it - and the price of oil and gas is a political issue - and this the offf topic board - the problem in my opinions is - ain' it ain't just bashing Bush - it is true we got a man in the white house that got all his money from the oil business - and as for the vice -president if Martha Stewart deserved to go to jail over her stupid actions Dick Cheney should get a life sentence - we got to pull together and elect people that it makes a difference to them and takes stuff away from them when the price of oil rises rather than their families get richer when the prices rise - oh yeah Heinz Ketchup will be more expensive too because of the price of trucking it to the store
