Why do cons expect the government to regulate gas prices?

When they are out of power they whine about high gas prices, when they are in power they just say "Oh well that's the market" and give more subsidies to oil companies that do NOT lower prices and proceed to whine that liberals wont let them turn America into one giant oil field free and ready to be looted by big oil.

Ok. I'd be glad to go green. Where oh where is this affordable green alternative fuel? I'lll go get some right now. Where did you say it was?????

What is it? Ethanol? Did you notice all the riots in 3rd world countries over the price of food right now? $25.00 for a loaf of bread and we use food for fuel. Its criminal.

We could use industrial hemp but for some reason the US is the only country in the whole wide world where this is illegal.

Algae? Hahahahaha. I'll grow my own in the back yard cesspool.

Its against zoning codes to have a horse here and feeding a horse right now is prohibitively expensive as well. Hot air balloons????? Don't try to make people feel guilty for not wanting their quality of life to go into the toilet for your stupid attitude about alternative energy that is so expensive that few people can afford it either. If the government is so interested in alternative energy, lets see some.

They should regulate it oil raised 4 dollars a barrel friday because of speculation , not a shortage ,just a fear . 30% of the price of the barrel of oil is speculation . if you cant refine the oil you should not be able to buy it and resell it 4 or 5 times

Dems whined about it under Bush? Ring a bell?

And the Dems are really buying people new green cars, are they?

And I see more libs driving new expensive SUVs than cons, so your own party isn't exactly "green" What's Gore's electric bill?

Hmmm cant take the heat....tis you and your ilk that were SCREAMING that GW was doing it...well now your messiah is "in charge" so he gets the flack....if ya don't like it....TOO BAD

PS libbie try taking a course in ECONOMICS..you would find out that it was GW opening up drilling off the coast and the prices LOWERED...now the Obamination stopped that so the prices are going up again...hmmm correlation....YUP...uninformed lemming like reaction from libs...YES as well...

So you dont own a car and mommie and daddie still drive you around???

We dont. We are saying we should stop using Foreign oil and start using our own to bring down gas prices. Learn to listen

There is an answer, but not to Your question that has no truth nor meaning. Just one big lie. Just one big false premise.

funny how the left only thinks high gas prices are bad when Bush was in charge.

We expect liberal hacks and enviro-wackos to get out of the way and let us tap our resources. That's what we expect.

@primo

sadly, the oil companies would not cut us a break if we used our own
