Oil prices impact not just Gasoline but heating fuel which is usually the elderly. Those that say they will?

drive less and that 0bama has increased drilling blah blah , (which he hasn't) just propaganda. Who will pay for their bills to keep them warm?

It's not just about driving. I have worked with the public for years and when money gets tight, the elderly will try to save by doing things like burning candles, using space heaters. which result in house fires. They stand no chance of living due to the age and general health. How does this measure with the lib compassion?

    Gauging..not the first time.

    Just busted our energy company.

    The corporate gauging is the reason. Their profits are the biggest in years.

    There is a bunch of crap and no one cares. You have to deal with the corporations who are ripping you off. Lawsuits will follow.

    Congress and their secret society is trying to enslave you by economic sanctions against the people.

    Any Republican admit the Pipeline was for China yet?

    Drilling for what?

    1973 America had an energy problem and REPUBLICAN Nixon did nothing. REPUBLICAN Ford id nothing. Democrat Jimmy Carter had long gas lines indicative of a problem and REPUBLICAN Ronald Reagan ignored it totally.

    39 years later the problem hasn't gone away and now you're all concerned. I bet you have a truck.

    As far as the elderly and poor are concerned didn't REPUBLICAN Mtt Romney say he wasn't concerned because the poor have safety nets?

    Another excellent point.

    While you ignore the fact that gasoline and oil prices are affected by a litany of other things other than supply, you hate Obama and want to blame him for something he has nothing to do with it. I like that.

    Will building an oil pipeline decrease oil prices? No, probably not, but you don’t care and neither do I because we hate Obama.

    Will drilling in ANWR and other national parks decrease prices? Maybe a few cents a gallon, for a little while, but that’s OK. We don’t care. We hate Obama and want to stick to those pinko environmentalists.

    Should we have started coming up with alternatives to oil and gas 30 – 40 years ago? Well, probably, but it was liberals proposing that and as Conservative, you know as well as I do, we like to be right (no pun intended) more than we like to be correct.

    Our politicians are clueless. Really don't care about us. Are oblivious to the day to day trials. And certainly don't know how constantly rising prices hurt the most those with the least ability to handle it.

    And more rich taxes & govt handouts aren't the solution.

    lol... wow... so you're blaming liberals for high heating oil prices for no given reason... and then blaming liberals for deaths that haven't even occurred yet from the elderly using more dangerous devices?

    so, in short, you just dismiss facts as propaganda (DOMESTIC OIL DRILLING IS AT 10 YEAR HIGHS, FACT) and then just make a bunch of assumptions and logical falicies to make your point...

    classic conservative...

    why don't the wealthy give some of that charity to the elderly? you all say cons give so much? lol

    or why don't they just get jobs, as cons so often say? lol

    Gas prices impact the cost of everything from groceries to infrastructure.

  • 9 years ago

    Thats why more money should be spent on social programs that help those people. Unless you are suggesting that the US goverment regulate gas prices on the open market im cool with that too

    Yes, I am sure they will just be dropping in droves because of heating costs.

    Maybe less money spent on foreign wars, killing machines, and cronyism could help them.
