It’s All Bush’s Fault…Part 3,568
Oil prices sank more than a dollar Wednesday to their lowest level in more than three months as robust U.S. inventories at the end of the summer driving season dulled bullish sentiment.
U.S. light crude for October delivery tumbled $1.10 to settle at $67.50 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier in the session, the front-month contract touched as low as $67.45, the lowest since May 22.
Gas prices are continuing to drop. AAA Carolinas pegs the current average in Charlotte at $2.84. (The statewide average is $2.76, and it’s down to $2.63 across the S.C. border.) That’s still higher than drivers might like, but it’s well below the prices from most of the summer.
US employers added 128,000 jobs last month [August] while the unemployment rate fell a notch to 4.7 pct, the Labor Department said.
In July, the number of jobs added was revised to 121,000 from 113,000.
And since Bush is in control of the Worldwide Oil MegaCompany… this must be his fault, too.
An oil discovery by Chevron Corp. has bolstered prospects that petroleum companies will be able to tap giant reserves that lie far beneath the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Oil analysts and company executives said newly released test results from a well 175 miles off the coast of Louisiana indicate that the oil industry will be able to recover well more than 3 billion barrels, and perhaps as much as 15 billion barrels, of oil from a geological area known as the lower tertiary trend, making it the biggest addition to U.S. petroleum reserves in decades.
The upper end of the estimate could boost U.S. reserves by 50 percent.
“This looks to be the biggest discovery in the United States in a generation, really since the discovery of Prudhoe Bay 38 years ago,” said Daniel Yergin, chairman of the consulting firm Cambridge Energy Research Associates Inc.
Man, how can the dumbest President ever also be the most calculating and manipulative President ever? Kind of like how can we have global warming when glaciers are melting AND growing?!?

It’s all Rove –he did this just to “win” the elections in November! It’s disgusting when free markets refuse to cater to the partisan needs of Democrats… the Dems need –NEED– high gas prices, more deaths in Iraq, a couple of ICBMs shot from N Korea, the Bush girls to get drunk in public and for TonyBlair to be frog-marched out of #10 Downing Street as an Iranian informant in order to win in November.
The Dems can’t survive as the Party of “Just Do No” anymore. Where are CindyZeroSheehan and MikeyMisfitMoore when they need ’em most?

Michigan-Matt rants:

Just as hysterical partisan hacks for the GOP such as yourself need for America to be constantly “under attack”, by terrorists, “activist judges”, homosexuals, immigrants, the IRS, Big Government, liberal elites, Hollywood elites, intellectual elites, secular humanits, the mass market media, and on, and on, and on…..ad nauseum.
Remember the good old days when you could just blame everything on the communists?
It may be different words, but both parties sing exactly the same tune

Gryph inadvertently demonstrates the main reason that Democrats can’t convince anyone they’re serious about security; namely, they rant how there really is no threat from terrorism and unsecured borders, but then they whine that the Bush administration hasn’t spent enough money on airport screeners, containerized shipping security, and protecting New York from terrorist attack.
In short, they claim there is no threat while blasting Bush for allegedly not doing enough to defuse the threat.
Puppets, all.

NDT says:
While the Clinton administration did in fact uphold and continue the large cuts in defense that Bush I implemented, (remember the “Peace Dividend”?), the Cole was vulnerable primarily due to human error, including a failure to follow pre-existing regulations on security, not due to a lack of equipment. The most advanced radar in the world can’t do a damn thing if a human being doesn’t flip the switch on.
If you take a little trip around military portion of San Diego harbor today, you will find that the two main pieces of equipment used to safeguard ships from a similar attack is a pair of human eyes and a little rubber zodiac boat with cute armed men aboard.
NDT Says;
And NDT demonstrates perfectly why you can’t trust the GOP as being serious on security either. Their only goal is to discredit or blame everything on the Democrats in order to retain power, not improve national security. Blame, blame, blame, is the name of YOUR game.
Peter:
If there were to be a repeat of 9/11 this coming Monday, it is primarily the GOP that would most likely benefit politically, as it did in 2001. You apparently would define this as “good for the country”, because at least it would keep the GOP in charge. (no matter how incompetent that leadership is) Not to mention morally degenerate.
Comment by Patrick (Gryph) — September 7, 2006 @ 1:25 pm - September 7, 2006
#13 – Gramps, knowing you and your leftist allies in both the MSM and blogosphere, I would think that YOU would be praying for a new 9/11 so you could (wrongly) point at the president and Congress and saying “it’s all your fault! You didn’t protect us enough!”
Of course, as we all know, it is the demoncRAT party that “killed the Patriot Act.” (That is a direct quote from Harry Reid, December 2005, for our friend Fraulein Eva Brown Sockpuppet.) So who would rightly get the blame?
And suffice to say, my maxim still holds true. You still would rather score political points over compromising the nation’s security. That is the problem with the RATS – they look upon governing the nation as their undisputed birthright like the old Soviet politburo.
Heck, you even admit that 9/11 was a political coup for the GOP, instead of focusing on how it changed America and not the American political process.
Remember the mantra of the Clinton regime: “Politics stops at the water’s edge.” Or does that only hold true for non-GOP administrations?
Game, set, match. You lose.

Um, no.
Really, Gryph, you’re hitting bottom on that one. Slandering a commander who was found to have acted in a reasonable and appropriate manner in order to protect your Clintonista masters.
Their only goal is to discredit or blame everything on the Democrats in order to retain power, not improve national security.
Actually, you’ve got it exactly reversed.
The GOP is the group that recognizes the threat that terrorists pose to the United States and is willing to act as necessary, including funding the military and homeland security.
The Dems are the ones trying to discredit or blame everything on the Republicans — as you just illustrated with your smear of Commander Lippold.

Let it be shown that I have not actually accused Commander Lippold of ANYTHING. This is yet just another typical response from the peanut gallery here. If I say something you don’t like, but are unwilling to face squarely, you manufacture an opinion, claim it is mine, and attack it instead. You guys use the same tactic on all dissenters from your sick narrow idealogical obsessions.
However NDT, as long as YOU and only YOU have brought up the subject of Commander Lippold, I will point out that it certainly wasn’t the Democrats who denied him his promotion last month.

And if, BTW, IF the GOP cared so damn much about the military, then why did it cut funding in half for research into treatment of War-related TBI – Traumatic Brain Injury?
In case your partisan-addled consciousness wasn’t aware of it. TBI is the “signature” wound of soldiers from the Iraq conflict. Mainly due to the concussive blast of IEDs, which cause the brain to swell. (Hearing loss is also a common ailment).
Yet your never-saw-pork-it-didn’t-like GOP-controlled Congress cut funding from 14 million to 7 million this year. And keep in mind that even 14 million is just enough to pay for about 14 researchers and supporting framework such as lab equipment etc.
But my goodness, the GOP must be just SO serious about the WOT. Not to mention the Bush Pentagon:
USA TODAY:
Research that of course the Bush Administration knows their fellow GOP buddies in Congress won’t fund.

Interesting how ‘Independent’ Gryph always attacks Republicans and always defends Democrats, and always attacks Bush and always defends Clinton. How independent!
Comment by V the K — September 7, 2006 @ 3:28 pm - September 7, 2006
Let it be shown that I have not actually accused Commander Lippold of ANYTHING.
Mhm. I quote:
While the Clinton administration did in fact uphold and continue the large cuts in defense that Bush I implemented, (remember the “Peace Dividend”?), the Cole was vulnerable primarily due to human error, including a failure to follow pre-existing regulations on security, not due to a lack of equipment.
Furthermore, I am interpreting this according to your rule, which is that, when people on the ground (or deck in this case) screw up, it’s not their fault; it’s their commander’s fault. You have made a name for yourself here screaming about how the fact that Abu Ghirab and other abuses came about cannot be blamed on the soldiers on the ground, but on the fact that their commanders, all the way up to the top, did not give good enough orders and thus are to blame.
Therefore, you have directly accused Commander Lippold.
And what I find is funny is that you are now insisting that it was wrong to deny him a promotion — after your argument that it was his human error that led to the Cole being bombed.
In my opinion, Warner, for reasons known only to himself, is acting like an ass on this. Lippold was not at fault; his hands were tied by pandering Democrats who demanded that the military not defend itself even when attacked.
But, Gryph, in order to criticize Warner’s decision, you need to admit that Lippold was not at fault — and if you continue to insist that he was, then you cannot criticize Warner’s decision.
And if, BTW, IF the GOP cared so damn much about the military, then why did it cut funding in half for research into treatment of War-related TBI – Traumatic Brain Injury?
Let me draw your attention to another quote in the first article you cited, Gryph:
The Brain Injury Center, devoted to treating and understanding war-related brain injuries, has received more money each year of the war — from $6.5 million in fiscal 2001 to $14 million last year. Spokespersons for the appropriations committees in both chambers say cuts were due to a tight budget this year.
In short, funding has increased every single year. Even with the cut, it’s still more than the research was getting in fiscal 2001 — the last year the Clintonista budget was in place.
And again, the old hypocrite Gryph comes out — the one who whines about Republicans spending too much, but then goes apocalyptic when they don’t spend more, even though what they’re spending now is greater than the amount that was spent when Dems were divvying out the money.
In short, Gryph claims the Dems are supporting the troops when they give less than $6.5 million, but claims the Republicans are telling the troops “F*** you” when they give MORE than $6.5 million.
In short, Gryph’s only rationale for anything is, “Democrat GOOD, Republican BAD”.

Dear Patrick,
I’m sorry that your rage against the military leadership, our troops, the Bush Administration, your President’s effort to bring democracy and stability to Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as America’s and the Free World’s combined effort to take the battles in the WOT to the terrorists’ home court is such cause for venom on your part.
I think it would be far better if you took some time to reflect on the notion that patriotism begins in the heart, that part of our civic duty is to work within the system and political parties for change rather than to impotently rage against perceived slights by ‘da Man (as you have done here repeatedly) and to find some saving Grace in your soul that God put there years and years and years ago –and which you’ve seemed to forgotten or ignored.
It is not hard to leave the vindictive, venomous world of the Democrat Plantation. You just put down your VictimHoodCard and exit stage Right… stage Left is kind of packed with loonies these days.
You can do it, Patrick. I know you can. Dare I wirte it? WE know you can.
It’s just a question of taking that first foot step… slide the walker forward… take another. Leave the Plantation today, Patrick.

She was supposed to have gone to a FatFarm in the UP but it didn’t work… the WhippeyDip was only a block away and Tuesday-Saturday nights were DairyDoesABodyGood Nites.
So, the new strategy –since dieting didn’t work too well– is to put her alongside others who will allow her to win the beauty contest

or make her look “trim” by comparison

My last one tonight – Back on the topic of gas prices:
My memory says that a few months ago, our Kos Moonbat contingent were positively gloating over the prospect of $4/gallon prices – like it had already happened.
I spent a minute in the search facility, didn’t come up with much, but did get this example.
Unfortunately, the moonbat in question signed off in spectacular fashion (such as even Gryph would envy) and is not around – that I know of – to acknowledge his mistake.
But I’m sure he was using some lefty talking points memo and our other moonbats can fill in for him.

You are smelling yourself again dearie.
I, unlike some such as St. Caralato of the Blogs, have never claimed to be anything other than a troll. Which is what I am. I live under an actual bridge in fact. I have no problem with the designation.
My problem with you and the St. and MIss, is simply that if anyone happens to not approve of something the GOP or its darling little boy are doing, the only explanation you are willing to subscribe to is that they must be some agent of KOS or some other liberal org.
The concept that someone could actually disagree with what the President and the GOP are doing without being a member of either party isn’t one you can even comprehend. Its either A or B, Black or White, or Blue or Red with you. No grey, no nuance, no moderations. Your brains are so polarized that you probably don’t even need UV protection at the beach.

While I’m personally happy that the price of gas has gone down (I paid $2.47/gallon today), I’ve never understood why the high price of gas was an argument against the Republicans. Democrats should cheer high gas prices. If you want to discourage the use of fossil fuels and dependence on foreign oil, the best way to do it is to raise the price. Higher gas prices spur the growth of cheaper, less polluting alternatives (hybrids, mass transportation, whatever).

#34: “When oil goes and stays over $70/barrell the sand oils of Canada become profitable to refine”
Maybe, maybe not. See http://tinyurl.com/z6xq7 One of the problems with oil sands and shale oil is the EROEI (energy return on energy invested) which hovers between 1 and 3 – anything below 1 means you have to put more energy in than you get out. I remember in the 1970’s that people were touting shale oil if the price of conventional oil went and stayed above $30/bbl; now the magic number seems to be $75 to $100. At some point of course, it will likely be viable but not before we have some serious price spikes in conventional oil that will be painful.

#41: So, once again, the old reliable Sullivan/Kos talking point that anyone who doesn’t call the president ‘Chimpy McHitlerburton’ and buy into every crackpot conspiracy theory that foams up from the septic tank of the left is a mindless robot who never criticizes the president.
Except that we have repeatedly criticized Bush’s reckless spending, his signing of campaign finance reform, his nomination of Harriet Miers, his pro-Amnesty position on illegal immigration, his dangerous open borders policy, and many other policies.
It is, in fact, the left who can not criticize the leadership of their Cult of Personality, as evidence by the recent campaign of intimidation against ABC for daring to put out a program critical of Clinton’s terror approach. A program that apparently put just as much blame on Bush, but you didn’t hear any whining and seething about that.

Can you imagine the moonbat explosion if someone from the present administration tried to STOP a made-for-TV movie from being aired? They would be going bonkers!
Ironically enough, the Clintonistas are demanding “honesty” from a network that is depicting their own DISHONESTY (see Monica Lewinsky, Filegate, Impeachment, Berger Pants-Stuffing et al). Now that is rich.
And in a further twist that will cause the DNC to implode, the same people who are urging ABC to kill the 9/11 drama are the same ones who sanctioned the fictionalized and libelous “Reagans” miniseries on CBS (http://www.broadcastingcable.com/CA334711.html).
I saw a moonbat bumper sticker that said “Give me back my civil rights.” Now we know who took them – the Clinton regime.
ABC = All Because of Clinton

Grampa: “What? And turn into someone that thinks like you guys? What a stomach-churning, revolting idea.”
Yeah, my sentiments exactly. The thought of you actually getting a brain and a conscience is enough to make me want to puke, too. Then you’d be much more dangerous than you are now.

Yeah, thinking about issues and forming rational, fact-based opinions is hard. It’s much easier just to emote and spew, isn’t it, Gryph?

Sorry Patrick, but VdaK and Peter nailed ya’ roundly on the forehead.
You had the opportunity –it’s disappointing you continue to serve radical GayLeft partisan interests so willingly.

in rural Pennsylvania gasolines $2.52. Each ten cent drop in gas prices is worth 2% for Santorum. 3 more debate performances by Casey like last weeks equals victory for principled Rick Santorum.
Yeah it is interesting that Republicans are hurt by high gas prices when it’s the Dems who do everything they can to raise em and keep em high.Lack of drilling. 40 fuel blends. Push for BTU taxes and as much as 50cent a gallon further taxes. Question: if gasoline falls to $2 by election day will Gore HRC Reid actually suggest a tax increase?

#54 – Not unless the RATS have a political death wish.
As I’ve always said – if it’s good for America, it’s bad for the RATS. I hear that the Reid/Pelosi/Dean faction is waiting for another terrorist attack to boost their own ratings. I hope it’s only a rumor.

#55: It amuses me that you refer to the minority party as ‘Rats,’ because where I went to high school, ‘rats’ was the slang expression for losers and burnouts… i.e. the Democrat Base.

RIGHT!! HA-HA LOL. THEY [LIBERAL-DEMS] ALWAYS SOUND LIKE WHINELESS-SPINELESS LITTLE BABIES. IT’S ALL BUSHES FAULT!! WAH-WAH!!

#57 – Actually, BP, the demoncRATS always sound like “whineless-spineless little babies.” Because they mistakenly believe that ultimate power in the government is their birthright, they will never be content with being the MINORITY party in the US government.
And yes, in the case of them being so whiny about their status in DC, yes – it is Bush’s fault. And Rove’s. And the electorate’s. Because we all see them for what they are – scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites.
Checkmate.

We used to hear the Libs say they wanted gas taxed all the way up to $6 a gallon, which they said would force people to drive less and use public transportation more. This would decrease pollution “just like in Europe.”
Then when gas climbed to $3 a gallon they complained that it was “hard on working families” and a big conspiracy between Bush and the oil companies. I didn’t hear even one Lib say, “Yeah but guys, think about the lowered emissions if people start driving less” because they were all too busy criticizing the Bush administration.

#59 – Good point! In fact, wasn’t it Algore who expounded on that theory?
Of course, he was also the same person who insisted that people who earned $250,000 a year could be considered “millionaires” after 4 years of earning that same wage. I guess he forgot that even with a quarter-million a year tax free, there would still be consumption…
Stupid is as stupid does.

It all makes sense, CG and PH, if you look at it from this perspective: Dem policies are meant to make people dependent on government.

Today the Dow closed up 101.25 (.9%), NASDAQ up 42.57 (2.0%) and oil fell to $63.75 – with predictions of crude futures as low as $50 or LESS.
Any guess as to why the libtards are wailing in their hairshirts and gnashing their teeth? Could it be because the ECONOMY IS BOOMING?
Peter’s Principle of Politics #13 – If it’s good for America, it’s bad for the libtards.
Bank on it.

Here in Michigan, in my neighborhood, gas prices are now down to $2.24/gal –its got the Left whistling “I Left My heart in SF”.
I love taking our Hummer with the Bush sticker to the pump, filling it up while whistling “Happy Days are Here Again” and watching scorn fill the faces of my FarLeft friends and neighbors at busy gas station on the corner. Curious enough, we’re the only home in our neighborhood that flies an American flag. Hmmm.
I wish we had two Hummers some days.
