They drive hybrid “smugmobiles”

LOL, love ‘smugmobiles’. Stealing it!

Gas is up to $2.90 today, from $2.86–where I live in Colorado. Are gas prices A LOT higher in other states? If so, then WHY?

My last fill was $3.21 for premium in Colorado Springs last weekend.

What’s up with the other 42 percent?

Getting their gas and or transport from the teat of government no doubt.

I live in Colorado, and work in Wyoming where gas is cheaper. In Wyoming, it is now $2.99 to $3.03, so I’m sure Colorado has gone up too. State taxes can make a big difference in the price of gas from location to location.

Crude priced in Gold is probably low compared to crude priced in dollars.

I had the same exact conversation practically with a semi-liberal co-worker a few months back. I pointed out that gas had gotten down to the $1.60/gallon range in our area after Bush’s actions in 2008, and he just would not believe that it had gotten that cheap.

I had to dig up actual chart statistics for our area to prove my point!

It’s so frustrating when so many otherwise bright people can be so dense when it comes to issues such as these. They complain about whatever the problem happens to be, but ultimately vote in the same types of people over and over again who have so clearly caused the problem in the first place without even thinking about it…

Im Georgia, under President George W. Bush, gasoline bottomed at $.89 a gallon, late 2002-early 2003. It was under a dollar a gallon for around six months.

We tend to forget times when it is cheap.

According to a recent AP/GFK poll, 58 percent of Americans disapprove of his handling of high gas prices. What’s up with the other 42 percent?

I’ll tell you what’s up with the other 42 percent. They are far-left Obama supporters who either support the Enviro Industry or work for the Enviro industry. They drive hybrid “smugmobiles” such as Volts, Leafs, Prius’s (Priae?). Or they are Limousine Libtards who are filthy rich and high gasoline costs aren’t on their radar screen (filthy rich as in they got their wealth via Crony Capitalism, not free-market capitalism).

In short, the other 42 percent don’t care about our country, don’t care about American jobs, don’t care about the American economy, and sure as hell don’t care that under their watch, the American debt has almost doubled in less than 4 years of their irresponsible incompetency.

Thank you both. I appreciate that feedback.

NONSENSE!

Shut up.

jawkneemusic on February 24, 2012 at 1:38 PM

All of his posts are nonsense; he’s just going for brevity this time…

They don’t believe it.

“NO way, dude HALLIBURTON, blah, blah, blah, oil buddies, blah, blah, blah, war for oil”.

Q for libs: If the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were for oil, why did oil increase in price in 2008? Explain GW Bush dropping the drilling moratorium as prices dropped below 2 dollars a gallon?

Liberals are stupid. If you can get them to believe in “hopeandchange” slogans, sponsored by the communist party and Alinsky, you can sell them anything.

The fact is the admistration increasing oil production is a LIE. Without new water injection well permits, oil production decreases every year.

Another LIE is that it takes 5 – 10 years for new oil production to the market. A new oil well can be on production within 30 days. A new well location can be setup so that portable tanks can hold the produced oil and water temporarily until a pipeline can be constructed, providing the EPA allows the permit.

LIE #3: domestic oil production is shipped to China? BS. Our production is shipped directly to a local refinery and used in ASouthern Calif.

I didn’t read your post before I posted, but thought that was the way it went.

Good info ITguy.

I hope the HotAir audience, in general, finds my comments helpful and not annoying.

ITguy on February 24, 2012 at 2:01 PM

As someone who’s generally found to be annoying, let me say your comments are not annoying.

You are absolutely correct that we need to get this word out, but I do find it difficult to convey hard numbers to “purply” friends, coworkers and relatives (the ones for whom I think there’s hope). If you get too far into the weeds, their eyes tend to glaze over and you can feel the “why should I bother to even vote, they’re all the same” kinda vibe.

I try to stick to general ratios like oil lease sales are “half” of what they were. Annual deficit has almost “tripled”. National debt is “double” what it was. I can usually hold their attention quite a bit longer than if I start throwing numbers like 13 Trillion at them.

rickv404 on February 24, 2012 at 1:56 PM

I thought a big part of the spike in 08 was because of the dem moratorium on drilling. A barrel of oil was 140. After Bush canceled the moratorium, within 6 moths a barrel was selling for 45.
I point this out to libs and they don’t believe it. They are blinded by their own extremist bullcrap. On dec 31 of 2008 a gallon of gas was 1.53.
They don’t believe it.

I figured ITguy would have already weighed in when I posted. Again, good stuff ITguy.

Thanks, DanMan.

I hope the HotAir audience, in general, finds my comments helpful and not annoying. There are certain things that I think we can’t emphasize enough… like this comparison. We need to get these numbers out to our friends and associates who don’t read HotAir.

Far from being “Bush’s fault”, things were actually very good under Bush and the Republican House and Republican Senate. Over the last five years, the Demonrats have absoultely tanked our economy.
