I guarantee you if this Country had elected a President that isnt Republican, someone the rest of the world dosent hate, and someone who isnt in bed with the Oil Companies, that it never wouldve got this bad.

Gas is that high because of a lot of different reasons. Some have to do with instability in the Middle Eastern area which has some to do with the Iraq war, but it is also problems in more stable regions like Saudi Arabia. It also has to do with the fact that the oil supply curve can't keep going up exponentially, but that is too big a topic to get into now.
I don't understand. I thought most people didn't want us to be going into Iraq for oil because that is wrong. "Imperialism at its worst". Now, when gas is getting expensive, you ask why it isn't cheaper since we won the war? Ai yiy yiy...
You cannot guarantee anything about who would have been a better president. You think Kerry would have been more in tune with your needs? Just because he didn't have the oil companies backing him doesn't mean he wasn't in bed with his own special interests. Kerry had as much crap on his plate as Bush. At least Bush stands for something and, although he has his issues, I think he stands for something, and he's not afraid to stand up for those issues.
