We need a democrat elected so the rest of the world will like us, plain and simple.

You do realize that "Farienheit" 9/11 has been debunked about 1,000 times, right? I could post numerous links to information debunking just about all of Michael Moore's films, but I've already done so about 1,000 times and you obviously have little interest in any information that dares to alter your world view.
Your logic is so simplistic, it keeps you from having to think for yourself, which is a habit people like Michael Moore love. So what I'm aiming this information at is not you, but anyone else who has an open mind who happens to be reading this thread.
1) The government makes more money the higher gas prices go, not necessarily the oil companies. Oil companies generally keep a fixed profit (give or take a few cents per gallon) margin on their product by gallon, while our GOVERNMENT taxes oil on a percentage on every stage of production (especially US oil) from when it comes out of the ground (US) to when it arrives to the shore (foreign).
The TAXES on gasiline from beginning to end account for nearly half the cost of gas, if not more. Oil companies have been reaping profits on VOLUME because of the skyrocketing demand, not price increases.
2) I'm surprised Jason1 didn't start screaming about "HaLLuBorton" and Cheyney's money from the blood of innocent baby cripples. The fact is that Cheyney has not been involved with "Halleeburtin" for years and the reason why they get no-bid contracts is because they are one of the few companies in the world that does the job that needs to be done, and by consensus among objective minded people, they are the best at it. Does that mean no shenanigans have ever gone on? No, but that has more to do with individuals making unethical decisions than a vast conspiracy.
3) Jason1's logic is specious at best. He says that the rest of the world hates Bush and Cheyney, so we should too (to paraphrase). There are plenty of reasons to dislike Bush and Cheyney, but that is not one of them. I have plenty of them if you'd like to hear them. Did your mother ever ask you
"If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you follow?" I know mine did, and the lesson I'm stating here is just as easy to follow. The rest of the world hates Bush and Cheyney, and they might have every right to, but the fact that they hate them is an idiotic REASON to hate them as well. If your going to hate someone, at least know why you do instead ofbeing a blind siccophant of those like Michael Moore.
