Congresswoman Michell Bachmann, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination who won the Ames Straw Poll last weekend, has just stated that one thing we'd get with a Bachmann Administration is – ready? – cheap gasoline. According to Politico she said:

The day that the president became president, gasoline was $1.79 a gallon. Look at what it is today. Under President Bachmann, you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again. That will happen.

Yeah, she is a batshit insane Teabagger, but holy crap I don't care. As long as she can bring back $2 gas, I could care less about who's in office.

This dumb broad has my vote. :thumbsup:

Does Bachmann now take a stupidity lead over Palin?

You aren't at all curious how she is going to achieve that? That's something I'd care about before casting a vote, particularly if I'm single issue voter.

Also - how much less could you care?

Hey, if she says she can do it, she can do it. Conservatives wouldn't tell the public blatant lies to get what they want - would they?

 

[Budmantom]

I hear ya, but Obarry the communist Irish Muslim promised us jobs and we are still waiting.

 

[Fear No Evil]

Dave McCowen says gas will be $5.. I trust him.

Is Obarry still the smartest of the dimocrats?

Good lord. Bachman controls OPEC?!

Wait, does Bachman know what OPEC is?

REEEEALLLLYYY wearing out the mileage on that one there.

Hey Nixon did it, why can't she?

Of course price controls are usually a horrible idea.

 

[MovingTarget]

So what, is she proposing price controls? Extensive regulation of speculation? Kicking ExxonMobil's CEO in the nuts?

She has no plan except drilling in ANWR. That won't put a dent in the price of gas. There isn't anywhere near enough of it there, and oil is still sold on the world market.

i think so.

in no way am i a hardcore liberal "omg republicans suck" but to promise $2 gas is absolutely stupid for a variety of reasons....

 

[LegendKiller]

Gotta love cherry picking data to suit your needs. Gas was well above $2.00 for the last 2 years of Bush's term.

 

[JSt0rm]

if she gives us under $2 gas put her in for life.

 

[RbSX]

Yeah because she can defeat the law of supply and demand. What a bat shit crazyz lunatic.

 

[K1052]

So she is proposing the nationalization of all private oil companies?

I didn't see that one coming.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Supply and demand isn't the only issue, speculators are one of the other issues.

 

[RbSX]

Supply and demand isn't the only issue, speculators are one of the other issues.

Yeah but not nearly as big of a problem as the fact that China/India and a litany of other countries such as Brazil are growing at a torrent pace while petrol supplies aren't growing..

 

[K1052]

Supply and demand isn't the only issue, speculators are one of the other issues.

Ok as realistic options we have:

1) Nationalize all oil companies operating inside US territory.

2) Remove oil from the futures markets

3) Intentionally crash world economy to reduce demand

4) Release entire SPR at once to artificially suppress fuel prices for a short window

5) Intentionally cause deflation by restricting the money supply and freezing the bond markets

 

[silverpig]

1. Nationalize oil companies
2. Pull out of global market for oil
3. Invade Canada
4. Blow up Canada (people, not the oil), the blue states, and California (even if they go red when they see which way the wind is blowing)
5. Re-invade Iraq
6. Keep collecting SS payments, but don't pay any out and use the excess to buy gas for everyone

$1.25 gasoline

Lets do all of those things.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

I heard Al Qaida promises $1 gas when you vote for them! And they're less dangerous and insane than the Tea Party!

 

[OCGuy]

Her and mcowned should make babby

 

[ProfJohn]

Anyone else hear the sound of desperation??

She is toast and I think she knows it and is trying to do something to save her campaign.

 

[AbAbber2k]

She's a joke. Iowa Straw poll... LOL
