Well it looks like our gas prices are going to go back up since it looks Bush is going to win this election again. Yesterday on tv, they were saying that if kerry won, the cost of barrel for crude oil would fall around to $42. for a little bit yesterday the cost of the barrel of oil fell down to around $48 a barrel but when the market people heard bush was in the lead, it went straight back up to $50+ a barrel of oil.

I've seen no such predictions...

It seems far fetched to me. Do you have sources?

"They" also said Kerry was winning handily. Perhaps "They" were just as full of prunes about what would happen with oil prices?

You'd think the Dub and his Saudi friends would cut cost on oil as a thank you to the Americans for re-electing the Dub;)

It's not predictions, it's fact.

Just look in the Oil thread, it's well documented there.


The Oil Thugs remain in power so they get to keep maximum profits.

Proof? Link? I trade in the commodities markets(oil, soybeans, OJ, etc, and I didn't see this. I smell BS.

I'm not actually saying that this can't be true, but that article does not give the info I was looking for.

That is about Kerry's accusation that that is the case and whether or not the way Texas A&M students vote will be affected by that.

Interesting....

That is the kind of data I like...

However, I noticed...

Since Bush took office in 2000, automobile production in China has increased by over 900% per year!!!

Coincidence?

I'm sure that that they Kerry camp would of loved to have this information.

:roll:

No kidding. I should benefit in at least SOME way from having to put up with his dumb ass for another term.
