NH INSIDER

When a working single mother,struggling to make ends meet, has to choose between paying a 2 month old hospital bill, or putting gas in the family car because the guage read empty,we,ve reached a place in history where it,s time for them to go----them being the republican party, and their huge co-operate donars to pass the legislation they want affecting the costs of energy----it,s time for them to go----The look of complete frustration on the face of the lady in the best political mailing of 2006 so-far says it all----Congratulations to Jim Craig for this great portrayal of the little people, dependant on the profits of the big people for survival. It,s time for them to go, and sending Jeb Bradley into early retirement will be a great beginning for the little people---"The Rest Of Us". The avarage working American,struggling to get by---Carol Shea-Porter for Congress---"For The Rest Of Us". Miss Toni.

I totally agree with you Jim. I have been saying for the past few weeks, why are the prices getting lowered, nothing has changed, we do not have lots of new oil reserves, unless someone has been keeping this secret.

The news media finally has started talking about this, and some have said, yes it is probably linked to the elections, and some others are saying, well Iran is better than we expected, and the BP oil pipe incident in Alaska wasn't that bad.

I seem to think, GW, just picked up the phone and called his friends in big oil and said, I am in a pickle here, no one is trusting me, and it seems we might loose alot of elections. Please help! It is time we all stood up and say, shame on you, GW, for thinking us little folks would keep believing you!

The change in oil prices (as well as the weakening of all commodity prcies, globally) has more to do with the recent appreciation in the US dollar, then it does with any kind of conspiracy.

Oil is a globally priced commodity. Net of taxes, transportation and government subsidies, the price of oil here is EXACTLY the sale price it is in China, Jordan, England or any other country.

Sorry LB, no one really buys that. We know the aliens are in charge and like high gas prices because they skim off the profits to buy more guava juice to power their own spaceships.

To say that the present administration and its head knucklehead has something to do with the manipulation of the present and past price of gas. I'd be the first to say that there is a conspiracy. I wouldn't let anything by with an adminstration that can't be truthful about anything. However, it is unfortunatetly that I think the market force are to blame, albeit, King George "may" have tried something.
