The entire congress went on their 5 week vacation.

Yup. The Dem leadership called for it.

And the Republicans are still there? Um, nope...

Think they'd be ****ed if Bush called for an emergency session -
which, as president, is his right? Think they would pass a bill to
get more oil instead of squeezing us?

I imagine the entire Congress would tell him to go pound sand. And I rather
suspect the Congress is smart enough to realize they can't "pass a bill to get
more oil", and that most people are smart enough to realize Congress isn't
responsible for the price of oil in the first place.

As for "we suffer with high gas prices", you've never lost an opportunity to
tell everyone here how wealthy you think you are, so should you really be
including yourself in that "we"?

Hahahahahahahaha. Yeah, but if hate was a commodity, you'd be the
richest man in Massachusetts. Along with being the 2nd cheapest -
your buddy Kerry is first. d;o)

So, that's the best you can do with that question? Call me a hater? Call me
cheap? That's nice work you're doing. Hope you're proud of it.

Assuming you're one of the morons who thinks we should immediately allow the
oil companies to drill in environmentally sensitive areas that are currently
off-limits, do you really think that will change the price of oil today?
If so, please explain as best as you can why that would be? That ought to be
good for a laugh or two.

Yeah, the morons from China are planning to drill in the waters off of
the Florida Keys.

And?

Ya wanna bet if Congress ok'd drilling off the
continental shelf that the price of a barrel of oil would immediately
drop?

Seems to me *you* are the moron who actually believes it would. And I'm still
waiting for you to explain why that would happen.

And while you're at it, explain why the domestic oil companies actually would
want the price of oil to go down? And why they haven't been drilling in the
tens of millions of acres that they already hold leases on - including areas
off the coast?

"Environmentally sensitive areas?" Yeah, the north coast of
Alaska was the same thing back 30 years ago, and the environment
hasn't suffered one bit.

Apparently, you had your head buried up your ass even back then (why does that
not surprise me?) and totally missed what happened along the Alaskan coast.
Not to mention what happened along the Californian coast - repeatedly.
Apparently, you don't give a crap about environmental consequences, period.

Where they want to drill in ANWR is but a
stone's throw from where they are now drilling.

And?

You better hope Obama doesn't win, 'cause it is gonna cost you dearly to heat your home
during those wonderfully cold NE winters. d;o)

I'll deal with it, and without whining about the price like you, and without
the delusion that McSame would have done anything about oil prices. Unlike
you, I am most concerned about the good of the country, and not my wallet.

Dave (the rich one who isn't a dope head)

ahahahahahaha! In spite of having given it up over a year ago, I gladly will
wear that moniker, if only because it separates me from mindless assholes like
you...
