GAS PRICES PLUNGE! REPUBLICAN CONSPIRACY!

Here's an incredible article from USA Today:

WASHINGTON — There is no mystery or manipulation behind the recent fall in gasoline prices, analysts say. Try telling that to many. motorists.

Almost half of Americans believe the plunge at the pump has more to do with politics and the November elections, than economics.

Retired farmer Jim Mohr of Lexington, Ill., rattled off a tankful of reasons why pump prices may be falling, including the end of the summer travel season and the fact that no major hurricanes have disrupted Gulf of Mexico output.

"But I think the big important reason is Republicans want to get elected," Mohr, 66, said while filling up for $2.17 a gallon. "They think getting the prices down is going to help get some more incumbents re-elected."

According to a new Gallup poll, 42% of respondents agreed with the statement that the Bush administration "deliberately manipulated the price of gasoline so that it would decrease before this fall's elections." Fifty-three percent of those surveyed did not believe the conspiracy theory; 5% said they had no opinion.

Not surprising, almost two-thirds of those who suspect President Bush intervened to bring down energy prices before Election Day are registered Democrats, according to Gallup.

So, first Bush intervened to bring gas prices up so his "buddies in big oil" would profit, and now he is intervening to bring oil prices down so Republicans will win elections? So, which is it? Is George Bush the stupidest man ever to occupy the White House? Or is he the most brilliant, Machiavelian person in the history of the world, able to change global economics by just holding a back-room meeting? Pick a paranoid delusion and stick with it!

This is why Democrats should not be elected to any level of government. They are incapable of rational thought. How does a man like retired farmer Jim Mohr of Lexington, Ill live to the ripe old age of 66 with his learning disabilities? Or maybe it's the onset of Oldtimer's Disease.

What I would like to know is, "Has the price of tinfoil gone up lately?"

These people are either complete morons or evil. Either scenario is so very scary. The fact that there are so many millions of them does not bode well for civilization on this little planet.
