Amazing how the gas pump prices keep going lower and lower...hmmm...

No new refineries and no apparent reduction in demand, but....

Gas Price Manipulation to Influence Elections?

If the major energy companies are dropping gas prices to help their good friend and partner George Bush, and to influence the November elections, they should be charged and prosecuted. For What?

By dropping prices, they are in a sense, making a contribution to the Republican party-- potentially billions of dollars.

If it isn't against the election laws, it should be.

We're already seeing prices as low as $2.39 in PA and NJ. It won't be surprising to see the prices dip to under $2.00 by election day.

This was predictable-- too predictable. It reflects the arrogance of the energy companies and their willingness to do everything they can to influence the USA's elections-- distorting, poisoning the democratic process.

Let's be clear. These transnational entities are enemies of democracy. They know they will be losing billions in corporate welfare if the Democrats take power, as well they should.

I'm hoping that, if and when the Democrats take the house (assuming e-voting doesn't help steal the elections) that the energy companies get hit hard, very hard with tariffs, royalties and regulations. They are parasites that have zero interest in the humans living in the USA.
