What is the basis for your belief that the oil companies are not gouging. when id price of crude kept rising by the day, the prices at the pump kept rising by 3 to 5 cents a gallon every day. But now the price of crude has been falling for the past 4 or 5 days and I do not see a proportional fall in prices at the pump. YOu probably have a reason as to why this happens, quick on the rise of the prices but very very slow for it to go down. Furthermore, companies like Exxon have made millions in profits when they bought crude at $50 a barrel but by the time they refined and brought that barrel to the pump they were selling it as if they bought the barrel at $70 each. That $70 a barrel was bought by China and India, not Exxon, would you agree?

Shameful to see Bushies defending the gas gougers and war profiteers. It's your money they're stealing too, bubba. And they're not doing the US or the planet any good. In fact, they're only doing themselves good. No better than a pack of Mafia dons. They're corporate and political criminals. You know, after Charles Colson was putn in prison for masterminding Nixcon's dirty tricks, he broke down, confessed to God and begged forgiveness from all those people he'd hurt unfairly. Among them young John Kerry. We may be seeing a lot more Charles Colsons soon from this administration and its corporate allies. But first, investigations, ending the war and windfall profits taxes are in order.
