It could be that she is waiting for a democratic pres. because if she pushes it now Bush would veto it. Thats what Id do wait it out. Dont forget Bush is a oilman and he wants the prices high.:rasta::rastasmoke::pimp:

Wow PsychoBud, you seem so intelligent in your other posts. I'm not even a loyal Democrat at heart, and the holes in your logic make me cringe. How does having control of the Senate give the Democrat party the power to manipulate OPEC? ESPECIALLY in a country that is controlled by and have the power veto bestowed upon REPUBLICANS?

Jesus Christ..

Where the emphasis to gain independence from fossil fuels?

That's what I want to see, not a plan to tamper with the operation of the free market. We seen enough with the Iraq war. Bush severely miscalculated on using the war as an economic stimulus, not anticipating the subprime mess that's stifling the economy.

The current gas price should be a message to put emphasis on public transportation and developing alternate technologies such making hydrogen-powered cars more reliable and cheaper, a plan to implement a network of gas stations based on this technology. Stop sticking with the status quo, it's time to move away from oil & gasoline.

You got me wrong my friend. I don't think that the Senate, Congress OR the President can really do anything to OPEC. I'm just saying that we need to control our own food costs which is being drivin' up by the price of gas to the truckers. Give the truckers a break and pass along the expense to others that need OUR product like we need the oil/gas.

Who knows if it would work or not but we need to do something drastic real fast. I know the dems plan to add additional taxes to the oil companies isn't the answer.

Have a good one!:s4:
