…Soros were behind the spike in oil prices to $140 plus dollars per barrel, purposely driving the price up to sink the Republican Party’s chances in November?

What if, do to the tumultuous negative response to the Democratic Party’s anti drilling stance, he decided that it wasn’t so hot an idea after all and pulled the plug on that tactic?

If you were looking for Daddy Warbucks, Georgie would be your man. Tremendously wealthy, knowledgeable and fluent in all the futures markets and their nuances, you couldn’t find a person better positioned to pull something like that off.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know markets are too large to be manipulated by one man or one group of men, but Georgie wants all of us to have whatever drug we want at the moment we want it without any red tape or governemental repercussion really badly. The same goes for satisfying our loins. He feels that we as a people should be able to satisfy our loins in whatever fashion turns us on, on whomever or whatever turns us on: male, female, young, old, goat, sheep, calf, mountain lion. He wants that badly as well.

I have thought that Soros might have been behind this for several weeks. You’re right that one man cannot minipulate the markets, but, when you look at the number of Leftists, like Soros, Peter Lewis or Progressive Insurance, etc, that are also involved in hedge funds, then the idea is no longer as far fetched. Hedge funds are where the speculators live.

If the same are behind the oil drop? Maybe trying to make it a nonissue for the election since the energy crisis has put the Democrats on the ropes?

I’ve been wondering that. Katrina started the upward trend here, spiking prices to almost $3/gallon then. People complained then. And the Democrats had a cause: price gouging. There was a slight downward trend from there,and people stopped complaining although prices weren’t back to pre-Katrina levels. Then, the Democrats rode “Bush Lied, People Died” and spendthrift Republicans to victory in ’06. Now, they’ve run out of things to fall back upon because of the upswing in demand from other countries.

If the price swings down too far, the Dems can declare it no longer an issue and ride that into the November elections after which point they won’t care one way or another.

The fact that we truly do need energy independence won’t matter at all to them or anybody else as long as the pain at the pump recedes.

Don’t you find it just a little too coincidental that they start dropping now, since Obama is not wowing voters in the polls after all the talk of $200/barrel oil?

It wouldn’t be the first time “outsiders” took an active interest in our federal elections.
