  The rolling ball needs to be stopped! Not continue to roll into Iran or bounce around Iraq for 100 yrs. The only thing McCain has shown it that he CAN NOT seperate himself from the last 8yrs, he CAN NOT find himself from 2000 and he CAN NOT let go of the campaign by FEAR mentality that has been the republican way since 9/11. The problem for McCain is that it is only he and the SMALL heard of Bush sheeple who are afraid of the "brown boogeymen". The other 85% of America have more realistic concerns and some fears, but those are for our country, our children, our economy, healthcare, enviroment, our general well being as a country. Not "Freddy Alibaba Cruger" or "Micheal the Sheik Meyers", real fears, real concerns. War is your answer for everything and it solves NOTHING, not these wars, not "WARS FOR OIL".

  TYLER - The price of oil swelled to another record high Monday morning - before dropping back. It almost hit $140 a barrel - but then fell 25 cents. It appears - a recent increase in oil output from Saudi Arabia -- is not driving down crude prices. Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, who started a bipartisan group called "American Solutions for Winning the Future" held little back at the Texas Republican Convention. He wants to use American solutions to change to the U.S. energy policy.
  
  Simply put - he's fed up with Congress: "The problem is not big oil or the foreigners," said Speaker Gingrich. "The problem is not the Saudis. The problem is getting Congress to do it's job." And that job, he says, is to start using the energy we have. "Congress outlaws every conceivable energy source," said Speaker Gingrich. Gingrich is making his case for domestic drilling by launching a campaign with Actor Chuck Norris, with the slogan: "Drill here, Drill now, Pay less." The campaign is urging Congress to do something now to bring down gas prices. Speaker Gingrich also has thoughts on speculators. "It's people who are betting the U.S. is too dumb to produce (its own oil)."
  
  
  He sides with East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert -- when it comes to speculators and drilling. "If you began selling off two million barrels a day...we can pump out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It would immediately bring down the price of oil." Speaker Gingrich proposes selling off half of the reserve - now. "Do it suddenly..without telling anybody in advance and punish every speculator."The very speculators, he says, that are betting against America."

  You should work for FOX Noise (where you got your "facts") Jsut a few points I'd like to add ;)
  KATRINA!!! Oil companies saw it as an opertunity to JACK PRICES and NEVER lowered them back down.
  
  2.19 and CLIMBING DAILY!!! since bush took office
  
  4.5 and CLIMBING since bush took office.
  
  Bush's business buddies got rich off the Housing industries and then the bubble broke, due to gas prices, and 12billion a month in IRAQ, cost of living skyrocketing and income dropping, thanks to Bush.
  
  Do you know how many "VETOS" Bush issued from 00 to 06?...0!, NONE!, NOT ONE EVER IN THAT TIME. Since 06 he has issues more than 100 VETOS, and still going. No as of late and as of the republicans trying to hold their seats, his veots are being blocked. How ever the republicans blocked what ever they could from the democrats and if they could not by a vote, Bush would veto. So you see it is still the republicans who were deatroying this country in every way they could. McCain would love to do the SAME AS BUSH.
  Quoting McCain..."I have a VETO pen in my pocket and I WILL NEVER STOP USING IT!"
  It's amazing how "different" he is from bush...lol
  
  nice try though.
