Oil dropping just before the election - any surprise?
Don't give me any bullshit about "stronger dollar, falling demand, end of summer, blah blah blah" bullshit.

We all know that BushCO is heavily involved in the oil industry, and what kind of ties they have with rogue nations like Saudi Arabia. This is nothing more than a blatant attempt to buy the fucking election.

5. I heard oil analyst say....
..that if OPEC doesn't cut production right away.. gas will be $2.50 the week before elections. By Christmas (of course) it will be back at $5 a gallon. Market manipulation at its finest... but certainly not a surprise.
