Bush won't stand for (Gasoline) Price Gouging
ummmm, isn't his whole family's status in the world based on petroleum price gouging.

I guess he won't stand for it because he doesnt want others cutting in on his turf.

4. Of course not. When you're making that much money, you can recline.

5. So he's essentially saying, the high prices will be justified!!!
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 11:58 AM by LaPera
Because it won't be "gouging" that's raising the prices, since "he'll see to that"... It's just that gas, on its way up to $4.00 a gallon, is because of the circumstances! RIGHT!!!!! Bullshit!!!!!

As Bush/Cheney and the oil companies get richer and richer watching their record quarterly profits rise.

6. Nah, he won't "stand for it"...He'll "bend over for it", though...
The ones doing the gouging are his "base;" the ones who put him in power; his "have mores."

Bush won't do a damn thing about gouging, at least where it counts.
