Grassley: We Need To Tell OPEC To Lower Their Oil Prices

[Strelnikov_]

but he does not think there is any gouging on gas prices going on right now, US market is just fine.

If this is the quality of our leadership, we are screwed.

Note: OPEC exists in name only today, they have no spare capacity, therefore no effect on pricing. The current problem is refinery capacity, leading to gouging for refined product.

1. I am from Iowa and am so, so embarrased to say Grassley is

also from my state. Yes this is the type of BS we get from him all the time. He is the sponsor of the greatest boondoggle pork in the history of pork - the rainforest in the middle of Iowa.

2. Let's make this clear...WE are not responsible for Chuck Grassley

The republican voters of Iowa are! :hi: rurallib

3. But...but...free trade is your god.

What are you going to do, declare war on the entire universe and take everything from them?

4. Grassley's campaign in 2004

He boasted driving to all 99 counties (yes, we got 99 of them) in his car every year. By himself. Gee, that's a lot of gas, Senator. For a guy whose reputation is one of being a deficit hawk, he sure does know how to spend taxpayers money.
