Democratic Underground - Get ready for a huge drop in gasoline prices,

albeit a temporary one. Just wait and see.

In an administration that has little or nothing left in their own gas tanks, this could be the final trump card for Bush, and if we're not on our toes, it could be a ploy that could possibly work.

I've been predicting on this forum for a long time that....just as much as these obscene gasoline prices are artificially created....they'll be artificially lowered dramatically sometime between now and October, just to appease the voters and set them up for the November elections. Life will seem good!

Mark my words. Bush and his oil producing minions will lower prices at the pumps by at least a half dollar a gallon before the November elections in a last ditch effort to buy another election for the Republicans.

In November of 2005 I posted:

If this isn't so blatantly obvious what Bush and the oil companies are up to, then I don't know what else to say. It's got more to do with dropping the price of gas than it does raising it. They got those gas prices so fucking high, that they in turn can lower them significantly, making the naive peasants think Bush is the greatest. "Look how low the prices are now! Woopie! I'm gonna vote Republican again!" Yet the idiots don't realize they're still paying way more than before Bush started the whole charade. It just SEEMS like they're not by comparison. Call it collusion or call it something, whatever it is, it's got to be illegal. This is just one more example of serious corruption that Bushco is behind.

You can bet your bottom dollar that prices in gasoline will drop at least another half dollar per gallon between now and the 2006 elections, and even though the price will still actually be brutal, it'll seem sweet compared to what we saw a few months ago until now. What a crooked bunch of bastards that are timing this whole price fluctuation thing based on the impending elections.

And once the elections are over, the prices will rise back to where they were this summer or even worse. If I'm wrong about the impending artificial temporary drop in prices coming between now and November, I'll gladly eat my crow!
