Are the Republicans Acting Like a Drug Cartel?

Question by Griggnax: Are the Republicans acting like a drug cartel?
A few years ago Bush told the world that Americans are “addicted to oil”.
Since then, the price of oil has skyrocketed, making some very rich people that much more rich.
To continue feeding our “addiction”, Bush has made trips to the Middle East begging for more of the black stuff, Republicans have been clamoring for drilling rights off the coast of the US, and today Bush lifted the executive ban on such drilling. Keep in mind Bush has had the authority to lift that ban for the past 7 years…but has waited until we’re all desperate for a “fix”.
It’s as if they recognize our addiction and will do everything in their power to keep us addicted, just as a cocaine cartel will do whatever it takes to keep the supply flowing.
Is this good governance, or the actions of a cartel keeping a stranglehold on their lucrative business, and to hell with the consequences?
sdrew33 and Tim: Thanks for supporting my point…It’s the Repubs who only care about feeding our addiction and making sure we get our “fix”.

It’s like a junkie saying he has a drug problem…that problem being he doesn’t have enough drugs, and the repubs want to keep him hooked.

There is no Bush oil conspiracy. Only a world market that surpasses democrats’ understanding.
