More discontent with Congress

The Washington post has reported that Americans are not only unhappy with President Bush handling of Iraq but also with the way the Democrats have been handling the pressure from the White House and the Republicans. It seems to me and a lot of others that they have consistently caved in to pressure from Bush and from his zealot Republican cadre in both the Senate and House.
"Deep public skepticism about Iraq, concerns about the Democrats and Bush, and near-record-high gasoline prices appear to have combined to sour the overall mood in the country. In the new poll, 73 percent of Americans said the country is pretty seriously on the wrong track, while 25 percent said things are going in the right direction."
I've said it time and time again, the sooner Bush is out of office the better. I really can't believe that the Democrats can be so cowardly with the Bully tactics that the Bush administration is foisting on us. Come on Guys, for Pete's sake get some backbone and stand up to them.

THE CONSPIRACY ON GAS PRICES
I personally believe that there is a conspiracy going on with the oil cartel and those supplying the gasoline that runs our cars. Whether you believe it or not the oil producers and refiners are manipulating the prices. They are purposely slowing down production in order to raise prices. Along with that they are using lame excuses such as some inconsequential natural disaster to blame the slowdown on. I don't believe that for one second and neither should you. Another thing I have noticed is the rise in the gas prices on the weekend and lowering by midweek. It happens EVERY week. They then sneak the price up a penny or two once in a while steadily rising the price to barely tolerable levels.
I think what the American people need is Government regulation NOW! Granted we don't have infinite supplies, but we don't need to gouged at the pump either.
Hey am I right or what? Give us your opinion.
