What in the hell is everyone talking about when they infer that the price of oil is dropping because of the election? To whose political benefit is this supposed to be to, and who is supposed to be behind it?
Look I’m about as liberal as they come, but what candidate would benefit from oil going down, and how exactly would they control such a thing as a candidate?
I’m well aware of the Bush/Saudi connection however because the candidates are not claiming any praise for the price of oil plummeting how would they benefit? It just seems that we’re supposed to infer that McCain as a Republican is linked to big oil and that somehow as a result the oil industry is artificially lowering prices because of his candidacy (?) and how would the public respond positively to this, knowing that there is market manipulation?
