OK

I don`t have proof but I`m sure the family does profit. They still have huge ties to the industry.

Show me some facts to the oil ties? You really think in this day in age the Bush family could be profiting from the high gas prices and no one would find out?? The media would jump ALL over this if the Bush's were making profits from high gas prices. I dont understand how people can make these statements with ZERO facts to back them up. You cant just assume something is true because you want it to be. prove me wrong and show me the facts they are profiting.

I'm pissed about the high gas prices too. But Bush is not sitting in the White house trying to come up with more ideas to F over the American people and line his pockets frim high gas.

Your dodging the issue at hand. So what if the Bush family has had ties to oil in the past. Yes thats a known fact but so what. I'm making the point that they are not profiting from these high gas prices regardless of the oil ties. Show me the profits the Bush's are making off thier ties to oil with these current high gas prices? Thats all i want to know! But you guys cant show me any facts to back up your claims. Its becuase they are NOT profiting from the current high prices. If you can prove they are just show me the evidence, i'm sure the media would love that too!

Didn't I just say that there isn't any proof Bush and his 60% dissaproval rating are directly profiting from oil prices?

Yes you did, i got you confused with the other dude on here who claims he has no facts but he just knows Bush is lining his pockets from these high gas prices.

Seems we agree on this one....

Sorry didn't mean to jump into a private feud, I didn't know if bush was lining his pockets either, but a quick google search entitled "bush stock holdings" reveals he own a substancial holding with major oil companies. This is proof he is benifits from oil profits, this point cannot be argued, but, is his integrity to the American people he serves stronger then the primal need for monetary gain? That is the real question.

The Bush family has long been in the oil and related energy fields business.So it is not even a matter of debate. It is a fact.

I am not sure if the linked article would serve as the kind of proof you are looking for in regards the families profitable realationship with the oil industry. There is quite a bit of information out there on the subject for those who are interested.

I would be imparting my conservative/libertarian/isolationist views into this current debate, but the upcoming fishing season as dulled my appetite for political banter.

I will be checking in from time to time on these political threads for the Spence V. Skip feuds.

I think you two should fish together.

I wouldn't characterize it as a "feud" really...perhaps more like the teacher lecturing his absent minded student.
