Just in case anyone out there still isn't convinced the Bush administration has no love for the country's poor:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The Bush administration is opposing U.S. Senate Republicans who want oil companies to divert some profits to low-income households for winter heat.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has called for oil and gas companies to devote a portion of their nearly $100 billion profits in the latest quarter to families who could see a 50-percent hike in heating bills this winter.

But Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said there was no way the administration would back the proposal, The Washington Times reported Thursday.

While Americans paid record prices for gas last quarter, the oil companies made record profits. Bush has no problem with that.

This winter, heating prices will increase by 50% for most of the country's poorest families. Bush has no problem with that.

Make no mistake. Bush takes from the poor and gives to the rich. It's so painfully obvious at this point.

Good for the country? You decide

C'mon now, if a few non-voting serfs freeze to death in the interest of pursuing the pure, market-driven economy... isn't that a relatively small sacrifice for the rest of us to make?

Its the usual story - put party first. Doing what's legal (and what's moral), comes further down the list.

You're talking about democrats obviously.

Ah, the musings of VJ's greatest BushBot.

While I am a registered Democrat, I always try to consider both candidates before choosing, although I do usually vote Democratic since Democrats usually share my values. But not this time. The Republicans and especially this President's administration have screwed things up worse than I ever could have imagined. This fall I'm voting Democrat down the line, even if I'm voting for a shrill bleeding heart tree hugging "Taxocrat".

Republicans had their chance. Let the other guys be in charge, it can't be worse.

I'm not so sure. Even if things aren't 'worse', maintaining a status quo still isn't great. I just hope when the time comes, someone other than Hillary ends up on the ticket. I don't see much of an ideological difference between her and GWB.

The system is screwed, its just a shame that frontline politics has the ear of and is largely dominated by corporate special interests. As long as that is the case, things aren't likely to change a great deal - no matter who's running the show.
