OCTOBER
30, 2005 --
Suddenly,
on word that the oil companies raked in billions and billions
of dollars over the summer, Republicans in have started to
speak out, and the media has taken notice.
LPR would note that it first mentioned rising oil prices 18 months ago when
oil was approaching $40 a barrel.

And with the
LPR attempts this year to call attention to the rising prices,
not a
Republican voice was heard, and one media outlet trumpeted a poll saying that
motorists would accept prices up to $3 a gallon.
A comment by Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist sounded to LPR like a variation
of the warning in Federalist 57 about those seeking the "ambitious sacrifice
of the many to the aggrandizement of the few."
