Oil Co's:
They already had record 1st qtr profits, figure another 50cents for every fn gallon sold should secure record profits at the 1/2 way point.

Sure it will. But the GOP candidate will take great pains to point out that BP and Exxon/Mobil were also heavy contributors to the DNC, which is the way Washington works.

And as long as we re-elect incumbents at a rate of 90% or better, it'll never change. No politician is ever going to bite the hand that feeds his re-election war chest. House members never stop campaigning, having to face the voters every 2 years.
