    Default Dems on Gas Prices

    From the "things that make you go hmmm" file.....

    I seem to remember that last year the democrats were making a big stink of rising gas prices and blamed it on the republicans - now that they're in power, the gas prices are higher (on average) than they were this time last year and not a SINGLE Democrat who was campaigning using Gas Price talking points has presented a SINGLE solution on how to lower them.

    The Dims would love to increase the gas tax even more all in the name of 'sacrifice' for the envornment. Thats what their big plan is - bring the economy to a screeching halt in order to save a few pounds of waste.

    It takes time to reverse the Republican policy blunders that created the problem. --There. See how easy it is to make pointless, partisan jabs?

    Ooh, what's my move here? Is it that Clinton's fault for 9/11 actually lies on the Republicans for taking his attention away from national security matters with the fruitless impeachment proceedings? Or do I ignore the jab about Clinton and bring up the "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the US" memo? Hmm. Tough call.

    I seem to remember the Bush supporters telling us that Bush and the GOPers could not be blamed for the high gas prices.

    Now that the Democrats control Congress, things are different, I guess. We still can't blame Bush but we sure as hell can blame the Democrats in a way we weren't supposed to blame the GOPers. Go figure.

    What does that memo have to do with anything? You LOVE half-truths, man...geesh.


    Do the higher-than-ever Gas prices put to rest the lies we went to war 'For Oil'?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    How about removing the taxes that comprise most of the cost of a gallon of gas?

    Demos repealing a tax? Nah.....wishful thinking.

    Yeah, but he attacked us during the heckuva-job years so...hmm. I'm still a little perplexed about which argument I'm going to go with here.

    no way, it plays right into it. We didn't go to war for oil for the people. We went to war for oil for the corporations. The people are at the bottom of the totem pole. The corporations and top execs are reaping the benefits of this war, not the people, so it's no surprise that the people are getting screwed at the pump.
