Today was a milestone in my life. Today, gas prices hit four dollars a gallon. I had hoped that this day was not coming in the near future. In fact, it shouldn’t have.
If gas prices kept even with inflation, we should see a four percent growth in prices from year to year. Instead, we have seen 36% increases in single years.
What makes this so infuriating is that it was preventable. Most of us are on a shoestring budget after the latest round of energy price increases. The sad part is that idiots like John McCain and Barack Obama still don’t get it. They are pushing for more legislation that breaks the backs of normal Americans. I guess that’s easy to do when the feds give senators a blank check for their gas expenditures.
For my house, gas prices have been cutting into our savings in a major way. Its getting to the point where we are seriously having to cut back on driving.
It should have been different. We are sitting on more energy than most countries can imagine. Yet we do nothing. Nancy Pelosi is playing the fiddle while our economy tanks. Are there any good politicians out there?
This is no longer a political issue. It is a moral issue. I don’t say this lightly, but forget about your stupid tree hugger legislation. Tree hugging is not something we can afford right now. People are losing their lives, their liberty, and their ability to pursue happiness.
Our congress has failed us. It is time to elect new ones. Lets begin to ask for their resignations! Many republicans and democrats alike should be fired for their gross negligence. If they were running a business, they would be thrown in jail for their misuse of funds. Perhaps we should give congress a taste of their own medicine. They hold “trials” on the house floor, maybe we should put them on trial as well.
New York Democrat Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned today after being cited in an investigation into a prostitution ring.
Before being elected to the governorship, Spitzer held the position of Attorney General of New York. It was in this position that he was characterized by two traits.
First of all, Spitzer was seen as a shoot from the hip, take on everbody, attorney. He sued anybody and everybody including H&R Block, almost every life insurance company, drug companies, and many more.
Secondly, he was a power hungry man that abused his political office for his own gain. He was constantly involved in scandals like trooper-gate. He was known to threaten individuals who were against him politically. At one point, he actually threatened to use his Attorney General’s office to “hurt” Fox News reporter Sean Hannity for embarrassing him on the air.
To Governor Spitzer, I say we are glad you are gone. It’s just too bad that things had to get so corrupt before you finally left office.
Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama startled many supporters this Sunday when he took stances on key issues during a campaign speech .
Barack Obama said that he supports “same sex unions” but believes that they should be equal to a normal marriage. He further went on to say that he strongly supports abortion.
Obama believes that this makes him no less of a Christian. He went on to say that the parts dealing with homosexuality being a sin were “minor” parts.
Obviously, Mr. Obama understands little about the definition of the word “Christian.”
Christian
A follower of Jesus Christ.
He must have missed that “follower” word. Last time I checked, following does not mean facing the other direction. Nor does it mean using someone to gain favor with an audience and then rejecting all that they stand for.
In 2006, the Minnesota Democrats ran on fiscal responsibility, and even rejected the idea of raising taxes.
It’s funny how people change when they actually get to office. We now have almost every democrat, and some foolish Republicans, clamoring for more taxes. If there ever were a case that shows that “power corrupts” we have found it in Minnesota’s 2008 House of Representatives.
So called “good boys” like Joe Atkins (Democrat - Inver Grove Heights/South St. Paul) have gone on a spending spree like nothing ever seen in Minnesota. Then, they complain to the tax payers that money is running short.
The Minnesota House Republicans have been standing in the way of a flood of new taxes, and now barely have enough votes to sustain a veto by governor Pawlenty.
It should have never been this way, liars like Rod Hamilton(Republican - Cottonwood and Jackson Counties), stood on the Republican platform, telling his constituents that he would uphold the ideas that they wrote into their party platform. Instead, he has become a sellout for special interests.
To see all members of the Minnesota House of Representatives who voted for the largest tax increase in Minnesota History, see Bill Jungbauer’s post on the tax increase.
As you all know, the New York Times recently ran a major “hit piece” on John McCain. Thanks to editor Bill Keller’s lack of citations, willing omissions of facts disproving their story, and a refusal to interview the accused, the Times has lost credibility with both liberals and conservatives.
It turns out that the Executive Director of the New York Times, Bill Keller, has a few skeletons in his own closet he might not want out in his own newspaper…
Liberals like Bill Keller always have a double standard.
People expect liberals to act foolish and screw up their lives, they don’t expect that of conservatives.
Liberals are also never expected to cite their sources. In fact, if the moveon.org types are proven wrong, it only shows that the “conspiracy” runs deeper than they had previously thought.
The New York Times uses these very principles to perform their Character Assassination hit jobs. They know that the libs will not question their sources (or lack thereof) and they will only hold the microscope on the conservative (and not on the hypocrite writing the story).
You can give a super delegate a dollar, but can you make him vote? Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have spent over $890,000 on “campaign contributions” to Super Delegate voters. Obama alone has spent over $694,000 on bribing super delegates.
In an odd sort of way, the party of “change” seems to be supporting the status quo. Not only that, they seem to be giving a new definition to “money controlling politics.”
I guess if you are a smooth talker (or are married to one), you can get anything past the American people.
