FYI, Bruce’s blog appears to translate into $127,021.50 –but I think it’s priceless. As I do with Rumsfeld’s titan effort to reform the military…

You may be correct. On the other hand, it may be that you should have appended “ic” at the end of “titan.” As far as I can tell, those who are making out like bandits under Rummy’s tutelage are the contractors. And those who survive Rummy’s military, who go to work for the contractors, will make out like bandits, too.

You go Rummie. Keep kicking those butts for the sake of our kids’ future and the defense of American interests abroad, security at home.

Curious you should offer that. I wish I had a nickel for every time the Left and MSM has labeled Rumsfeld “in trouble” or “on his way out” or “he must resign”… by my count, I’d have more money than Bruce’s entire terrific blog is worth at present.

Thank you Don Rumsfeld for continuing to serve our country, the Nation, and the free world.

Call him (Rumsfeld) an asshole, call him arrogant, but kindly refrain from assuming that somehow, you’re in a position to evaluate his ability to lead the armed forces.

As you wish. I’ll call him the lead lemming. If you all want to follow him off the cliff, please feel free to do so. Just don’t do it on my nickel.

“Washington, DC – The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has granted the government’s motion to dismiss in Cook v. Rumsfeld, a constitutional challenge to the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban on lesbian, gay and bisexual service members. The decision, from Judge George A. O’Toole Jr., was released on April 24.”

Increase the supply. Drill offshore and in Alaska. Place the burden of producing boutique blends where it belongs, on the shoulders of the voters who demand them. Let California buy the oil from the companies and produce its own boutique blends. The price of gas in loony la-la Californistan will go through the roof, but their envirowacko blends won’t drive prices further up for the rest of the nation.

“Price gouging” is an idiot’s mantra.

So what happens to you, when they don’t come true? (i.e. GOP keeps control of at least 1 house of Congress, as most observers think likely)

Do you eat crow?

Do you re-think your philosophy that puts you so foolishly out of touch with reality?

Or do you maybe go deeper into moonbat land, alleging conspiracies or at least the “stupidity” of the American electorate? – Do you move to Canada?

Gas at $1.89/gallon costs me 9.5 cents of fuel to drive a mile.
Gas at $2.89/gallon costs me 16 cents of fuel to drive a mile.

Am I willing to either not go that mile or choose to walk that mile for 6 1/2 cents. I don’t think so.

If I drive 300 miles a week, I’ll have to give up one pizza, five packs of ciggies or two twelve packs of beer to make up for it. Poor me….

As I said, both parties are pathetic on gay rights. One more so than the other…

Love,
The slutty whore

I feel your pain there. Recently we have been having gas shortages here and also prices steeply climbing through $3, but the main reason for the sudden climb is that gasoline with an ethanol additive is replacing an existing formula that is being removed. The old gas must be drained from existing storage tanks before they are filled with the new formula.

As it always is when the moonbat Democrats want to divert attention from their plans to raise taxes on gasoline and increase the price.

But unfortunately, Erik, since you’re a leftist and Democrat, you’re not used to dealing with an intelligent audience.

If oil companies WERE price-fixing, the mere threat of an investigation would dump gas prices instantly. Indeed, they’d never come down at all, and certainly not to the levels that they fell post-Katrina and Rita.

Moreover, if matters were that simple, what would stop the oil companies from dropping prices right before the election to ensure they have a “friendly” Congress?

An intelligent person would look at this and say that the Democrats need to find a different issue. But unfortunately, raising taxes on working Americans and profitable businesses to punish them, as the Democrats want to do, is not publicly palatable. So they push these faux issues in the hope that enough of the American electorate is dumb enough to believe them.

That’s why Dems keep losing elections.

Well, the IMF did recently say the US government should add a gas tax to curb consumption. But still, that’s not going to be the issue this time around. The issue is going to be price fixing and gouging. Even Bill O’Reilly believes the oil companies are price gouging. And you see, when Americans want the Congress to go after big business, in this instance, big oil, they don’t elect Republicans to do it. So, if that’s the mood of the country, the Democrats will win.

I hate having to register, but I guess I registered for blogspot and typepad a long time ago and that covers most so I didn’t think about it.

And I really want to hear whatever it is you had to say.

And how will you feel when you find out that, when you elect Democrats, they will impose additional surcharges and taxes on gasoline so that it becomes $3.50 a gallon, as they have wanted to do for years?

Those sort of things will be coming out shortly. That’s the problem with Dems; they never realize that their socialist logic doesn’t fly with working and money-earning Americans.

I see you must be one of those people who on Election Day believes more in the exit polls results, than of the actual votes cast.

(See: Democrats’ screeching that the exit polls had Kerry winning Ohio)

I’ll take my chances with the American people on Election Day. I have great confidence they do not want Congress run by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the other members of the al Qaeda sympathizing-party of the Left.

Though NY has been turning blue for about a decade now. 9/11 prolonged Govenor Pataki’s political life, but even he couldn’t win statewide office in NY anymore. The once vaunted Republican machine on Long Island has not only broken down, it’s been completely dismantled. Where as the GOP once held all but 1 of the 15 state legislature seats on Long Island, they today hold just one and even that seat they may lose this year. So, New York has been turning solidly blue for over a decade, but this election cycle may complete the transformation.

Which is good because if Elliot Spitzer can get a favorable majority in the state legislature, he can legalize gay marriage and I can move back to New York.

What’s keeping people down on the economy has nothing to do with the media. It does however have to do with the fact that for the past month, every freakin’ time I drive by the gas station, the price is anywhere from 2 to 5 cents HIGHER than it was the day before, to the point now that it is 3 dollars for a damn gallon of gas!

They used to say cottom was king. Today, oil is king. And if gas prices are over $3 a gallon on election day in most parts of the country, the GOP can forget about winning.

IT WILL BE A BLOODBATH.

Also, Fox brings up the main issue:

By three-to-one the public says the recent news reports they have been hearing have been more bad news stories (54 percent) than good news on the economy (17 percent).

In short, what’s keeping the economy down is the media’s reporting on it — a media that’s already shown they will fake, forge, and lie about anything as long as it smears the Bush administration.
