The graph shows the highest prices in fuel during republican presidencies.

No that is not the only reason gas costs more.

But it defiantly is one of the factors.


You can tell that is the truth.
But you choose to try and spin and twist words.

Why ?
Do you want to be a slave ?
I don't get it ?

You can't seriously claim that the rise in gas price is the direct result of a republican president. No other factors influence the price of a barrel of oil?
Do you believe his claim of gas jumping that quickly (97 cents) during one week? Maybe during Katrina but not at that time. I think he is seeing the reality of gas going up after having woken up from a drunken and/or drug binge.

Depends. If it were Obama, he'd give the man a pass. If it were Bush or any Republican candidate, it is one step behind treason.

Took a couple hours to die that way I read. Used to send postcards around with pics of the festivities with captions like "Had us a barbeque last night."

Show me one thing the screamer pastor has done that's 1/100th as perniciously racist as that and I'll change my tune.


cmac--here's where I got your insinuation from. Cheers

No, racism is a bad thing, of course, but it's not treason.

But, if you want to talk treason, I refer you to William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Quentin Young, and some of Obomma's other associates. Some of these people actually declared war on the United States, and I don't remember them ever signing a peace treaty. Obomma seems to surround himself with members of the Hate America First crowd. Obomma himself gives off very bad hate America vibes, as does his wife. Hard to believe that such a person could be considered for the presidency. Just goes to show you that the marxist crazies really do have the jackass by the nutz.........

No worse than any other form of prejudice, IMO. I don't care if it is positive or negative discrimination or for what reason. Discrimination is discrimination whether it is for or against fat people, slim people, busty girls, well hung men, etc, etc.

Like I said, to some people, if it were a Republican doing it, it would be. Democrats will get a pass.

CMAC seems to be part of that crowd so it is unlikely that he will say a word against Obama.

I dunno bout that, but this link is to a graph from DOE showing retail gas prices in 2001.




http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/feature_articles/2001/falling_mogas/falling_mogas.html

His graph comes from here. Note it is in current dollars. Misleading, imo
