Chafee Votes to Keep Gas Prices High

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

Inhofe is GREAT!!! I thought I made that clear in my post!? Please re-read I said 'perceived' meaning Chafee must not take Inhofe very seriously.
Most of my family is in Oklahoma and I do a lot of business in Oklahoma.

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

I don't appreciate being called nuts and crazy just because I have a different opinion than you.

McCain has stabbed Bush in the back and been a thorn in his side since day one of the first four years.

The RNC should send Chafee a dear John letter and force him to leave the party by making his political life a living hell.

[Ole Okie]

Sorry for writing like a soured Okie.

Inhofe is kind of a Gary Cooper type. He's a "Yup" and "Nope" fellow, and a lot of people really misread him.

I apologize.

[Theodore R.]

RI is NOT the most Democrat state in the union: there is much competition for that dubious honor.

[Theodore R.]

I would suspect that the "blueblood" Chafee looks down his noses at a lot of his colleagues.

[Glenn]

Democrats are only mad because the "high" gas prices (still low today when adjusted for inflation than in the late 1970's) are market driven.

Prices are based on speculative commodity bets. Demand is not up 50% over supply in the last 12 months.

Toe the party line rhetoric all you like, it doesn't change the facts.

[Theodore R.]

If I am not mistaken, Senator Inhofe is an IA native but has long been associated with Tulsa.

Its not a matter of opinion. You can say that you don't like McCain, or that you think he's a bad Senator, or whatever. What you cannot say, is that he has been on the opposite side of every issue, because it simply isn't true.

If my opinion is that Hillary Clinton backs Bush 90% of the time, my opinion is just wrong. It doesn't hold up to the facts. Its the same thing with saying McCain has been on the opposite side on every major issue.

The only way you could credibly claim that, is if you want to redefine what the major issues are, which, essentially, you are going to have to say the WOT, Iraq, CAFTA etc aren't major issues, which, again, doesn't hold up to any reasonable standard.

"Why did he just get a million bucks fron the pubs?"

Because the National Republican Senatorial Committee never met a RINO they didn't like. I already e-mailed the NRSC that I would not send them another dime if they continue their disgraceful practices, and sent the money I would have sent to it to Stephen Laffey instead.

Uh....speculative commodity bets are still the market! Nice try.
