$5 gas? To some, it's not impossible (Hey Pelosi, where's the lower gas cost you promised?)

Who has the best chance to allow the free market to work and to lift the restrictions on the free market?

In my opinion the few brave Republican are our only hope but the RINOs and Rats are always standing in the way.

And the King of the RINOs will be President in seven months.

“It’s already north of $4.50/gal here in the Central Valley.”

That’s what I was going to say, where I live it is already $4.38 for regular. It’s disgusting. I don’t know how people are supposed to make it. I guess it’s a given that you don’t count as a human being if your income isn’t at least in the 6 figures. Something is really wrong. A man can’t even support his family anymore unless he is college educated or is a business owner. Somehow that doesn’t seem right. Something is wrong with this picture. Let’s face it, college educated people generally don’t do real work, so why are they so highly valued in our current society? Meanwhile, people who actually do real work can’t even make it. Something is seriously wrong.

You’re right about that but when one looks at who has more possibility to wise up it will almost always be a RINO instead of a Liberal Rat.

I hope it goes to $10 a gallon in Pelosi’s district. Then let’s hear her explain how she fulfilled her promise in 1996 to lower gas prices. The truth is until we start drilling again and build some refineries, we will all be on bicycles or mopeds. We MUST increase supply and decrease demand for lower prices. The Dems are completely against increasing supply so lower demand is their only answer. That means bicycles or mopeds. Unless we get a Republican congress with some backbone, we will never see $3 gas again, maybe not $4.

Your question to Queen Nancy is about as lame as my question to Queen Hillary!, lower priced gas, 250,000 jobs promised for upstate NY. Let’s not hold our breath. Freegards,

Perhaps, but Republicans who just nominated John McCain look foolish slamming Democrats for their refusal to E&P ANWR.

That’s why the Democrats are able to get away with their sh!t. It’s all President Bush’s fault and soon to be President McCain’s fault.

The GOP should have weeded out the RINOs a long time ago and because of the failure to do so leaves the GOP in a mess.

“Like banging your head against the wall, sooner or later you will find it feels good when you stop. It’s much like voting for Democrats. Pretty soon, even the lowest income, lowest IQ democrat will realize he is screwing himself by voting for these idiots”

I don’t think it is a given that people will blame the Democrats. There is a lot of blame going to the oil companies. True or not it doesn’t matter, because what counts is what people believe. It won’t get the Democrats out of office, I think that is wishful thinking. I wish President Bush would push the issue a little harder about drilling for more oil. I know he is facing a Democrat Congress. But still, I at least wish he would bring more attention to the issue to bring pressue on the Congress.

Both the Democrats and Republicans, for President, have nominated their most Liberal Senators.

Yes, America is on the Wrong Track.

A man can’t even support his family anymore unless he is college educated or is a business owner.

You need to include public employees in that category. Many government workers in California rake in six figures for jobs that only require a High-School education. A lot get six-figures in sick leave and vacation pay when they retire. Most have a cadillac medical insurance plan for life and beyond.

I volunteer the proposal of a national Gas-out day this next July 4th, nobody buys gas or diesel that day, everywhere! It may do nothing but it will send a message.

We’ve worked hard the last 30-40 years to increase the price of gas, it’s taken a long time to get here, but by god, we won’t do anything to make it cheaper now!

The only chance of cheaper gas is if we get it from China while they drill for it off of our coasts.

All this while Pelosi’s gang of cleptocrats nationalize the oil companies and sign us up for carbon cap and trade insanity to take over the rest of industry.

“I volunteer the proposal of a national Gas-out day this next July 4th, nobody buys gas or diesel that day, everywhere! It may do nothing but it will send a message.”

If enough people follow your suggestion, it will send the message that we can conserve our way out of the high price of gasoline and other oil products and, therefore, do not need to drill, or hold the middle east accountable for the high prices we pay.

I think I will pass on your plan.

Where can we find a forum of savvy conservatives willing to make their voices heard on a large scale?

I vaguely remember somewhere recently of some group that used to be highly organized and intelligent enough to use the rules and not abuse them, any ideas?
