Obama's 'Gone to Great Lengths' to Keep Gas Prices High, Ryan Says

SAN RAMON, Calif. - Paul Ryan said today the president has gone to "great lengths" to make gas more expensive in this country.

The vice presidential candidate visited Google headquarters in Montainview to hold a Google+ Hangout where he took questions from supporters at campaign offices all over the country, including a question from a senior citizen in Florida named Ruth. She asked him how he was going to "improve the situation" of sky high gas prices.

"This is not just something that squeezes family budgets, it squeezes businesses," Ryan answered. "It also gives us a bad foreign policy in that we are so dependent on other countries for our oil imports, it's the biggest part of our trade deficit and so what's frustrating about the Obama administration's policies are they've gone to great lengths to make oil and gas more expensive."

The average national gas price is $3.82 up from $3.66 just a month ago, according to statistics from the American Automobile Association.

Alinsky tells progressives to hold their opponents to their own highest standards.

I would die to preserve my children’s freedom.

What response to the obama regime is sufficiently mealymouthed and limp-wristed to be acceptable by your standards?

You “ran to mommy” and tattled?

I rest my case.

You have no guts.

Thank God you weren’t around in 1776.

We’d all be bowing to the Queen.

Tell me how it differs from someone putting Obama bumper stickers on your bike.

These 'vandalizing' things were tacked up all over 'private property' by men who understood the necessity of doing so.

OMG...how utterly disrespectful and rude of them.

You sicken me.

You equate these complaints about gasoline prices to raising an army?

Pathetic.

That is your ‘brilliant comeback’?

If somebody does that and I catch them, they get their reward, same as I would if I ‘got caught’ and I’d accept it..and then go somewhere else and put up another.

People with balls don’t quit.

Go cry to mommy some more.

Maybe I’ll get banned, if you’re lucky.

“Bumper sticker stock” is vinyl and adheres more by suction/static cling than adhesive.

I made my own for that dumbass McCain and then went out the next day and simply peeled them off.

You don’t even know what we’re talking about.

False. You brought up those trying to raise an Army to fight of King George the 3rd, not I. Trying to equate this petty vandalism to those that risked imprisonment and even death as a traitor demeans the very actions of those brave men.

Address the issue at hand.

The issue is petty vandalism and respect for other peoples property. I respect the property of others. Those placing the stickers do not.

I have paid to help sustain this web site for many years. I will not pay to promote such vandalism. I asked the owner of the web site for clarification.

Your insults are pathetic attempt to change my mind on respecting the property of others.

How very mannerly of you.

You’d have made a great Redcoat.

So get me banned.

I don’t care.

I’d rather get ZOTted for guts than stay on here simpering about “proper etiquette” in the face of impending tyranny.

You have repeatedly brought this up; I never have.

My complaint is not with you or your opinion.

My complaint is with using Free Republic to promote vandalizing private property. I have no desire or request to have any one else leave. I am trying to understand from the owner of the web site if this is acceptable practice. Once I have that answer I will decide only on my own actions forward.

‘I have paid to help sustain this web site for many years. I will not pay to promote such vandalism.I asked the owner of the web site for clarification.”

Big deal.

I’ve gotten death threats.

You didn’t see me bawling to the owner like a little girl.

So send him some *extra* cash right now.

Maybe he’ll ZOT me for you because that’s *really* what FR is all about, isn’t it?.

You have no threat from me. Not of any kind.
