I sometimes think that is their purpose in regulating the industry to death. Hamstring corporations so severely that the government has reason to just take over.

Are you kidding? Senator Inhofe would be one of those having to leave. No, thanks.

[singfreedom]

He’s up for reelection this year and the DNC Has targeted him for defeat. I hope he doesn’t fall prey to “McCain apathy/antipathy” as other conservatives have this year.

The movie was a harbinger of things to come and I found it very disturbing when I got to see it.

I am going to get flamed for this but I don't give a &%_+ . So much of America already look like the cast of characters in the movie, between the hair, piercings, and tattoos. We are already 1/2 way their....

Will they let you speak to anyone, or is it constituents only? My Senators are Inhofe and Coburn, so I would be just “preaching to the choir” if I called them! I want to speak to Pelosi, Feinstein, Dingy Harry, and yes, McCain-—you know, the Washington dregs!

I don't know the answer to your question but it can't hurt to try. It won't cost you any money. If not, you can always send them an email.

"The gas lines that were by far the worst were those of the OPEC embargo after the October ‘73 war. We should have nuked the OPEC countries off the map, sent in the troops and oil patch workers, planted the flag, and told the rest of the world to go intercourse itself. Of course, we could still do that.."

Maybe not nuked them (don't want to radiate the oil fields)but sent in enough troops to secure the oil fields and let them go back into their 7th Century desert life. Otherwise, this works fine for me.

” “But it’s for the good of our children’s future”

That’s what we’re going to hear in response to any complaints about the negative effects of the so called global warming solutions. I brought a lot of cons to the attention of some envirowhackos on another forum and they just gave me the above.

These people, if they aren’t among the groups who see the global warming scare as a way to gain political power, are total fanatics. They don’t care how these “solutions” negatively affects us. To them, the ends don’t just justify the means, the ends are all that matter.”

I am the child of a WW War Vet. So I know what was done for the children....

It certainly wasn’t to make our country what it is today.

More of us need to stand up and shout down this “ for the children” crap.....

Take notice that todays “ child generation” is about as spoiled as you can get, and they are worried about the “ children”

Cut me a break.....

The Democratic Party wants to turn the United States into Western Europe.

We’re going to get a bunch of excuses and the finger is going to be pointed at different people.

Remember the Cold War? While the Soviets were still powerful, the RATs kept saying they would win and we should just throw in the towel. After it ended, the RATs turned around and said there never was a Cold War and blamed the Republicans for exagerating the threat.

These retards will never admit to any wrong doing.

I’ll set this election out.

Please don’t set it out. Make a statement, write in a conservative like Duncan Hunter (if they will let us). If they won’t, vote for the Constitution Party candidate.

"They insulate themselves from the rest of the country and expect us to keep voting their sorry a$$es back in every time."

And we do what they expect and THAT is what has to change -- immediately IMHO. That should not be allowed to keep their jobs. Revolt at the polls first. If that doesn't get the results we need, further revolt plans are necessary.

Whats’ gas cost in his country?

[pepsionice]

I sit here in Europe and pay basically $9 a gallon for gas currently. The vast majority of that is tax. The price of gas in general...has gone up a $1 in the past six months. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be paying $12 a gallon within two years. What you learn along the way with this mess...is that you simply quit driving. I’m putting half the mileage on the car that I would normally have done ten years ago. I go nowhere unless its important. I make one massive shopping trip per week. The kid is 17 and rides a bus...no car. You start changing alot of habits...and I’m pretty sure this summer...you will start to notice how folks don’t visit the relatives as much or drive to a ballgame that much.

I can remember folks in my hometown leaving early in the day and driving to Atlanta to see a Braves game that afternoon. At $4 a gallon...the odds are against anyone doing that today....driving 250 miles to see a game and paying almost $80 just for fuel...not even counting the ridiculous cost of entry tickets and food at the stadium. I can also remember guys jumping in their car and driving 300 miles on a Friday to see a girlfriend one state over for the weekend...and I seriously doubt if many guys do that today.

Face it...at $5 a gallon...you are going to make a significant change in our life. You have no choice.

Good grief, you certainly are already feeling the pain. I can't imagine. This whole article has me considering alternatives.

Unfortunately, the US does not have the extensive public transportation system that alot of Europe has.

Hang in there, hope you have a good pair of walking shoes.
