Politics - 7 September 2006

In the past few weeks, gas prices have dropped in my area from about $2.89 to $2.45. That's almost a 50 cent drop in prices! There is some kind of collusion going on here. Consumers are exercising their monopsony power and driving less to drive down prices. It is predatory. I think we should investigate and prosecute those responsible. We should implement mileage controls, a minimum mileage everyone must drive every day.

It is the greed of the consumers doing this, who would rather hoard their money away than spend it on gas. Don't they know that there are families that depend on the income that their job in the oil industry provides? How will the oil rig worker's kids go to college?

This is criminal. People should be punish. We should pass a tax on savings accounts, and print more money to increase inflation to encourage spending to that the greedy don't get away with this.

LONDON (AP) - Prime Minister Tony Blair, his reputation in Britain badly damaged by his refusal to break ranks with President George W. Bush, gave in Thursday to a fierce revolt in his Labour party and reluctantly promised to quit within a year.


Blair, whose popularity began sinking when he committed Britain to the U.S.-led war in Iraq three years ago,

Attitudes in Canada tword Harper's minority government are going the same way - another US yes man may be out of a job -

Will Harper and Blair be finished as a result of following the BUSH agenda?

License is predicated on the understanding that ABC act as a trustee of the public airwaves that serve the public interest.
ABC News has not signed off on the fictional account as accurate.
None who have viewed the two part interpretation of events of 9/11 vouch for its accuracy.

Remember Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf ?
About American troops after they entered Baghdad:
"They are not in Baghdad. They are not in control of any airport. I tell you this. It is all a lie. They lie. It is a hollywood movie. You do not believe them."
If he doesn't work for moveon he might be the one feeding all the conspiracy theories.

No names please, definitions only. I would like for a thoughtful answer to define the term instead of "osama" or "sadaam" or whomever. There are criteria, right?

How could these two star-crossed lovers come together? If they happened to release a XXX video of them together (like the Hilton video), do you think liberals would run to the porn stores to watch?

Liberals are nothing more than silly sh1ts by comparing Bush to Hitler. I think this is what happens when you have young sh1ts that never have visited the Holocaust museum. Liberal sh1ts are a disgrace!
