  1. Just $2.00 a gallon last February. Wow, that made me feel better. Actually makes me more pissed off that gas prices can rise $2.00 in one year with really no reason. And of course no one doing anything except saying buy Hybrid, don't drive as much, change you driving habits. Kind of hard to do when you commute long distances.
  2. Is it true that the current stock prices for the main oil companies basically equate to oil being around $70.00 per barrel? I had also seen a graphic showing the top five ways of drilling for oil. The hardest demanded around $60.00 per barrel. Now I understand how a sniff of trouble in the world & supply and demand can raise those prices. However, can someone explain to me how and maybe why prices have gone up so much since 2001? Think about it... people including me, used to be pretty annoyed when gas was around $2.00 a gallon. Now, we're hoping that it stops at $4.00... most likely going up $5.00 per by the end of summer. Something is really wrong here and I just can't see India and China killing the market that much. Granted they play a part, but has their part really gone up that much in the past 4-5 years? Personally, and I will admit I do not know that much about this (hence questions above)... I feel as though OPEC is just completely F'ing all of us because they know that ultimately technology (hybrids, etc.) will knock the demand for oil/gas down. Might as well make some serious a cash now right?
  3. kind of response I would expect from a Hillary supporter.
  4. If you can't see the difference between Hillary and Obama something is wrong. Hell just look at her comments... she's for NAFTA, she's now against NAFTA, she voted for a bill that she hoped would lose, she agreed with the DNC rules (Florida and Michigan), she's now against them
  5. Fair enough question. I voted for him because to me, he is not the typical Hillary/McCain type of politician. And also because he is NOT Hillary. I do not believe anything that Hillary says, I do not trust Hillary on anything. She flip flops entirely way to much.
  6. And you believe Hillary is the BEST to enact the issues that are important to you? How do you get that? What has she really done to prove that?
  7. So her logic on this is like her voting logic... I'll go along with it but hope something else happens. I'll follow the DNC rules, but do and wish for something else.
  8. Where do you get this stuff? So I guess Edwards did the same thing? What about the other candidates? Only Hillary was on the ballot against party rules. There could have been a re-vote in Florida, they ran out of the time... they could not decide on who would pay for it. I know this because I designed the re-vote ballot, the firm I work with had it ready to go to print. We just needed a final approval or clearance. Obviously never came.
  9. Trying to find a silver lining. Understandable. So where are we now? Obama has won 33 states to her 17? And the nonsense about her taking the lead with the popular vote. Now are you discounting the caucus states and including Florida and Michigan? So maybe her camp is using "fuzzy math". Let's face it at best they will distribute the delegates for Florida and Michigan to both camps. In no way will they just give her huge numbers for both states. No way. She signed on to the rules when it was good for her. Now that she has pretty much lost, she wants to change them. That is the type of politics people are sick of. Hillary for the blue collar worker. HAHAHAHA worked out well in NY state huh? She will do anything and say anything to win. On a side note... your side note is ridiculous.
  10. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
  11. hold on, wait for it....... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that was a good one. Made my morning.
  12. I Love how our "friends" the saudis just basically tell us to go f ourselves. A lot of respect for our President.
  13. An estimated 75,000 for one rally? WOW, truly amazing... does anyone here know of any other candidate in history that has had such a turnout? Whether you like him or not, that is amazing. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2...he_size_of.html
  14. Just ironic that gas has gone up over what $2.00 since he has taken office. Hope it means nothing.
  15. I just don't see McCain beating either of the Dem candidates.
  16. This is true, in the past there have been instances where the candidate was chosen at that time.
  17. Edwards to endorse Obama Posted: 05:08 PM ET From CNN Political Producer Mike Roselli, CNN's Suzanne Malveaux Edwards will endorse Obama, CNN has confirmed. Edwards will endorse Obama, CNN has confirmed. (CNN) — CNN has confirmed that former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will endorse Barack Obama shortly at a Michigan campaign event. The endorsement could help Obama reach out to white, blue-collar voters — a demographic group that Obama has failed to capture, most notably in the recent Pennsylvania and West Virginia primaries. Edwards received 7 percent of the vote in Tuesday's West Virginia contest. The former North Carolina senator had campaigned on the message that he was standing up for the little guy, the people who are not traditionally given a voice in Washington, and that he would do more to fight special interests. After dropping out of the race on January 30, Edwards asked both Clinton and Obama to make poverty a central issue of the general election and a future Democratic administration, something both agreed to do. Clinton: It'd be 'terrible mistake' to pick McCain over Obama CNN) -- Hillary Clinton on Wednesday reiterated her vow to stay in the Democratic presidential race, but she said it would be a "terrible mistake" for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama. art.clinton.cnn.jpg Sen. Hillary Clinton vowed to stay in the race, saying she's "not going anywhere." "Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain," Clinton said on CNN's "The Situation Room." "I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama." Clinton was responding to a question from a CNN iReporter who asked why she thought so many of her supporters would choose McCain over Obama. Watch the question Exit polls out of West Virginia indicate that only 36 percent of Clinton's supporters would vote for Obama if he were the nominee. A bare majority of Obama's voters said they would vote for Clinton over McCain. In response to Clinton's comments, Republican National Committee Spokesman Alex Conant issued a statement: "Just as Sen. Clinton herself has questioned Obama's qualifications to be president and enact change, so do many of her supporters. The biggest mistake would be to raise taxes and prematurely withdraw from Iraq like Clinton and Obama have proposed," he said. story continues on CNN
  18. She is only staying in until she can get/find that graceful exit. With a win in WV, expected win in Kentucky but a loss in Oregon - she will then state that she has given it her all.... yada yada yada, time to unite the party and move on to the general election.
