    I meant to add:

    “Exxon Mobil, BP, Shell and Total will apreciate it too. It’s all the same to them.”

    These oil companies are proving to be the principal beneficiaries of the so-called war on terorism. More like a state-sponsored war on consumers for the ultra-rich. And the beauty part–guess what the beauty part is?–their kids don’t serve in the military…just ask Paris Hilton and her crowd.

    What I like best about this blog is the almost unanamous opinion that money grows on trees and there really is such a thing as a Free Lunch and that THEY are out to get us! WE are THEY and WE will pay for it.

    There is a free lunch when you control the most powerful (for now) government on earth. Free breaklast and dinner too! Wake up and smell the crude oil, man! It stinks to high heaven!

    You really need to get your news from more sources than the left-wing nut cases.
    George Soros would be proud of you.

    So, if someone has a Bible, reads it, loves the Lord, goes to church, that makes him/her a right winger that’s ruining the country and empowering Exxon? Is that the thrust of your pitiful connect the dots post?

    Didn’t get the memo? Behind on your TPS forms again? Tsk, tsk.

    Your Fox News-like attempt to polarize the debate (along the lines of the false choices offered over the years by Rove–with us or agin’ us; cut and run or hard on) is an old and discredited tactic. World opinion changed vs. the US years ago and now it is changing in the US. This is hardly news to non-right-wingers. The days of this simple-minded “paint the other side as extremists” approach are over.

    Aint that what I’m doing here? Nah, I’m in the middle. You’ve just lost sight of where that is because you have gone too far to the right with the Cheney, Rove, Fox crowd.

    Anyway, our boys for the oil companies’ record profits! Gung ho!

    Let’s bring all these debates back to the killing reality for our families and neighbors in Iraq. Let’s remember that right wing extremism got us into there and we have to respond to right wing extremism in the correct way. Disempower it as soon as constitutionally possible!

    In spite of all the distractions, including $4.50 oil: “It’s the war, stupid!”

    LOL!!! I you accuse ME of drinking the kool aid??

    BTW, with the Donks in the majority now for how long? I lost count after Nancy Pelosi’s “first 100 days” of change where not one single major Democrat sponsored piece of legislation was enacted. Where are the impeachment charges against Bush? you would think with all the “OVERWHELMING evidence” of his criminal conduct he’d have been long gone by now. And why are we still in Iraq? Weren’t the donks swept into power because they were going to get us out of Iraq quickly?

    Amazing how Bush is supposed to be a stupid, inarticulate, alcoholic cocaine addict and yet he has managed to win the Presidency twice over the best the left had to offer and even with the Donks in control of both sides of the aisle they can’t seem to figure out how to defeat him. What does that say about the left?

    Isn’t it interesting that the Bush blamers answer to their manufactured “oil crisis” is to punish the producers of the product? No other viable idea exists for them. Right wingers are just waiting to hear YOUR solution because until now your solution is “NO” to the solutions of the right. C’mon. Give it a shot and stop being so negative.

    This is an insurance forum not a political one. Take your politics to where they belong.
