“This Exxon result is the norm not the exception and until the American people wake up and start voting for politicians who will protect their interests instead of the interests of Corporate America”
Would be nice to have one who meets that criteria and has a snowballs chance in hell of winning to actualy vote for wouldn’t it? Of course then that person would have to be able to actually accomplish something once elected.
Dick – I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but libs such as yourself are hopeless. Exxon made ten cents on the dollar in 2007. I would venture to guess their profit margin in 2008 will be in the same neighborhood. This should not be considered excessive by any stretch of the imagination. The true windfall profit (defined as unexpected profit arising from causes not controlled by the recipient) is confiscated by the government in the form of a tax on gasoline sales on top of the corporate income tax confiscated from oil companies.
I have a suggestion for you, Dick. Stop whining about Bush and just vote for a fellow lib so we can all pay higher taxes, watch the government ruin our health care, reduce our military to patsy-like status, watch illegals pour across our border while footing the bill for them and further expand failed social programs. You can then look proudly upon and get a good laugh out of the shared misery we will all have to experience.
I’m sure you will have a counter to this post. Keep in mind, though, that I can easily script the old and tired lib response to matters such as these, so you don’t really have to bother. Maybe your time would be better spent picketing a gas station, building a windmill or paying homage to your Al Gore shrine.
I will not argue that Bush put together a good energy policy. No one has over the past 30 years. I want to know what your solutions are. What do you have to offer that will help out the lower income people that cannot afford to buy a Prius or a Smart Car? Maybe raising the gas tax will help them to realize that they should not be using gasoline. They should be putting solar panels on their roofs and installing windmills in their backyards… now that will help them get to work.
I can’t wait until the Dicks of the world drive dirty rotten “big business” into the ground. Then they’ll whine about lost jobs and CEOs’ golden parachutes. Drill offshore? NO! Drill in ANWR? NO! Build more refineries? NO! Peddle a bicycle for 30 minutes to toast a single slice of bread a la Ed Begley Jr.? Sounds like a great use for Nancy Pelosi’s time, doesn’t it? Just give us one idea that you would approve of, Dick–just one.

So you dont think that was part of the problem? What about destroying Iraqs infrastructure and ability to pump oil? Did that help?

Another non-answer. This time you managed to not answer a question by asking three questions in response.
You just can’t bring yourself to answer the question can you? :-D
It is really a simple question, Dick.

Whoa, that was pretty original! I just heard Sean HanniCoulBaugh say the same thing!

Ease up Larry, that really hurt. Why don’t you chime in with your brilliant solutions. Oh, I know what the answer is… it’s time for change…
I got your change right here, baby! A quarter, a dime, a nickel and three pennies. There’s your change!!
there, there, Waiting. I’m actually a McCain supporter. I’m no fan of Obama at all. Shocking, ain’t it???
