    ;et's not pretend what's going on isn't.

    The price of gas in 2000, was 1.50. Now it's 5.00.

    The gop has had full control. for them to blame the dem's for this, knwoing the bottle neck is the refineries, is not even funny anymore. This is the kind of stuff that gets me angry.

    Like the gop saying anyone who is not for the war is a "phoney soldier". This kind of blame game and attacking, when they are the one's responsible should be criminal. Criminals always have an excuse and someone to blame. The differance is, the cop is not buying it, if the evidence is there.

    Either the gop member are stupid morons beyond the pale and don't know anything. Or they are complicent fascists. Which is it. Criminals or morons? Either way they are about to be rendered irrelevant for 30 years.
