Gasoline is selling for three times what it was when Bush presumed

Gasoline is going down, does he get credit for that too?

Gummer apparently hasn't bought any gasoline in the past week or so.
Bush didn't know about the predictions of $4/gal gasoline when asked
about them. Mc Cain says that the economy is strong even when banks
are collapsing and the stock market is in free fall.


It is too bad that, even though McCain invented Blackberries, he is
not using one. If McCain was using a Blackberry, he would have a
great way to track all his houses, as well as stay informed about gas
prices, economy etc.




McCain/Palin = Trojan Moose



I was really almost getting to like the republican ticket until I did a
little research on the relaxation of the banking laws. Aparently the
law was ammended in 1999 by an attachment to the budget bill. The
attachment was created by Phil Graham. Now you all know who Phil Graham
is, a lobyist for the banking industry and until a few weeks ago the
adviser for John McCain. Phil is also the guy that they wrote about in
this site.

You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession," he said,
noting that growth has held up at about 1 percent despite all the
publicity over losing jobs to India, China, illegal immigration, housing
and credit problems and record oil prices. "We may have a recession; we
haven't had one yet."


"We have sort of become a nation of whiners," he said. "You just hear
this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness,
America in decline" despite a major export boom that is the primary
reason that growth continues in the economy, he said.


McCain is still hanging on to Phil and guess who McCain will put on his
cabinet if he is elected. McCain supported the deregulation of the
banking industry that brought these banking failures. All I can say is
if you got money in wall street it ain't your money any more.
