Trouble at the Pump for Bush?:

Most journalists promote the delusion that the truth is "all sides of the story". Thomas Jefferson was wiser than that. "A Democracy cannot be both ignorant and free". We have become obsessed with this so called balance to present the view from the so called right as well as the view from the so called left, and to keep the truth out of the equation. There is no left, no right and no middle when it comes to the simple truth. If you can't figure it out for yourself, why don't you link to websites that promote the truth, instead of pretending to be fair and instaead of quoting journalists from the so called left as well as journalists from the so called right, whenever it is convenient -for the sake of boosting your own prejudices, while the truth is butchered in the crossfire. Unlike most paranoid and obsessive, left wing/right wing duels, the websites of nsnews promote the truths that reasonable people, like former prosecutors John Kerry advance while they struggle to create a society that is not driven by ignorance. Prosecutors like Tom Sneddon, do the exact opposite and imperil the security of all by squandering scarce, law enforcement resources that we cannot afford to waste. It is clearly a huge challenge to uncover the truth in an environment where we are encouraged to be ignorant for political reasons, and it is time to act like law and order is as important as we say it is: http://www.geocities.com/botenth/dunlap.htm |

Bush is an incompetent POTUS who mismanages about everything he tries. He's done nothing of consequence to promote energy conservation, probably because that would interfere with the profits of his buddies in the petrol business. Now say something good about Kerry. Bush's pooched policies in Iraq are a direct cause of what is happening at the gas pump because of the political fall-out in the Middle East. I haven't looked yet, but I'm sure I can find a chart that shows what has happened to gasoline prices during the Bush mis-administration. Now say something good about Kerry. Thie country cannot afford any more of George W. Bush. On election day, hopefully, American voters will turn him out of office, perhaps by numbers large enough that preclude another FIX by his rabid supporters. Now say something good about Kerry. I'm almost feeling that there is a possibility the Senate might change hands, too. Maybe. The polls are showing the voters want real change, and an upheaval in Congress is a good place to start. Now say something good about Kerry. It's too bad the House isn't more closely matched. If it were, there would be real hearings taking place now. Your are too funny. Now say something good about Kerry. Your are sounding more and more like a whinny little kid each day. Something good about Kerry? Sure. John Kerry is a bright, articulate guy, a thinker, a fellow who takes advantage of his liberal arts education and on major issues, ponders alternatives, sees a number of sides, and tries to fomulate solutions that take into account the fact that some challenges cannot be solved with simple-minded sound-bites or putting on a jump suit and pretending you're a soldier. Did the military turn you down or did you wash out of boot camp? In other words, he is somewhat of an intellectual, a man who is capable of thinking and does so. Anyone can be an intellectual, leaders are harder to find. Just the opposite of the incompetent ass now in the White House, the mismanager of about everything he touches. Oh, and he's from Massachusetts and can spell it. I doubt Bush can spell Connecticut without a crib sheet. What does being from Massachusetts have to do with anything? |

Until then tap ANWR and the coast of California and the Gulf of Mexico! LOL, the old market economy. Personally, I don't think it's up to the task. Market economy's are the only ones that have produced wealth and impoved the standard of living for all. If central control of all facets of an economy worked to produce wealth and raise the standard of living for all then why did communism fail? Communism couldn't compete toe to toe with a market economy. "It has often been said that, if the human species fails to make a go of it here on Earth, some other species will take over the running. In the sense of developing high intelligence this is not correct. We have, or soon will have, exhausted the necessary physical prerequisites so far as this planet is concerned. With coal gone, oil gone, high-grade metallic ores gone, no species however competent can make the long climb from primitive conditions to high-level technology. This is a one-shot affair. If we fail, this planetary system fails so far as intelligence is concerned. The same will be true of other planetary systems. On each of them there will be one chance, and one chance only. (Hoyle, 1964)" You are not familiar with the cycle of life. Everyone and everything dies, even the planets and the stars. |

There's no doubt John Kerry is bright and articulate and has used those virtues to position himself for his life goal of being president. I have a fundamental problem with that. I can respect those that have filled their bucket with some life experience and then become motivated to make a difference. Kerry has been running for president since his high school days and I can't believe the motivation is anything other than personal. I don't have a problem with Kerry's lifelong political ambitions. Some of our best politicians have had that kind of drive. One of my favorite Republicans, Bob Dole, went into politics almost immediately after the the big war, and remained there until the end of his elected political career. \\\ Over the years I've watched him talk the talk but not walk the walk. He programmed himself 40 years ago in the style of his idol, JFK, but he is no JFK. No, he isn't. No one had the style of JFK. Billy Bob Clinton had JFK's ability to fabricate events, see Ted too, and had a taste for ladies that were not his wife. |

... BTW, it'll be interesting to see comparisons of the price of gasoline at the pump during the three years of the Bush mis-administration. Hey dummy, did it ever dawn on you that it is a matter of supply and demand? Do you realize the enormous chunk of the supply that China is now taking? But of course you will take the mindless approach of blaming Bush. You really are an idiot. Actually, members of his own party are unimpressed with his handling of the situation, especially with regard to the national oil reserves. Hint: The Saturday morning news shows for kids really don't offer enough depth of information to enable you to jump into this conversation. |

... Take the blinders off and read something other than the front page of the Wash. Post and you will see that there is a two week backlog of ships waiting in Austrailia to load coal bound for China. Economic expansion can't occur without lots of energy and China is expanding at a massive rate and we are competing with them for limited oil shipments. Uh-huh...and the Bush Administration program for dealing with that consists of... Whoops. There is no program. Yeah there is. It's called "Aw hell....who needs Alaska?" |
