GALLUP NEWS SERVICE
PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup panel survey finds the public bracing for continued rising gas prices this summer. A majority of poll respondents expect gas prices to reach the $4.00 per gallon level in their local area this summer, though only a small minority expects it to reach the $5.00 mark. Roughly two in three Americans say they have already been affected financially in some meaningful way by the high gas prices. The public most often mentions oil company greed as the reason for the high gas prices, though it also mentions other more practical reasons such as problems with refineries. |

They'll mention whatever the talking heads tell them to mention as reasons. Remember "increased demand in China"? That's the reason I heard for the latest run-up. Same thing last year. But, when the price dropped last year, nobody said "decreased demand in China". I don't listen any more. The only info I'd believe would come from Rex Tillerson, who was being waterboarded in return for real details about the pricing scheme. All other explanations thus far are an insult to our intelligence. |

Used car dealers don't make any money unless they attract customers either. Lawyers are the primary contributors to Democrats. You're not much of a dancer. No, I demonstrated that you have contempt for success and supplication for the John Edwardses of the world. You demonstrated that once again, you've danced around someone's question because to answer it honestly, you'd step in quicksand. Your question was an AVOIDANCE NON-ANSWER TO TO QUESTIONS I POSED. No it was not. The point was that every business creates its image, or as Harry pointed out, earns it, for better or worse. The 3 in the list are perfect examples. Wal Mart's got a miserable reputation with as many people as those who love the place. Used car dealers are seen as snakes, much the same as lawyers. You are fully aware of all this. The major oil companies are no different. They offer us bull**** explanations for the price swings. If you kids gave you similar answers, there would be consequences, assuming you were a competent parent. Horse pucky. Wal Mart has been a target of the liberals, like Harry and the major media, because it won't unionize. I don't give a damn about their union situation. I'm talking about the customer experience, and the fact they they lie about their prices, and that "made in America" charade. In my experience, they lie about prices less than Safeway, and I've no idea what the 'made in America' charade is about. I think you've concocted both. You think I've concocted both because you don't read or get out much. Much, if not most, of Wal Mart's stuff comes from China. Harry, the other liberals, including yourself, seem to be in the forefront of finding anything to help point fingers at Wal Mart. My opinions are based 100% on my own experience with the store. I don't join clubs. Harry has his own reasons. It's all liberal smoke because they won't unionize. Nope. Don't give a damn about their labor practices. |

Now, I gotta issue a horse pucky alert! Check out some of these non-union issues: http://walmar****ch.com/issues/ Trust me, in the 22 states with right-to-work laws, walmart sucks just as bad as they do elsewhere. Oh my gosh! A purely non biased organization whose sole function is to keep an eye on Wal Mart? Wow, I wonder who funds it. The exact same information has also been in the newspaper your wife reads, and then places under your easy chair to catch the mess. |

Your refusal to take any conversation seriously is insulting, and therefore, a personal attack on anyone else in a discussion. |

You people are pointing your fingers at the wrong culprit. Wal-Mart is popular and successful because they carry what people want at prices that people want to pay. So, who's at fault?

Now, I wonder what he did... "Andrew Grossman, former executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is the executive director at walmar****ch.com, and says his personal motivation for being such is to, “change the way large businesses interact with people.” Grossman says he hopes the website will be, “a resource base anyone can use,” and will provide people will tools to help be more effective in changing the business ethics of corporations such as Wal-Mart" You've picked a winner, Gene. |

Poor simple-minded Herring. I suppose his is an example of what happens to a low-level brain after a career in the military. Harrie, you're such a neat guy. Thanks for your contribution.
