Bush Defends OPEC Against US, Part2Posted By Tom Rodstrom |
Bad idea. Faced with court action, OPEC countries might pull their money out of the US giving the economy yet another hit.Rod Kaufman said:
Last week, Bush defended Saudi Arabia over American interests and this week he's back at it again! The House of Representatives passed a bill with bipartisan support that gives America the authority to go after OPEC for price-fixing via anti-trust legislation but Bush won't stand for it and he will, in effect, veto it! I say let America have its day in court and let the court decide!

Why is it?Posted By Tom Rodstrom |
One of the worst considers this forum entertainment. At one time he said "It really makes my day when I get their goat." *Floyd Blue said:
Why is it that this forum is so heated all the time. It seems to me that most are here to just stir up an argument and then push it as far as the moderator will allow. Makes for very poor reading really. :S

All of the inflation you are discussing is related to the price of oil. As a result of these increases, I will bet that your family is thinking more about your driving habits and about spending money on items that your family believes are essentials, but that environmentalists know you do not need anyway. Just think about how much pollution you are not putting in the air and the landfills. It will make you feel so much better. :S Since you and your family are typical Americans who will never make the choices environmentalists believe you should, the high oil prices are making them for you. You and your family should be very proud that you are doing your part for the environment. We should never complain about high energy costs since they were requested and predicted by environmentalists who know better how to spend YOUR hard earned cash than you do. If you want something to complain about, Bush and Republicans are always fair game.

Re: Latest assessment from IraqPosted By Tom Rodstrom |
Do you mean this political appointee who's last job was domestic spying? The one who works for a guy who believes the Constitution is just a piece of paper? The officer who believes the military should spy on American citizens without ever getting a court order?Jim Babcock said:
So are you calling this General a liar?

Obama's statement about 57 states?Posted By Tom Rodstrom |
It's real clear that he meant to say 47 states with 1 to go excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Unlike Bush, I'm confident that Obama knows how many states there are.Darian Rachal said:
I'm sure most of you have seen the video where Obama is talking about having been in all 57 states. Anybody have any idea why he used that number? He said it in such a manner that it seemed deliberate.
Was this a coded message that those "in the know", such as Farrakhan's followers would understand. I seem to recall Farrakhan being fascinated with numbers, on some occasions.
I know it's an odd thing, but a friend mentioned it, and it made me wonder just a bit. :S
