That never happened,other than in your mind.

Go and dig up some rare, isolated incidents where gas spiked, in very local areas, but by in large, gas prices under Bush, nation wide, never came near 5$ a gallon.

We had $5 a gallon gas here in Austin for a while after Katrina, as did many other places. I've not seen $4 gas in the last few years, though.

Sure would be nice to have some domestic oil drilled , say like in Alaska, right now. Or how about a nice pipeline from Canada ?

Naw.. .no need for any of that stuff, huh?

I may be an anomaly to you, Niki, and your extreme, far Left wing commie/ hippie lovin' gang, but the fact of the matter is, more folks see the world my way than not, on a great many things.

Why WOULD you need any of that stuff now? Demand is at lows not seen in more than 15 years, supply is high, and oil and gas are our number one export product already. How does a pipeline from Canada to Texas lower our gas prices if the oil and gas are sold to overseas customers?

...childeren eat garbage, gas is over $4 a gallion, unemployment is really over 9% not the 8% Barry that his whores in the MSM is telling us, and the Hollywood left pays $35.800 per plate for a photo op with their God Barry.

The "shovel ready" jobs are really what the the MSM has been getting, shoveling all that bullshit for the Demorats.

The logic in your statement is curious. It would appear that, since you admitted a mistake has been made, the point cannot STILL stand. You appear to miss the inherent contradiction.

Hi Six,
Do you think that you'd, at some point, want your stripper girlfriend/wife to consider other career options? Or would you be cool with her continuing to do that, since it brings in heavy amounts of cash. I ask because my cousin's girlfriend has recently taken up stripping and he seems to be okay with that, she wasn't doing it when they met. We're all waiting for the other shoe to drop and for him to get tired of her doing it and either move on or suggest that she try something else. We think the reason he doesn't mind is because it means he doesn't have to work because she brings home lots of money every Sat. night.

I just speak the truth man. I wish I could say I was on your "side", but I'm not.

I'm sure though, like anyone who posts in this thread that I'm at least 70% in agreement with what you believe.

Obama was a social experiment, and although I admit he has been interesting, he has failed miserably and no theoretical words in the papers are going to say otherwise when so many hard working people are still out of jobs 4 years later can't find meaningful employment because some asian is still doing their "College-Educated-with-160k-of-tuition-plus-interest-job" is being done by somebody across the globe who is happy to make 3k a month and pay $150 USD a month for mortgage and 25 USD cents a pack for cigarettes.

Meanwhile, I have a cousin who owes 70k in college tuition who has to try to pay that off (and interest), as she works folding shirts at Old Navy. An Indian or a Chinese professional can't physically fold clothes 10 miles from me. But a desperate college graduate in the US who is smart and owes 100k sure can.

Am I just crazy, or is it just me seeing this?????

It's not just you, Six, but the problem isn't "college education". The problem is that while there is PLENTY of "work to do"... fixing roads, building houses, teaching children, healing the sick... there aren't enough JOBS. And the reason for that is because the JOBS are controlled by the so-called "job creators" (excuse me... I have to go rinse my mouth) whose ACTUAL purpose is to GET RID of jobs. Especially ones that pay halfway decently.

I don't agree with absolutely everything you said, but certainly at least 75% of it, which is absolutely right on. Yet ANOTHER conservative (or "conservative-leaning" if you will) who can talk sensibly. That's two this morning...how wonderful!

I won't comment further, got a demonstration to go to shortly, but I wanted to express my appreciation for stating the issue so well AND for staying on topic and resisting the urge to feed the troll. Many thanx.

Hey Nikki,

I'm glad you don't agree with everything I said. But the fact that you agree strongly with at least 75% of it proves the point I was trying to make. Thanks for taking the time to point that out.

I'm hoping that we all can wake up soon and realize this point and start being so undivided as a country. Dissent, disagreement and debate is definitely healthy for each of us, but only to a certain degree. I'm tired of living in a once great country that is now so excessively divided by the media that we may as well just toss our gloves in the ring and begin Civil War II.

The right screams that we need more domestic oil production to bring down the price of gas. Under President Obama domestic oil production see its highest levels since 2003, but somehow the President is still to blame of higher oil prices.

You would think that people on the right would understand supply and demand. If the increase in demand outpaces increases in supply you will see an increase in price.

So if we as a country and a world start using less gas the price will come down. So that means if you want lower gas and oil prices you need more alternative energy sources unless you just plan on using less energy overall.
