It really is sad you are allowed to vote...

That's it in a nutshell.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

You stupid fuck.  When its big deficit spending under bush, the dems did it, but if it is big deficit spending under obama, it's his fucking fault?  You crazy mutherfuckers  really are a piece of work.  You have watched fox for so long, you really have no idea what reality is.  Fox said obama added more debt than the last 26 presidents; a total lie, but they fart and your mouth moves.  Bush's 2009 budget?  $1Trillion.  Obamas 2010 budget? $1.1Trillion.  Show me the expansion of the debt with Obama beyond the .1T.  He inherited bush's AND the republican's fucking spending spree and that's his fault, too?  It really is sad you are allowed to vote (wishfully thinking your aren't).

"Exxon Mobil reported a first-quarter profit Thursday of $10.7 billion, a 69 percent jump from the year before as higher crude oil prices, fatter U.S. oil refining and marketing margins, and a revival in global demand for petrochemicals boosted earnings.

Royal Dutch Shell also reported higher profits. Excluding one-time items and inventory gains, Shell earned $6.3 billion, up 30 percent from the first quarter of 2010 . . ."

Now oil has dropped on the word of been laidin's death.  So, gas won't come down as it is tied to supply and demand, not oil prices as when it when it went up ;>)  Fucking hoaxes by big oil, all around.

   Several years ago when the oil companies put automatic, lighted price signs and some stations have a direct hookup to the main office for price change.  I told my wife hang on, price changes every day, every hour.

  Other thing, why have that stupid 9/10 cents on the price of gas.  Get rid of it.  Instead of  $4.109/10 make it $4.11.

  One thing the public doesn't understand the oil companies make around 12 percent on each gallon.  $2 gas they make 24 cents.  $4 gas they 48 cents on a gallon of gas.  Double the money on gas, for doing nothing.  Not one thing extra in their operations of selling gas.  Go figure who the :turk: are.  The American people and we are giving them tax money to screw us.

Then we have the state of Indiana making 6% on each gallon of gas.  That is 12 cents on $2 gas and 24 cents on a gallon of gas at $4.  We need a little revolt against the percent gougers.   :mad: :rant:  Getting rich off of inflation. :finger2: :azz: How can they lose?

I guess none of you bought gasoline today have you? I saw reg unleaded selling for $4.26/gal in Delaware and Madison counties last night and this afternoon as well; putting it just .03 under diesel. . . And the price of oil per barrel dropped?

Yeah, the oil companies are riding us hard and putting us away wet. And now they're treating diesel and gasoline equally!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  With the big reduction in military flights.  An F-18 uses 1580 gallons an hour, that's without using afterburners.  They have figured that the fly over of the Super Bowl cost the taxpayers $450,000.  The reason that diesel has dropped is there is an extra supply of fuel oil.  :yes:

  If you filled up your F-18 at your filling station.  It would cost you $6,778.20 an hour to fly your F-18.  Happy flying.  :biggrin:

  The reason the price hasn't went down is the super rich is playing in the oil commodity market.   :yes:  The money they make on that oil only cost them 15% in taxes.  So go figure.   :wink: :smile:

Big oil (like big pharma, big financials (aka insurance)) all own the majority of politicians and they won't ever have to pay their fair share into this society; a fixed game.  But they all have great advertising.  Just watch how they all talk so much about how they are helping the world.  Hell, BP is even claiming the gulf is back to normal and better than ever.  Fuck!

  Tell me Dan, what do you make of this.  The other night there was an independent oil expert on TV.  He said there was an oil glut here in the USA, China and Europe.  The oceans are filled with super tankers filled to the brim with oil.

  My question to you why is gas over $4 a gallon.  I was taught the was a thing called supply and demand.  The more commodity the lower the price.  Go figure.  Hummmmmmmmm?

The market is being manipulated just like it was during the Bush administration but for a different reason.  What's so hard to understand about that Troll?

  But Mrs. ME, the cause is deregulation.  The same deregulations that the Republicans put in.  Which caused the fall of Enron, Tyco, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the housing fiasco, the bank fraud and the stock market thefts.  When you  deregulate the Republicans thieves come out of the woodwork and they will steal anything that is not regulated or locked up. :sneaky:  sneaky bastards. :yes: :razz:  You just not get it and won't see it.  No matter now we try we can't get through that Titanium skull. :dead:

  There you go again, as Reagan would say.  It seems that Old George W. gave a blank check at the end of his term to the banks.  You know the ones that are to big to fail.  :biggrin: what has ran up to a Trillion dollars.  How about that? Sugary Lump.
