Bachmann: Such A Fibber

We had $2/gallon gasoline just a year or so ago. Why do you not think we could return to that?

Oil/Gas Prices Falling: Blame Bachmann?

Rod Kaufman said:
So now who's fault is it for faliing oil prices and falling gasoline prices?

Rod, you and the rest of us here seem to have completely different concepts about what's good and what's bad. When the price of gasoline, or anything else I buy for that matter, goes down, I don't blame anybody. If anyone has anything to do with falling gas prices I would like to give them credit, not blame. Now if Obama has anything to do with the recent dip in gas prices (which has been predicted for quite some time BTW) I'd be glad to give him credit but he has nothing to do with it. In fact his domestic economy policy is detrimental to our energy industries, from coal to nuclear. Everyone else is doing what they can to fight back. North Dakota for example, is sitting on one of the worlds largest oil deposits, and the state is doing everything it can to promote the industry, rather than stiffle it with ludicrous regs. As a result, ND has lots of jobs opening up in the oil industry and has one of the strongest economies and lowest unemployment rates in the nation.

More GOP Hypocrisy: Raise Your Taxes

Posted By david elosser

From the article:
Republicans cite key differences between the two "temporary" taxes, starting with the fact that the Bush measure had a 10-year life from the start. To stimulate job growth, these lawmakers say, it's better to reduce income tax rates for people and for companies than to extend the [one year] payroll tax break....(I'll agree with that.)...."We don't need short-term gestures. We need long-term fundamental changes in our tax structure and our regulatory structure that people who create jobs can rely on," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., when asked about the payroll tax matter. (I'll certainly agree with that.) And your favorite League Of Unintelligent Gentlemen, the CBO said: ...payroll tax reductions give the economy a short-term boost. But it says the benefit is bigger if employers get the tax break instead of, or along with, workers. Looking at the other side of the coin, no real hypocrisy here, in my view.

5.8 centered SE of Charlottesville, VA. It was a good one. Lasted for a while.

Obama just did a news conference, the earthquake was caused by the Bush Fault.

"Pass this Bill!"

One MINOR detail...

There's NO BILL to pass..

What a maroon!

Believe it or not, the MSM has actually noticed this one little factoid. And from this opinion piece in the LA-Kaufman Times, maybe, just maybe, they are starting to get it: "Most Americans are not politically obedient machine Chicagoans. Like a linebacker reading the quarterback's eyes, they've already figured out this South Sider's game."
