Gas Blamers

20 September 2008 in Bush, Democrats, Independent, Pelosi, Republicans | 1 comment

I saw this the other day (on ebaum’s world) and just had to comment:

Bumper Sticker

And when democrat Nancy Pelosi took office on a pledge to lower gas prices in 2006, prices were at $2.29 p/gal.

So lets look at this…
From 2000 to 2006 thats $1.46 to just $2.29, which equates to $0.83 p/gal increase over 6 years.

After Pelosi took office in 2006 on the pledge to lower gas prices its now 2008 and prices have spiked to an average of $4.11 p/gal. Thats almost a $2 p/gal increase in 18 months! 

I’m sorry, I’ll take the $0.83 p/gal increase over 6 years any day to the 2 dollars in 18 months.

STOP THE UNMERITED BLAME!

It’s not right to just blame Republicans, it’s not right to just blame the Democrats. If we don’t want higher energy prices, then we need an energy plan that puts responsibility for energy into our hands.

Unmerited Blame

20 September 2008 in Barack Obama, Bush, Democrats, Election, Independent, McCain, Nonspecific, Politics, Republicans | No comments

I don’t understand why the Democrats are constantly blaming Bush for the mortgage crisis which is now affecting wall street. The problem with blaming Bush is he doesn’t control investors.

I HATE it when people blame Bush for problems he has no control over. What do you expect… him to think and control the investors like puppets? If he is thinking and controlling investors, how is it a free society then? And if you want him to control the investors, would that be American? He has no control over peoples greed on wall street… so why do the Democrats keep blaming him? I don’t know! I hate the blame game.

Here is a fantastic NPR story about the situation: audio clip from morning addition 19 September 2008.

From the feature, there are clearly other companies and investors that should be held responsible.

There are several things that I don’t agree with Bush about, but I don’t go around blaming him for things that are out of his control. I find this election season really annoying because the Democrats are blaming Bush for every known problem in the world and trying to relate it to John McCain. I believe there are some issues it’s fair to point the finger… but for the most part, alot of the finger pointing is unmerited. Sure, John McCain is not the saviour, but Obama Mania Barack is no where a lesser of the evil either.

I guess this is why I am neither Democrat or Republican, both parties worry more about blaming, finger pointing, gaining control and taking away liberty. My political views are summed up by the badge on the left.

The latest addition to my equipment collection to provide me relief and escape from all the annoying election coverage which is hiding the interesting stories. (story 1, story 2)

This beauty is capable of 33, 45 and 78 rpm speeds. The 78 speed is the main reason I bought this unit so I can finally start listening to the 78’s I’ve acquired.

Personal Responsibility, we need more of it!

24 August 2008 in Barack Obama, Democrats, Election, Independent, McCain, Politics, Republicans, Ron Paul, leader | 3 comments

This country does not need an Obama-mania to change. This country does not need a decorated war veteran for change to happen. This country doesn’t even need an isolationist in power. This country needs to go back to it’s roots.

This country needs it’s citizen’s to stand up take some personal responsibility! We often worry to much about creating laws and passing restrictions rather than taking responsibility for our actions. It’s as if we’d rather point the finger and blame adamant objects before taking some responsibility.

You want the right to own a gun? Then take responsibility for it! Limiting guns and creating laws against them will not fix gun crimes. Stop trying to blame guns for the crimes… blame the criminals.

You want an educational system that works? Take action rather than blame.

You want the right to eat and chose your own health care? Then take responsibility for your health and start working out. Here is a great article that was in last week’s paper. Perhaps when manufacturing and labor jobs start etching their way back into our society, we will be come more fit as a nation.

This country was started because of people taking responsibility, I’d sure hate for that responsibility to go away.

Check out the article: It’s not the food, it’s the exercise (or lack thereof)

“The dietary difference between generations isn’t significant enough to explain the difference in weight. However, the change in activity is.”

On oil and oil politics…

12 June 2008 in Bush, Democrats, Independent, John Stewart, Oil, Pelosi, Politics, Republicans | No comments

Preface: (Look out for Shell’s new name at the end.)

–So first let’s invite John Stewart to talk about gas prices
–Then we’ll visit Nancy Pelosi’s congressional campaign promise about gas
–Then John Stewart will be back to talk about Bush some more
–Finally, we’ll look at the oil situation in a positive light

 
John Stewart, you have the stage:

Let’s go back a little bit…

I thought we elected the democrats into congress so they could lower gas prices…?
(The video is 17min, but the first min says it all – unless you want to see what other failed promises took place.) 

 

Motivation? Agenda? Great commentary and interesting points…
 

 

This is why I am an Independent, because most in Washington are just liars with personal agendas.

 

Atleast when oil trades higher it does help Americans.
