This is what we were paying in California. Maybe you depend too much on the internet to inform you about what's going in in the real word.
By the way, you haven't answered my question about what have republicans in the last 40 or 50 years done for ordinary people. You said medicare "b". wrong. LbJ did it in '66.

Now I do believe in conspiracies. They go on all the time. I believe it possible that the oil companies would get together and drive up prices to hurt obama's re-election.

This is what I was questioning you about:

Quote:
Remember the Iraq war was going to give us cheap gas?
And your answer is "This is what we were paying in California." Does that make sense?

As for your request about Republicans helping the ordinary people:

Bush Signs Medicare Reform | Heartlander Magazine

Quote:
After months of wrangling and sometimes-bitter debate, the U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 1, the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act, on November 22 by a vote of 220-215. The Senate followed suit on November 25 with a 54-44 vote, and President George W. Bush signed the bill, projected to cost $400 billion over 10 years, into law on December 8.

At the signing ceremony, Bush said, “These reforms are the act of a vibrant and compassionate government. We show our concern for the dignity of our seniors by giving them quality health care. We show our respect for seniors by giving them more choices and more control over their decision-making. We’re putting individuals in charge of their health care decisions.

“And as we move to modernize and reform other programs of this government,” Bush pledged, “we will always trust individuals and their decisions, and put personal choice at the heart of our efforts.”
As far as conspiracies go, I hope you are right. I hope all the "evil" corporations get together and make Obama look bad so we can get his bony ass out of the White House.

Because you liked the economy tanking and all our jobs going over seas? Or was it the putting civil rights on the back burner that did it for ya?

My response about gas prices was obama made gas prices go over $4.00. It was $4 dollars under bush also. Now I was going to write in Cynthia McKinney or Hugo Chavez for prez even though he, like Obama, is not a citizen. However, I think now I'm going to vote for Obama to cancel your vote!!

Sheesh larry. What does current or past gas prices have to do with the Iraqi War? If we were after their oil, why didn't we just take it when we had the chance? You're not making sense.

Like you weren't going to vote for Obama anyway. I may look dumb, but I ain't that dumb.

Nope, once we get Obama out of there and get rid of some of the stupid regulations, those businesses will start moving their capital and manufacturing back here. They are starting to realize that Americans buy the most things and if they don't have jobs, they can't buy all those things. It's a two way street.

Yeah tell me another one, Aesop.

We are already deregulated. The most deregulation we have done in 50 years businesses left here like rats fleeing a sinking raft. They aren't coming back till other countries get on board with clean air and good working conditions. I don't care how much you deregulate, Americans will never again stand for 19th century conditions and that's what it would take to compete with some places.

Why? Do you have a vested interest in banking?
