ORIGINAL: Owner59 Where have you been Merc? Your guy,Bush,the guy you voted for twice has grown the federal government bureaucracy by leaps and bounds. Are you projecting your energy on the wrong party?Clinton/Gore`s rate of grow went down while they made government more efficient. Your guy,Bush,has done the exact opposite.And for 6 long years,your party,the republicans,happily went along with it with zero oversight or even audits/supervision to oversee where the money went. Your guy is the fuck up.Your party, is the party of (shift)tax ,borrow and spend. You republicans have spent our money like a fleet drunken sailors.That`s a insult to sailors and drunk people and navy fleets. Your guy,McCain,has voted w/ Bush 100 % of the time,is surrounded by corporate lobbyists/lawyers/hachetmen,is in the pocket of corporate America and has flip flopped on everything that once differentiated him from the republican party. And all you come up with is some tired out,boiler-plate ,now irrelivent GOP statement about "government bureaucracy ". Owner, Other than the reference to voting for President Bush twice you are wrong on all counts. No party affiliation, less likely to vote for Senator McCain than I am for Senator Obama (Whose politics and positions I wouldn't support for dogcatcher.) However, I think Senator Obama's commitment and pledge to raise taxes and create new government bureaucracy should be repeated and highlighted daily. Any incentive for industry or personal production will be eliminated. If people are struggling now, how you think they will benefit from a regime of man promising more being taken from their income is beyond me, if they have a job at all. Corporations can't be taxed, when its attempted they cut employees and/or raise prices to generate the same bottom line as projected prior to the tax. People can't do that, they are subject to those job cuts and corporate exodus to countries who have already experienced the failure of socialist policies and now welcome capitalist investment. But as is common to your side of the issues, you've created a irrelevant tangent. My vote against the alternative candidate presented for the last two Presidential elections has no bearing on the post to DK. Digressing from the topic at hand may work for the masses, but the topic here is a pragmatic position of gas prices on June 2009. Similar to our wager on the outcome to November; I won't feel good about the outcome, only satisfied to have projected the result accurately. Care to be included? $3.00/gallon by June 2009 for a 1/2 ounce of gold? Admittedly that's as much a sucker bet as DK's $1000. Oil at $3.00/gallon would put gold at less than $500/ounce. Important enough to cover specifically...quote:

The war is funded directly due to Senator Obama supporting its funding and inuring its continuation until June 2009 (another reason why its silly to consider $3.00/gallon possible). Senator McCain cowardly did not vote. But all those anti-Iraq war assuming the good Senator from Illinois will end it quick should remember his vote and all the votes, his and 74 more that said yes to more funds for the war in Iraq. The votes were there, 75 of them - above the threshold for veto. No funding - no war; yet the party or peace and appeasement voted in accordance to their master's, the PACs and industries profiting from the war. Feel free to spin it as you like - YOUR party, the Democrats, majority in both houses made sure the war would continue - status quo. While they were at, using your words, "corporate lobbyists/lawyers/hachetmen", profited, and another year's worth of soldier death and injury was budgeted. My party? The kind I have is that which I'm having at my place on the 28th of this month. I would never submit to wearing the blinders you obviously do and have to rationalize such positions of absurdity.
