Does that mean no more Republicans and Democrats?
Let me think about this for a bit.

Sorry Cuddles...


I like ANYONE who has a defiant attitude with regard to the neocons. I will be supporting Citgo as much as possible.

Those kinds of people invest globally. The U.S. is just a place on the map to them. And if you don't know that then you are not well informed on the issue.

Status: offline 		Here's the deal:

Ya'll agreed to the deal.  It required that ya'll agree to voting, then accepting the final result.

Bush was the result.  (I know...it sucks...really, I do).

Bush is a putz...I don't think anyone disagrees with that...and if they do, I'd have some serious suspicions about them.

Citgo is a supplier.  They'll supply someone else on a wholesale level.

And then we'll buy from them (and the new supplier will make $1.08 per gallon, instead of $1.17 per gallon...all the while "full employment" in Brazil is achieved at $0.63 per gallon, i.e., we're supporting both historical growth in these countries, but unmeasurable graft) and it begins again.

I do think (as uneventful of an attempt as it may be) it's essential that we "embargo" Citgo.

I also think it's time we make some overwhelmingly significant changes. 

Very few of them have to do with Citgo.

Ya know, Chaingang...usually I disagree with (everything) you have to say, but I have to tell you...you should care (even as I vascillate to some degree on my own opinion on the subject).  Regardless of where you may be in the economic spectrum...your lot is in fact being changed.

I would encourage you to be more informed, as well as more well rounded.  I would never suggest who to vote for, or to lean towards.

I have my own opinions, and they should never be yours.  (Something tells me my fear in that arena is unfounded).

Remember...it's always better to be one of those "Oil rich motherfuckers"...than not.

(Just a thought).
