wrote: Hmmmm....if you're paying .50/gallon or more Federal gas tax, you must be special. The latest figures I can find have the fed gas tax at .184/gallon. What did I miss, Dave? When did Al Gore increase the Fed gas tax by fifty cents a gallon? You're right, I'm wrong. Gore's vote raised it another 4.3 cents in 1993. |

I seldom listen to Limbaugh, never to Hannity and Colms, don't know even if Coulter has a radio/tv show, and O'Reilly is on during prime time, so I don't watch him, not that it's any of your business, putz. |

![]() "Dave LaCourse" wrote in message Kerry had no new ideas. Period. He said he would remain in Iraq and Afghanistan. The only difference is that we would now have more taxes. It would be worse today if Kerry was in office. Unless you are amazingly psychic, there is no way on Earth that you could possibly know you last statement is factual. The economy is going along great with no unemployment, low interest rates, and low inflation. The market is doing well. No one has invaded us since 9/11. No unemployment, at all? The market is doing well for those with lots of money, but not for a majority of the working stiffs. There's not been a major hurricane to hit the U.S. since Rita, but that doesn't mean there won't be another one in the future. Eight and one half years separated the first and second WWTC attacks. We are only into the 5th year after the last. Give'em time Dave, the ports are wide open! I don't know about you, but I am far better off today than I was eight years ago, and much safer too. You may be better-off finacially, but you aren't any safer, unless you know something that the rest of the world doesn't know about international terrorism. Gas prices are high, but they are high worldwide. They have always been high in many other parts of the world, but low in the U.S. What's that tell us? Get the Dems to allow drilling off of California and Alaska and the price of gas would go down. Take away the last fed gas tax ($.50/gallon) voted in by Al Gore when the Senate was dead-locked at 50/50, and your gas would be alot cheaper. Exactly how much did 'ol Al raise the tax--it's 18.4 cpg currently. That amount is neglegible compared to my state's tax of 26.6 cpg http://www.gaspricewatch.com/usgastaxes.asp I don't know about your math, but that would be $12 less a tank where I buy gas. You either have a 65 gal. gas tank, or your gas station is rippin' you off big time. I pay $1.84 per fill-up for my 10 gal. tank. Ya think those folks at WM you are so concerned about could find something to do with that $12? Yeah, but fuzzy math gets'wm every time. If the Dems win in 08, and I hope they do, you will see the tax cuts cancelled and new taxes across the board. Inflation will go up (and that is the worse tax for someone on a fixed income - read poor folks) and the economy will crumble. But fear not. You'll blame that on Bush. Well the Dems ain't been in office for the past 6 years and you're still blamin' them? If you continue to run bozos like Kerry and Gore, you will *never* win the WH. And if by chance they *do* win, God help us. Don't ask him for help, he ain't done anything decent in over 2000 years! Op Dave |

The US is too large a country to expect conservation to work to any degree. That's the craziest thing you've said today. Conservation would help enormously in the US precisely BECAUSE we are such large consumers and we're wasteful. You conservatives who hate the idea of conservation crack me up. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Well just where did you hear the fictitious meme about Gore's fifty-cent gas tax? The same place you heard the lies about Cleland's and Kerry's war records? Regardless of whomever you're getting these factoids from, I recommend that you check them out before you expose your ass in public. It will save you embarrassment. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

You can't *possibly* hate *anyone* that much, can you? Hummmmmmmmm. Ill have to think about that, Lets see, would I hate him enough to even make up stories about him faking medals for the wounds if he had had his legs blown off from falling on a grenade to protect his platoon? Hummmmmmmm? Would I hate him for letting Ben Ladin go free? Would I hate him for making my country a State sponsor of torture? Boy, Its a real quandary. Not. Dave Dave |
