OK Gregg I should have left liberal element out--I apologize--but it makes me want to pull my hair out when people can't grasp the simplest concept and make their agenda's fit the crime.

Matt-- lets put this in a diff light.
Suppose the people you by your fish products from- tripled their price from 2001. How could you stay in business and make profit if you did not triple your price to consumer?--and since they tripled it from 2001 would you think their reason was because of Iraq war--why not Afgan war--why not global warming?

Now if you can tie in either wars as primary reason for increase in price of oil over supply/demand then I will listen but you will have to explain to me why oil production has increased since start of war to convince me--and here are world wide production tables--- from 2001 to present

I can't see where this admin or any admin has much control on price of oil--I will say this admin contributed to record profits via tax breaks along with record gas/oil consumption--and if the oil companies use just half of what they promise they'll use of those profits for alternative power and oil exploration (instead of lining pockets of excutives) I think it will be worthwhile in long run.

Did "this administration" you are somehow so proud of also legalize crack smoking?

Because that is what you would have to be doing to think the very people "this administration" is in bed with and getting filthy rich right along side of is gonna spend one friggin cent to find a way to lower the cost of the product they are raping us with.

As much as you hope we are wrong we are sitting here a zillion times over shaking our head at you and your ilk DTB.

When the cost of EVERYTHING in the country continues to climb to unprecedented levels becasue companies simply can't afford the fuel to deliver goods anymore please, BY ALL MEANS, continue to pat GW on the back and be very proud of the disaster we are leaving the next generation because of this idiot.

No offense --and hate to use facts against opinion again---but on cost of goods climbing--look up word inflation--then you hunt up the charts this time--you'll learn more if you get involved in facts than if I keep posting them for you.

and on getting rich--have a few more projects for you to report on--

How many millions of oil company stocks did Cheney give to charity?

how many years did Kerry stiff charity for 0 dollars?

--and while your shaking your head you got any input on 9th district court of appeals latest--

A Christian organization fighting on behalf of religious and speech rights is going to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge an appellate court decision that found municipal employers could censor words such as "marriage" and "family values" because they are hate speech and could scare workers.
At the same time, those municipal officials for the city of Oakland, Calif., were allowing employees to exchange epithets such as the N-word, the appeal said.

"To allow the lower court's ruling to stand exposes every public employee to outright censorship by a municipal employer for merely mentioning words such as the 'natural family,' 'marriage,' 'and 'family values,' issues which are at the forefront of national debate," said the appeal prepared by the Pro-Family Law Center.


"In fact, the lower courts' decisions could preclude a public employee from so much as mentioning the birth of one's child or the fact that they were just married because this might theoretically offend a co-worker," said the file in the case argued at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals level by Richard D. Ackerman, of the Pro-Family Law Center, as well as Scott Lively.

Well, you caught me off guard as I was thinking we'd stay on topic, but nontheless, here goes:

I understand the concept of inflation, but what you are telling me is trucking companies and companies that truck their own goods are just gonna keep eating the increased cost of fuel? I really can't respond if you think thats the case.

Chaney gave this and Kerry stiffed so and so, hate to be difficult, but I honestly have no idea how this changes the price of gas at the pump. If you are sure it does I will have to take your word for it.

Slamming the subject about as far off topic as we could with the marriage and family values thing, well good for them. I have no problem with any group, christian or otherwise who wants to stand up and fight for things this country was founded on. It's a shame they even have to do it.

I think you have me confused as a very liberal democrat, I am not. I am a republican who voted for GW the first time and realize the error of his and my ways involving that decision. If the republicans find someone reasonable to run in 08 I will probably vote for them, unfortunatly GW has been a miserable failure.

A very good question my friend--

Have a few trucking companies insured--many have gas sur-charge when fuel go over x amount that is passed on to their clients--one hauls for Post Office and one for the Gov.

Some larger companies hedge cost of fuel with oil futures. Lots of ways to skin a cat.

--but even though the trucking companies survive the cost is inevitably passed on to consumer directly or indirectly--which would increase inflation and bolster your point of view to some extent.
