    How many times are you going to say the same thing? Jesus Lord Almighty. We get it. You think Nancy Pelosi and some other people on the left are big fat hypocrites. Understood.

    the liberals and media would be headlining this 3 times a day if there were a republican president.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    The top headline on MSNBC this morning questioned whether increasing gas prices would cost Obama re-election.

    Duh.

    The more interesting question is why U.S. gas prices are increasing when consumption is declining and we are now actually a net exporter of refined petroleum products. It doesn't add up. Now, it could be that other nations have dramatically increased demand to offset our decline, but that's hard for me to believe given that we are far and away the largest consumer of gasoline, the European economy is shrinking, the Japanese economy is shrinking and China, while growing, the rate of growth has declined recently.

    And wouldn't pointing out the high gas prices under Obama be a GREAT talking point?

    Really? There's a headline in the politics section (which you must have read) about the GOP trying to hit Obama for increasing gas prices and a headline in the business section about the "record surge in gas prices." You're NOTHING looks a LOT different than MINE.
