4. This is the type of thing that will finally piss off the fundie bush** |
|
supporting crowd. When they can't afford to fill up the tank. Not dying American soldiers, not dying innocent Iraqis. Nope. When they can't get in their precious cars and drive all they want. When the price of gas puts a big crimp in the pocket book.
That's when they'll start squealing like the greedy little piggies they are.
I sure wish I had a copy of the White Album.

5. The preponderance of SUVs hasn't abated yet though |

at least at a cursory glance. Any numbers on SUV sales, or vacations, this summer?

9. It IS putting a crimp in the pocket book of many |
|
Americans but they have been so beaten down they don't get mad. Again if gas prices were this high under Clinton, there would be some ticked off people.

8. When their cable or satellite goes out |
|
then they will become outraged.
Also, if gas prices were this high under CLINTON, there would be outrage because Rush Limpballs and his ilk would be pounding on it day after day after day after day.
I think Air America should do a spot on EVERY show, EVERY day,about how high gas prices are with two oil men as pres/vp. They should have a link to the website that lists the place for cheap gas in your hometown. Pound on this. That will cause outrage.
What I also don't understand is why are people still buying gas guzzling SUVs and other such vehicles?
Buy SCOOTERS!!! 60 mpg!!! I filled mine this morning for 1.84
