2. Don't worry, it will all be back to normal following November 7th
Gas prices will rise back to the $3.00 level and higher and we will not have to hear about plots to blow up air planes.

8. No question. Big oil is hoping for their boys to keep power
And it seems only DU puts that message out there. Anyone hear something like this from the corporate controlled media?

4. Those and the fact that I have nine messages on my call wave from
political campaigns begging for my vote. And that's just the ones that came in while I was on the computer. There are twenty-five more on my caller ID.

And the real kicker is that most of those calls came from Randall Terry. That man is ticking a lot of folks off with his incessant phone calls. The man is an idiot... I sure hope the vast majority of voters agree.

They will reduce the war mongering talk until AFTER the election to drop them even further?


It's the LAST 2 years that people REALLY need to worry about??????????????????

7. What about Iraq?
It is the one thorn in the flesh Bush cannot control before an election.

9. hedging on the "slogan"?
in 2004 the repubs told us we were safer with bush - after all we hadn't had a "terrattack" since september 11, 2001 (just alot of terra-lerts)

Just a couple of short weeks ago - we had the big booga-booga and now bringing a bottle of water onto a plane is verboten... but we're safer...right? meanwhile - all the hullabalooie didn't give bush or the republicans much of a bounce.

ummm...maybe not - bush is hedging on the "we're safer" jargon... we're safer, but ummmm...errrrr.... NOT that safe...."

repubs are scrambling, bumbling and running every which-way to put distance between them and bush. Two years ago, they couldn't get enough photo-ops of themselves walking/sitting/talking with bush. Today - I'd bet you will be hard pressed to find a photo of one of them with bush on their website - let alone in a tv commercial.

bush knows his rubberstampers are in trouble, rove knows it, cheney knows it, and the rubberstampers know it.

so today we are safer...but not that safe... it's coming, kiddies, alerts aren't enough... we're going to need a bigger reminder on just how "unsafe" we really are, and why the only the repubs can make us safe...

10. But of course...
People will stop gripping about the price of gas just in time to have a good healthy dose of fear shoved down their throats.

I'm waiting for november 8th when the price of gas goes back up.
