Who does the the Gas problem Help/Hurt
We are now about a week into this Gas Crisis. AS of right now who is it helping or hurting Kerry or Bush. Whats your thoughts.

The GOP spinters already pulled their "Kerry for .50 gas riase commercial"

Kerry has only responded on D-bunker, that i know of.( http://blog.johnkerry.com/dbunker/ )


John Kerry's D-Bunker:

BUSH FICTION: Bush Ad: Kerry “supported a 50-cent-a-gallon gas tax.”

FACT: John Kerry has never sponsored or voted for a 50 cent gas tax increase.

Sen. Charles Robb introduced legislation in 1993 that phased in a 50-cent increase. John Kerry did not vote for or co-sponsor this bill. (S. 1068, Introduced 5/28/93) It’s George Bush who has broken his promise to lead the way to a sustainable energy policy. His refusal to stand up to his big oil contributors has contributed to the highest gas prices in history – an effective $245 tax increase on American families and commuters.

4. See "Cui Bono", "Who Benefits"
"Something to Hide
Much has transpired since September 11, 2001.
? We have learned that numerous heads of state and foreign intelligence agencies tried to warn us before 9-11 (2);
? We have watched many deeply disturbing unanswered questions of 9-11 emerge through global Internet media (3);
? We have worked with the 9-11 time-line (4) and realized that the official explanation of events is conspiracy theory, not conforming to documented fact;
? We have watched the US government suppress facts and restrict of the 9-11 Commission's access to information (5);
? We have watched the 9-11 Commission fail to answer the unanswered questions and concede to official suppression of information (5);
? We have watched the leaders of the national security infrastructure richly rewarded for their failure to protect America on 9-11 (6);
? We have noted the material ommissions of the corporate media (7);
Something does not add up. Someone has something to hide.
"Cui Bono?"
"Cui Bono?" is Latin for "who benefits?"
Is there a connection between the rich flow of profit and market manipulations flowing from 9-11 and the stonewalling by the Administration and the agency members of the National Security Council?
Time has passed since September 11, 2001. As new budgets are approved, financial statements published, laws passed, taxes cut and stocks go up, it is easier to identify who benefited politically and financially from 9-11.
As we map out the financial "real deal" on 9-11, we realize there are three categories of people benefiting. "

9. I'm pissed that Kerry is not responding to all these negative ads
There's so much ammo our side could be using against *, and the GOP is simply shifting the blame.

They are experts at it.

10. The handling of "gas prices" politically makes me angry.
Why will no one admit that we'd better just get used to it?
