How to use Gas prices against freepers.

[marano35]

I think the current gas prices are great. This is why. The same idiots that support W and the Republican shitheads that have gotten us there are the same ones who in my area drive the 8 cylinder Dodge Hemi trucks and Chevy Suburban Suv's with the W stickers. They are also the loudest complaining about gas prices. What I have been telling them is this. " Quit complaining about the gas prices. Its their oil and they should be able to sell it for what they want to sell it for, only liberal Democrat pansies would want the government to regulate private industry. They usually say something like " Well I have to get to work", to which I respond "Well thats not their problem.(the oil companies) and say If you don't like the price don't buy it, or get a second job, ...thats the problem with people they don't want to work anymore and they all want something for nothing. Then I explain to them that its all part of the Presidents plan and remind them that they voted for him. I explain to them as he said in his own words regarding he overwhelming benefit to the super rich of his tax cuts, that the people who own and are major investors and CEO's of oil companies are the same people,and that he said that the tax cuts to these people were important because they would use the money from these tax cuts to reinvest and spur the economy and that it would trickle down to us. I then explain that the more profits the oil companies make the bigger the tax cuts, the more they can reinvest and spur the economy and thus increase the speed and the amount that will trickle down to us. I explain that W. has just refined and streamlined Reaganomics and that they should just not take thier eye off the ball that we will just have to endure until it starts to trickle down. I then go one step further and tell them the best way to do their part is to buy the most fuel inefficient vehicle they can buy to help speed up the process. I explain that they should shop around for the worst interest rate as that will cause them to pay more interest to other people at the top of the chain who will in turn make much more money and in turn get much more tax breaks and will in turn reinvest and spur the economy thus creating even more trickle for us. I then finish by telling them the best way to deal with the high gas prices is to kill two birds with one stone is to buy their gas on credit thus insuring that they are giving the most money they can to the richest
Americans who will get the big tax breaks, who will reinvest and spur the economy and thus create the most trickle down to us. Its at this point, knowing that I am a liberal Democrat that they ask if I am feeling alright. I then explain that so many of them have been drinking the Kool-Aid that I thought it must be good so I gave it a try and now I am astonished at why I did not ever see what they saw all along. I THINK IT ACTUALLY FUCKS WITH THEM TO SEE THE UTTER STUPIDITY OF WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING FOR GRANTED FROM THE ASSHOLES THEY SUPPORT.

1. I was thinking about leaving notes saying I siphoned gas from their tanks

"I noticed you voted for Bush and for these high gas prices. I voted for Gore and for Kerry. Therefore, I think you'll understand why I siphoned some gas from your tank so I can put food on my family. Sincerely, A. Democrat."

Of course, I'm not saying you should actually siphon gas from their tanks.

Just maybe leave a note saying that you did.

Let 'em call the cops if they must. They'll find no evidence of wrong-doing.

4. My duaghter's story from work Wednesday:

One of her co-workers & the co-worker's husband had recently bought a big macho SUV. Cowoorker cames back from lunch Wednesday bitching about the price of gas. Daughter's friend gets listens for a minute and says "Did you vote for Bush?" Suv owner says yes she did. Daughter's friend says "Then shut the fuck up. It's your own goddamn fault and I got to pay for your stupidity. I got a reason to bitch. You don't". Suv owner just slunk away.

8. I think I may be on to something...

with this approach to thier idiocy. I had a guy tell me the other day that labor unions ruined this country, to which I said "Your fucking A right they did." I then said "they started this whole 40 hour work week shit and time and a half for overtime" I then said that its a proven fact that peoples productivity goes down after eight hours and that its crazy for companies to have to pay people more money after eight hours when they are less productive and that if it were'nt for stupid shit like that that more companies would be better off." I then said that people used to work from dawn til well after dark and that people just were'nt willing to work hard anymore and that overtime and the forty hour work week were a big part of the reason. I then went on to say that if a man worked for someone they should be able to set all the rules, that they should be able to work them as long as they needed them and pay them whatever they wanted and that every man had the ability to decide whether he wanted to work for a company and if they did not like their policies they knew where the door was. The guy then said" well I think overtime is good, I get a lot of overtime." I then told him that labor unions got that and that was part of how they had destroyed America." He did not have much to say after that, he did look like he was thinking though...of course as fucking stupid as he was it might have been just confusion.

9. I'll Cruise Through Gas Stations

while riding my bicycle and look for GOP SUV's.
When I find one I'll circle a few times
and then "mention" to the owner that
"I sure am glad I didn't vote for Bush and his Oil War".
Many say they "wish they hadn't".
Some tell me to go "F" off and I'll laugh and say
"I get 50 miles to a gallon of water", "you're the
the one getting "F'ed at $3 a gallon".
