		<description>dear al-obama,
i&#039;m glad to find out that you are God and can decide that all Republicans go to hell. Now that I&#039;ve found you do you have a few moments to discuss the creation of the universe with me?

		<description>T - Thanks for the discussion sparring!  I enjoy hearing different points of view, but I would ask you to verify your facts.  The collapse has enough blame to go around for both parties - Chris Cox, Barney Frank etc.  But my overall point is that we don&#039;t need anymore taxes - PERIOD.  I&#039;d be for eliminating the ones we currently also.  We could go on and on with this, but be assured I will NEVER vote DEMO and would rather vote CONSERVATIVE than republican.

		<description>Is there anyone who can honestly say they are surprised by a proposed tax increase?
Obama proposed a tax increase on those making $300k and above then lowered it to $250k.  That was lowered to $200k then $120K, $97 was the last figure before Obama repeated the $250k figure.  Now they talk about an additional fuel tax which will hurt poor and middle class Americans much more than it will hit the wealthy elite.
Plan on more tax increases where you never expected it.  Some will be used to circumvent the Constitution.  Military spending will be cut to dangerously low level which has always led to attack by some foreign power.   Taxes will continue to increase to pay for social programs and welfare.  The rich will continue to employ lawyers to avoid taxes.
Feds will continue to spend money on worthwhile projects like a Woodstock Concert Museum.  Local governments will build stadiums for entertainment while ignoring roads and schools.
I’ll sit up on the mountain monitoring the computer news and hoping you people will just leave me alone.
I’m not a prophet, I just pay attention.

		<description>T - are you speaking about the Republicans who&#039;ve run the Congress for the past 2 years and appointed the committee that&#039;s making this recommendation?  The Congress that has the lowest approval rating ever of 8%?  Those Republicans?  Just an FYI - their DEMOCRATS!!!
Show me the facts that the Bush family made &#039;BILLIONS&#039; from the recent increase cost of oil?
Either back it up or shut up!

		<description>T - I&#039;d say you are a little bitter &amp; angry.... that&#039;s not too good for your health &amp; it&#039;s very mean spirited to wish ALL Republicans to burn in Hell.  With a wish like that, I&#039;m afraid that is where you will end up.  I&#039;ll pray for you.

		<description>Oonogil - YES!!  You are absolutely correct!  But the problem is it will never happen with the LIBERAL leaders we have now and for the next 2 years.  Nazi Pelosi, Harry &#039;The Body&#039; Reed, and that idiot Barney Frank will tax and spend this country into depression.

		<description>T - Well it looks like I&#039;m going to have to school you on reality.  First, stop drinking the kool-aid of Sirius LEFT and Keith OwhatafoolIam!! The Bush family STARTED Zapata yes - back in the 1950&#039;s, but don&#039;t &#039;OWN&#039; it.  No individual can &#039;OWN&#039; a publicly traded company - AND Zapata has NOTHING to do with oil - didn&#039;t you read and understand my last post!?
As for Bush releasing the offshore oil ban.  First, he didn&#039;t and thanks to Nazi Pelosi and your Demy&#039;s the TARP bailout moved the ban out to 100 miles - 88 miles into international waters.
Secondly, if Bush wanted to make &#039;Billions&#039; from high oil prices why would he make a statement releasing the ban and have the prices drop?
Thirdly, the gas tax increase recommendation is being offered by a committe appointed by - are you sitting down - the LIBERAL controlled Congress!  And I&#039;m the one being fooled by Bush and the Republicans?  Dude, clean your monitor - I think you have kool-aid stains on your screen!
Take your head out of the sand (and wherever else it might be) and understand that this gas tax will hurt EVERYONE!  Even the liberal, Bush-hating sheep like you!
