I don’t know about that. If the price of gasoline goes down it will just encourage people to use more of it than they already do. That will put upward pressure on prices.

And consumer prices will lower in response to reduced energy costs, increasing net spending power. Pretty much nullifies the effect of consumers using “more” of it.

Nor I

Dems: JFK, Jimmah Cartah & Bubba came out of no where and won, while Teddy (hic), Biden, Gore, Jesse, Moseley Braun, Kookcinich et al try and try again to no avail. Bubba was lucky to win re-election due to Perot and a liberal Dole.

GOP: Nixon, Reagan & McVain lost but came back to win the next season’s primaries – remains to be seen if McVain wins in Nov. Ford and Papa Bush could have won a 2nd term, but for demoralizing the base.

Based on that, I look forward to both dems going down in defeat this year so we can relegate them to the ashheap of history posthaste. I’d just dread the next marxist to come along. But there’s always hope that after two tries, the nutroots will give up and quit in disgust, move aboard even. And that the adults will take back control of the donkey.

Now if there was a 3rd party conservative I could get behind, McVain would be the exception to the trend. Oh well.

Not for me.

It is probably one of their ad servers causing trouble for you. They tend to do that sporadically when they serve an ad with lousy or invasive code. Rarely affects me because I have altered my hosts list. (Google it;-)

Posting drunk is bad policy, son. And if you think that HotAir commenters are McCain sycophants, you must truly be drunk………
Good luck with that headache.

Good luck with that case of rampant cranial-rectal inversion, ***daddy****.

And while I perhaps could have stated it more precisely, it is obvious that your reading comprehension is lacking even more than my writing competence.

Obama will change gears and drop the Marxism once he has the primary in the bag. Then you’ll see the full force of hatred poured out on McCain, to which he’ll reply by further dumping on the conservative base and promising to enact wide swaths of leftist policy (e.g. his current global warming evangelism).

Let chaos reign for as long as possible. Keep it up, Rush, because the longer we keep the media focused on the bloodletting in the Democrat party, the less time they’ll have to vivisection McCain during the general campaign.

McCain seems to be using some kind of “really new math”, as he has said that if the federal gas tax was suspended it would lower gas prices by 20 percent. The federal gas tax is only about 18+ cents a gallon, I believe, which would mean that a gallon of gas must cost about 90+ cents a gallon in “Juan’s World”. Talk about being “out of touch”.

“…in the new approach, as you know, the important thing is to understand what you’re doing, rather than to get the right answer.”

So… is it AQ being trained in Iran or is it terrorists?

“…it’s terrorist being trained, not al-Qaeda” …St Mc with Holy Joe at his elbow.

Looks like some people agree.

Waaaaahhh!!!

food unlike oil and gasoline is trading on fundemetals (low supply) not hype.

You are unaware of the fundamentals of commodity pricing, if you think oil is not trading on fundamentals but other commodities strictly are.

How about a link from you, Mr. Linksalot. You’re the one saying that he was lamenting (in sackcloth I bet) the ‘fact’ (Fact? No, that would be opinion) that ABC didn’t smooch his butt like every other debate panel has … er, I mean ask ‘important’ questions about flowers and bunnies and such.

A sissy candidate with angry children for supporters … lovely.

Worth repeating. They are the change they’ve been waiting for.

As it is, except amongst their sycophants, all three of them inspire apathy at best among the Moderates; anger and despair among people who actually cling strongly to their principles, whether those principles come from Conservatism or Leftism.

LegendHasIt on April 19, 2008 at 6:16 PM

Posting drunk is bad policy, son. And if you think that HotAir commenters are McCain sycophants, you must truly be drunk. It’s not clear what you are saying about Obama, though. He “causes depair among people who actually cling strongly to their [leftist] principles”?!

Good luck with that headache.

When “naked fishing” goes national, you know you have a hostile press…

And there was another recent poll that had as I recall (favorable – unfavorable) Obama +21, McCain +10 and Clinton +2 (or maybe it was -2).

The polls are all over the lot.

MB4 on April 19, 2008 at 5:57 PM

Link, dink.

Left-leaning folks were seduced by Obama’s silver tongue. They were intoxicated, he whispered sweet nothings about hope and fairness and change – he said exactly what they wanted to hear. He seduced them with his sweet talk about how good they could be … together. They were putty in his hands – a frenzied communion of kindred spirits. It was a time of sublime ecstasy, building momentum to a fever pitch. Oh joy, oh rapture, moving faster and faster to a nomination.

Oops. Sorry.

I’ll bet it’s never happened to him before.

Couldn’t have said it any differently or any better so I won’t. Well said.

Since two of Obama’s main arguments for supporting him are character issues (1] he will bring us together and 2] his superior judgment trumps his lack of experience), the 50 minutes ABC spent examining his statements and associations seem vitally important, not trivial as Obama and Nonfactor disingenuously imply:

All [Obama’s] been lamenting is the fact that ABC waited 50 minutes to talk about any issues that affect the American people.

Nonfactor on April 19, 2008 at 4:54 PM

How much, for example, can we trust Obama’s promise to bring us all together if he privately makes denigrating comments about large segments of our population? Also, how much can we trust his judgment when he hangs around a race-baiting minister and an unrepentant bomber who regrets failing to blow us all apart?

Indeed, what issue could affect the American people more than the quality of the person they elect? The Left, itself, recognizes this fact. Have they not spent seven plus years screaming Bush is dishonest and incompetent? If Bush’s character is important to them, then why shouldn’t Obama’s character be important to us?

And as to nonfactor, himself/herself, my advice is this: delink, please.

mcCain made a great start with his tax break for gasoline

unseen on April 19, 2008 at 9:05 PM

I don’t know about that. If the price of gasoline goes down it will just encourage people to use more of it than they already do. That will put upward pressure on prices.

And besides, McCain has bought into Al’s Global Warming, so that would seem to be going in two directions at once.

And to top all that off, McCain seems to be using some kind of “really new math”, as he has said that if the federal gas tax was suspended it would lower gas prices by 20 percent. The federal gas tax is only about 18+ cents a gallon, I believe, which would mean that a gallon of gas must cost about 90+ cents a gallon in “Juan’s World”. Talk about being “out of touch”.

Personally I’m much better off. and thanks to the Fed’s actions and bush’s treasury admin It appears that many millions of families will also stay that way. Oil is in a bubble, trading on news not fundementals it will crash soon, the dollar is headed higher as soon as the fed stops cutting rates, Food prices and quanity IMO are going to be the major issue in nov. We are already seing some roits in 3rd world nations over food. It will only get worse. food unlike oil and gasoline is trading on fundemetals (low supply) not hype. Not one of the canidates is talking about what they are going to do to enable our farmers to grow more food.
mcCain made a great start with his tax break for gasoline, his idea of increasing deductions, getting rid of the AMT, keeping the tax cuts for all americans. Now he needs to deal with the supply of food. america has a golden oppurtunity to become the world’s breadbasket. We could start to have dollars returned to the USA by greatly increasing our exports IRT food. We have the technolgy, the means, the land and the fertilzer. Already china, parts of Asia,Afica and South America are showing strains on food production. If we need oil, the rest of the world needs food.
