I don’t understand why liberals get upset when the price of oil or petrol goes up this is not a liberal vs. conservative thing in the least. the discontent with the price of gas isn't a party matter as i see it. where blame is based might be more partissan, but not the price and the crunch on the wallet.

in our current position you only need 15 or 16 states to win well, if all those big states swung 1 way, that would be true. but he reality is this..california tends to go democrat texas tends to go republican new york tends to go democrat pennsylvania tends to go democrat, but not always florida goes back and forth ohio goes back and forth new jersey tends to go democrat tennesee tend

I do believe God was behind the writing of our founding documents as his HS was leading these men to write down what they did.I do believe that God was the power beneath our wings like I said before. sorry, i can't share that thought. and i find it a little scary to equate our political documents with scripture. The fact they even used the word "created" tho shows they believed in God's Creative Powers. Again, they di

we make it that one vote goes to the canadet instead of the whole state well, that would make say, a californian's vote even less valuable than say a north dakotan's is today. the electoral college reflects the numbers of members in both the house and senate. the number you send to washington (delaware is 3, 1 house, 2 senate) is the total number of delagates you get. but along the lines of your thinking, i have suggested a more localized col

i just had to add a few thoughts here. i was tempted to respond to some specific quotes here, but there are simply too many juicy ones in these comments for it to be reasonable. i am one of those "political bloggers" on JU. and quite frankly, it was a long time till i even realized there was anything going on here besides politics. to me, stardock was the maker of "political machine" as far as their software went. that, and something called

97% of the founding fathers were practicing Christians who did that poll? 187 of the first 200 colleges in America were Christian, Bible teaching institutions Noah Webster wrote the dictionary with Bible verses You could hardly find a school in America that wasn't Christian based with the Bible as its main text book until the 1830's</

You want to overhaul politics in America, break the parties love to ...where do we start? More power to the communities, counties, states, and less hidden away in the Washington beltway. More government representing the people of a given area, and not a flaccid, ineffectual agreement between 300 million people who can't agree. Keep the crooks close to home, in meetings you can attend, and they won't get away w

I'd like to know who the philosopher demigod is gonna be who is going to decide how much money you make is too much. again,,,can't speak for the col,,, but i look at it as more of an issue that this industry is anti-competitive. and no baker, i don't have all the answers there, but it does irk me. everytime i look at that industry there is a lot of happenstance that always seems to end up meaning they make more money. and the sob stories from the indust

Conflict Of Interest @ MSNBC? in The Environment JoeUser Forums

My jury is still out on the issues of climate change and alternative energies. And while some things are encouraging, I realize that there is no "magic bullet" that will make all of our climate change, pollution and national security questions, et al, go away in an instant.

Those banners contained phrases such as "In God We Trust" (the official motto of the United States); "One Nation Under God" (a phrase from the Pledge of Allegiance); "God Bless America" (the title of a patriotic song); "God Shed His Grace On Thee" (a line from a popular patriotic song) all things that were instituted or at the height of their popularity in the 1950's. and "in god we trust" is not "the official motto" but a national m

Secondly, as my beef with movies critics, STOP reviewing games which you won't like. If you hate turn-based strategy titles and hardly ever play them you have no right to be reviewing the latest and greatest from Intelligent Systems. Not only do you lack the knowledge of what to compare the title to but you are already predisposed to give a bad score i disagree. a review or critique is valid from ANY PERSPECTIVE. the reviewer do

Oil companies can't just buy a patch of land and build a refinery. Do you understand who puts up the most obstacles when it comes to building new, cleaner refineries? oil companies put up 1/2 assed efforts to show that they are trying...as soon as anyone voices an opposition, they throw up their hands and act helpless...big whoop. and for the record, i'm not so sure about a tax, per se...but we can do better than the way we have let big o

Why are you complaining again? lol,,,this is what i said...i can't speak for the col. .... but unfortunately, in the end, all that will happen is a couple of gas sation independent owners will go down, "abu gihrab" style. and here you are flaunting a bunch of gas station data. this isn't about them. this isn't about scapegoating some small business for chargin a dime more than the place down the street.

They claim the spring maintenance is the reason for the highest gas prices ever in this Country . you'd think they'd be plannin ahead after all these years. if oil were a truly competitive marketplace, instead of the corrupt, price fixing industry it has shown itself to be (and i don't need a court of law to tell me what is clear, that big oil doesn't really compete against one another...gas stations might, but oil companies
