Just saw a financial program explaining how higher gas prices won’t affect the economy. This, from a group of stock brokers and players making money on the stock market. Never heard one of them mention the adverse action this takes on travel, such as: planes, trains, cars, and buses. Do you think this will make their prices go up and affect the amount of traffic? Of course there are those who have to travel for their business and employment. I do believe it will harm them, and affect them adversely. Then of course, we have those who have sufficient funds, that it doesn’t bother them. I don’t believe the owners of Bentleys, Rolls. Porches, and so forth, will suffer too much either.

There are small business owners offering services such as: plumbing, carpentry, painting, electrical repair, and so forth. They have to travel distances for their customers to perform their services. You can’t tell me the cost of fuel cannot make the difference between failure and success. For them to succeed, they will have to raise their prices, which will affect their customers’ budgets, and encourage them to put off needed maintenance. John Q. Public will be affected greatly for increased food costs. Farm equipment for planting uses fuel. Equipment for harvesting uses fuel. Freight transport to the processor has fuel costs. Freight transport to warehouses uses fuel. Transport to stores uses fuel. Customers trips to stores uses fuel. All these add to the costs of food. And the Democrats complain about Wal-Mart - THINK!!

The average consumer will be hurt in about the same manner as they are being harmed by the actions of trial lawyers, with the costs of their unethical suits and settlements being past on to the consumer. Case in point… a certain trial lawyer running for President with an estate and homes in the millions, complaining about their neighbor, next door to their newest shangri la being constructed. Oh yeah, this guy talks about the two Americas - the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’. He has, they don’t. He is just like all the other Democratic Presidential seekers, trying to stir up class envy, and bitterness of the electorate to get votes - playing on people’s discontent if they have any.

All of these Democratic Presidential aspirants are rich. Also, so are the Hollywood celebs helping them in these efforts. They talk of raising the tax on the rich. If they felt so bad for the poor, why don’t they give all their wealth to them? They are among the most hypocritical people on the face of the Earth. Reasonable people do not envy the rich if they earned it honestly - only those who obtained it through illicit or crooked ways. Trial lawyers are in this class with their $400 haircuts.

I watched the debate on MSNBC of the Republicans seeking the Presidency. It was what I thought it would be - a Democratic hatchet job. What else could you expect from NBC and politico.com? The question asked of Giuliani about the difference in Sunni and Shea Muslims was on the same order as when they asked Bush, who were the leaders in two small, relatively unknown Balkan countries during that election. They also asked him about Roe vs. Wade and abortions, knowing this was one of the sticking points for most Republicans. Apparently they think he is the greatest threat to defeat whoever their candidate may be.

Other Democrats are beginning to try to destroy his image for the 9/11 persona he exhibited. Concerning war and military objectives, the Democratic party does not believe in offense, only defense. You tell me any team that ever won with that kind of play. In this 21st century, with all the threats and terrorist activities, having the Democrats in charge scares the hell out of me. I will say one thing to the Republicans - You have a lot of obstacles to overcome, not the least of these are: ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, TIME, Newsweek, Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, and the affect George Soros, the billionaire and atheist, and Hollywood celebs trying to influence their fans, thinking how STUPID their fans are. Let’s hope not.

Thank God you have some support with the Conservative radio talk show hosts.
