GOPwingers think you're lying. >>>Bush is a crook against the American people. He fought for 14.5 billion in tax breaks for big oil just as oil started up past $60 a barrel in 2005. Now it's much higher and the oil corps are making record profits, but has Bush suggested giving back that money from the gas gougers to the tax-payers? Nope. How about windfall profits taxes? Nope. How about regulation? Nope. Because he's their lobbyist, their pimp, their thief-in-chief.<<< Is this true? Yes, it is! >>>Highway robbery. And since the summer of 2000, Big Oil and Enron types have been colluding without competition to price-fix higher and higher, causing deliberate shortages, phony shortages, always lying. In fact I heard it myself from an oil man when I was recently in Austin. He admitted that Bush-Cheney are a ticket to gouge for the entire industry.<<< I don't know about the comments from your friend, but what you wrote sure does appear true. >>>Next, the health care and prescription drugs business. Same deal as energy. Now we learn 20% of the old folks are paying MORE under Bush's fat pork barrel corporte welfare budget-busting Medicare plan. Why are they paying more? Because the corps are raking in more profit margins.<<< Well, that's true too. And not only that, the Administration lied to Congress as to what the costs would be. And there was a resignation in protest to the Administration's action. >>>Next to Iraq --- awful, huge mess, enormous waste, utterly misplanned, profiteerede by Halliburton and other fat cat cronies and totally lied about to the people. Has made terrorism stronger and the US weaker despite great work by our troops. UGH.<<< Now, that's true too. I don't know why these GOPwingers are continuously claiming that what you write isn't true. Methinks they never got over pigpile from junior high school. I don't think they appreciate your level of excitment and the strong spirit to which you make your claims. I think, for the most part, their criticisms of you are unfounded. And my only criticism of you is that you don't frequently enough cite references to support your statements. >>>There is a lot more, but time to impeach these crooked fat asses with extreme prejudice.<<< Hey, whatta ya know! This is true, too!
