Re: The executives, appearing under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee, said they know high prices are hurting people, but they said the cause is not company profits but global supply and demand. And they sought to use their appearance before Congress to argue against new taxes on their industry I just wish one of them would have had the cojones to say, "You elected an ex oil man who owed his financial life to the Saudi prince that bailed him out of impending bankruptcy. What did you expect?" The you is us. I voted against Bush both times, but should have worked harder for Gore and Kerry. Bush was elected and the result is that our country has lost the respect of the world, our military is half wrecked, our economy has been destroyed, 100's of thousands of people have had their lives ruined, and 10's of thousands have died. A family that's lost its home or had a parent crippled or killed in a foreign war can never fully recover. Bush was quoted in the paper today as saying he'd given up golf while our troops were in Iraq and that meant his sacrifice was similar to theirs. And Bush wouldn't have been elected except that McCain so strongly supported him as having the military and foreign affairs competence our nation needed. McCain's every bit as guilty as Bush.
