Got Back from a Gas station
Well, well, well. I just got back from an errand and a refill at a local gas station here in Bean Town. A disgruntled Bush voter loudly voiced his anger. He looked right at me, and saw me grimace at his W sticker on the bumber of his truck. And this is what he said:

"Yeah.... I know. I must've been drunk to think he was anything but a punk ass con man. He's killin us with these gas prices! Dammit!!!"

With that I said:

"Vote for a Dem."

He said:

"Maybe I will!"

The tide is turning. Tomorrow I go to a vigil in support of Cindy! Let's bring our men and women back to thier loved ones!

1. Hehe.... Good. Print this out on some cards or stickers to leave at the
pumps. Keep reminding them.

6. And when you hear that...
From a "W" sticker sporting Good Ol' Boy, you know someone and some party got them a heap o' problems.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

7. The tide is turning. Sad to say though, it's the price of gas that causes
the turn. Not an immoral war, nor lying about EVERYTHING under the sun, nor being (s)elected fraudulently. Nope, it's gas prices. Gawd bless 'Murika.

8. I hear you, and I second that emotion.
Too many people still voting their pocketbooks and their need to win, instead of their conscience.

12. I think it's a sad comment on how unaware....
some people stay politically.

DUH-bya made the mistake of not covering his ass at the place where everyone can see the results of his bad policies, whether they ever turn on a TV or open a papar.

I am AMAZED, but so far, none the people I've asked if they've heard about Cindy had a clue she's in Crawford, didn't know DUH-bya has a "ranch" there, that he's on vacation, and didn't know the peace vigil is going on.

(We need a scratch head emoticon guy.)

18. Agree with ya on that one, growlypants. Welcome to DU!
My daughter would say people like that make her pro-nuclear and she doesn't mean power plants.

It's like half the nation is nothing but 2 year olds who don't see any problem until it directly interferes with their little world. Pretty sad. Tens of thousands dead, Iraq in ruins, the US bankrupt (morally and fiscally) no leadership on any issue where we need to solve some problems and the price of gas is what they are concerned about.

:banghead:

20. That dominant selfish gene again...
what worries me is that THEY control the price of gas. If they want to, they can lower it, and all the little lemmings will sing his praises once again...

23. This group has done the gas price thing before. It's one of the tactics
used against Jimmy Carter. Oh and let's not forget the ol' "hold on to the hostages just a tad longer." The bush family evil empire and their nasty friends have had their grubby little hands in quite a few sordid affairs.

24. Had a freeper friend of my husband ACTUALLY
tell me that high gas prices just PROVE that * is not in it for himself!
Claims that if * had it his way, gas would be cheap so we would buy more of it. :crazy: :spray:

I asked him if it didn't make more sense that they were making as MUCH as they can for as LONG as they can... :eyes:

I could tell that I had somehow managed to penetrate his veil of stupidity.

Lots of Bush-bots are waking up -- thank God that Cheney's avarice is gonna be the big Dick that fucks the Republi-nazis in the end (bum pun intended).

I guess it doesn't matter to some people unless it affects their pockets.
