Rumor has it that regular will go up to 4.00/gal tomorrow.. it will now cost me 24.00 to fill the tank on my bike. grrrrrr. Not good.. and about 58.00 for my car.

I live 3 miles from work so perhaps I can use my pedal bike instead.. ooops gave that away.. lol.

I filled up today.. Last time for a long while.. I don't get out and about much. Mostly
once every other week just to go to the local beer store. Hopefully GWB will get this
under control and the prices will come back down.

I wouldn,t count on GW to do anything, he's an oil man himself. He's making money off of this.

It's $3.09 a gallon here, hate to see what it will be on Thursday. The sad part is that the price goes up with the market price, and then some. There are alot of places here still at $2.79 and across the street it's $3.09. I worked at a Sunoco during the gulf war and remember that we changed price when our company told us to do it. Sometimes they would call 2 or 3 times a day... and I was always afraid someone might throw something at me while I was changing the board 8O

If one thing could get GW fired it's the gas price.. If he knows whats good for his party
he will find a way to get it back to where it should be. Over $2 a gallon is tough but $4 a gallon is bizarre.. He better fix it or "we" will find someone who can..

Post Now kids ...
I'm a lil late here (took me two weeks to find my PW) but it did NOT get that bad did it? :razz:

It may NOW LOL!! (post hurricanes) ...

Anyways, it ain't GWB's fault. I can't IMAGINE what kind of trouble we'd be in now if Gore or Kerry were president...we'd still be "studying" the Taliban threat.

GWB at least kicks ass, and it's good for the economy, GWB has provided strong leadership. Sitting back got us TWO World Trade Center bombings .... I'd rather be on the offensive.

I don't know anyone -- Democrat or Republican -- who wasn't thinking on the day of Sept 11, 2001 "Thank God George Bush is our president". Even people like Rosie ODonnell were saying that at the time.

I don't think Gore would have even known what to do and all his cabinent appointments would have political friends and people needed to "make the cabinent representative of the popular".

The trouble for people who don't like Bush ... the Democratic candidates in almost every election since 1980 have been some big losers (Kerry, Gore, Mondale as examples).

Even if you were skeptical about Bush and Iraq, how the hell could you have voted for John Kerry. That guy was a terrible candidate and his wife was a complete nutball. He never did make it clear anything about himself except that he "was in Vietnam" and he never did say what his Iraq plan was.

Ah the 2 party system.

And Clinton firing missiles into the middle of nowhere in the late 1990's in "retaliation" for something Osama did like attack a ship or something. Yeah, that's how to secure the country.

Bush is burying us in debt. Maybe the next President will have a plan.

What exactly are Republicans "for" anymore, by the way? Fiscal conservatism? Small government? Reforms? Cutting government spending?

If the Democrats weren't such complete losers, I don't understand anymore why someone should vote Republican other than that they "suck less".

Well me and the wife switched. I drive her Honda to work, 26 miles one way, and she drives my truck. My truck gets 17 mpg and her car gets 25.

It's helped but if the gas continues to rise, I'll start riding a bike to work.

I've suggested it and it's not out of the question either. The famous question that gets thrown at me is, "What are you going to do if it starts raining?"

I reply, "Get wet?"
