Monday nights bitch session
First of all the grope-n-ator has been picked by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher to be the first foreign president by proposing an amendment to the constitution:
Next, Two separate problems with Iraq deployments and reenlistment: http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/nation/9703073.htm http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E53%257E2407475,00.html Then there is the normal dirty politics of the RNC, and chairman Ed Gillespie: Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November. Lets look at Mr Gillespie, or Enron Ed. nuff said. And finally, the right keeps claiming that Kerry wants to raise the taxes on oil, something that I believe would do our country a whole lot of good in some areas. But this article from April 2004 re: Cheney's actions in the mid-80's seems to reverse the positions of the two then senators: In 1986, then- Congressman Dick Cheney proposed a tax on oil that would have raised gasoline prices and laid 400,000 workers off. Despite this bill, the Bush-Cheney campaign claims that they are interested in lower gas prices and opposed to higher taxes. Senator Kerry helped stop Cheney's proposed gas price hike, co-sponsoring for a resolution in opposition to the plan. Even Cheney's fellow Republican lawmakers opposed his gas price hike - - 15 Senators joined Kerry to sponsor a resolution in 1987 to stop Cheney's bill. Cheney Opposed Low Oil Prices. Even the Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania (Teresa's first man) said "the proposals would add $1.3 billion per year to the energy costs of Pennsylvania consumers. He also cited a study done for a Federal Reserve Bank suggesting that a $5 per barrel fee would lead to the loss of 400,000 jobs nationwide and cause inflation to soar." 10:31 PM // Blogroll AE // Email // |
