I'll Rant But Who'll listen

The oil companies profit has grown nearly 400% in the last four years but they (the oil companies) claim that it's not their fault! Of course the person claiming that makes 12 million dollars a year so his view may be influenced by all that money. It's about time our government stepped in and protected us. Gas is not a luxury item where the "Law of supply and demand” can be allowed to play out at the corporate direction, gas is a necessity to get to work, the kids to school even to buy food so why has it taken our government so long to even start asking questions? Maybe it has to do with our current President's post White House employment plans?

If the Superdelegates overturn the will of the people when picking the next Democratic presidential candidate I will vote Republican! The people choose, not a small group of people, but all the people! I support Obama for President but should the popular vote give the candidacy to Clinton so be it.  As long as the people and not the Democratic Party decide.

  Well its about time! Although I think all American citizens if not all goverment officals already know that. You can't condone torture and still pretend to be one of the good guys.

It is my fervent hope that the next president of the United States will in fact, return the offices of the president and vice president to their “proper” place in the government of our country and work to pass definitive laws that will keep future, “would be dictators” from ignoring the laws of the land they were elected to govern. Please, who ever is elected President, remember that a signing statement may not be used to exempt the executive branch from obeying that law, and no amount of security need preempts the need for judicial and legislative oversight. The Executive branch is only one of three equal branches of our government. A fact that our current president and vice president apparently are either unaware of or choose to ignore.

Even if this report is true and not another example of the kind of information Bush produced as a excuse to invade Iraq. Bush lacks the credibility both nationally and internationally to make any meaningful use of the report’s information.  Thus is a liar paid for his deceit. We would all do well to remember that a single lie casts the shadow of doubt over a thousand truths.
