   Just who do you think stifled it in committee, it was Democrats. C'mon,   
   you are not that ignorant. Now you are saying you were for McCains bill?   
   Meaning you are now agreeing that there was hanky panky going on?

   BS, the demand wasn't that high, yes the dollar is low, but it was the   
   housing crisis that created the banking and insurance failures and   
   subsequent bail outs. The whole world was invested in it, that is why   
   they all hurt. It was not the oil prices that caused Greenland to go   
   bankrupt, nor did it cause any of the rest of the worlds calamity. You   
   are mixing apples and oranges here.

   Yes, they had profits thanks to specualtors. It was a natural cause and   
   effect, the higher the volume of dollars spent the higher the volume of   
   profit even at lower percentages of profit. They are the most overtaxed   
   of all corporations, and as a consequense the poor suffer the higher   
   prices and the poorest fuel mileage which is amongst my earlies   
   contentions this go around.

   They are both cut from the same cloth. In fact Nancy is one of the   
   driving forces behind Obama.
