Bast**ds--------Delta Air Lines executives have made a strong financial

union, and management has a seemingly endless supply of
propaganda toward that aim. In addition to piles of anti-union
material at every Inflight office throughout the country, now
they've sent this slick anti-union video to 14,000 Delta flight
attendants--funded with Delta employees' own money. Watch it and
you'll see just how low Delta's executive team is willing to go
to keep AFA-CWA off the property and to keep a tight rein on
every decision that is made during the proposed merger. Click

I watched it a week ago and is frightening.

In case you don't read the newspapers Americans (hard working citizens) are tired of the republican party. I know it is hard to believe for the pack of four on this board.

Not hard for me to believe.

Make that 19 mpg....on level road, light traffic, no head or cross wind...with cruise set at 65 mph. It really does not matter to me so long as I do NOT have to ride public transportation. At $3.70 p/gallon ($3.60 around here), it's still cheaper than milk, beer, wine and whiskey. Hell, it takes nearly $70 to fill my honey's vehicle when it's down to one-fourth tank. The tree huggers and oil company stockholders are licking their cops. Still kicking my self for NOT buying that ExxonMobil stock when it was around $48.

Do you and honey eat at the Pig Stand in the ole big red?

<quoted text>Price of gas always goes up during war time. What is the Bush energy policy? It has been eight years since Clinton left office and Bush had control of all three branches of government. Leave the blame at the feet of Bush/Chenney.

If you've studied any economics, you know return on infrastructures such as refineries, oil exploration/extraction, and nuclear power generation don't happen overnight. Clinton's veto pen is costing us now. Congress has been braindead for a long while in this-too many 'what-about-me's' to take a coherent look at the long-term strategies needed. Pelosi and Reid don't have the skill to run a gas station successfully, let alone lead in Congress.

He got too stiff, and lost the message at the close of his campaign. He was such a great guy, and then became a stuffed suit-too many rants. They lost control and started following too many polls-literally in real time. He should have fired LeHane-vindictive lil sh1t that he is. Got his mousey lil ars kicked by someone cool, calm and collected named Carl Rove, plain and simple. Carl would be great to have a coupla beers with and chat.

Coke bottle-ya better call a friend. What would be the price of gas with Barack Hussein, I mean Hussein Obama, I mean Saddam Hussein controlling the entire middle east oil supply. Or say Iran doing the same in the near future-I'd say President Bush has had a pretty effective energy plan-you just have to be smart enough to recognize it. Sorry, you were NOT 'Smarter Than a Fifth Grader', but we do have nice parting gifts for you.

I noticed how effective Bush's oil policy today was as I paid $3.65 a gallon.

I think you will have to be a allot smarter than those trailer trash republican who faithfully list to Rush the draft dogger, and think this war is winnable. Study some history. The English were there for a Hundred years, and lost.

The only thing Saddam controlled was his threat to the Saudis and Kuwait, and therefore they danced to our tune all through the Clinton years and oil was cheap.

Junior Bush under minded all of Post WWII security measures emphasized by all Presidents and very successfully by Reagan and Bush Sr. by removing Saddam who was an evil and corrupted man. But he was a stabilizing force just like Tito was in Yugoslavia.

We should drill in Florida and Alaska.

It is amazing that the same people that gladly spend well over a dollar for a drink of water they could get from the tap, and happily drive miles to pay $3.00 for a cup of coffee they could make at home for $0.25 are the ones that squeak the loudest when you ask them to pay $4.00 for a gallon of gas…

Seems to me when I started driving a snickers bar was a dime, a loaf of bread was a quarter, a new pickup was $2,500 and a gallon of gas was $0.50 and I was working for $1.65 and hour. Yeah, it’d be great if the price came down, but it’s just not that much in the scheme of things.

Hey uh, Mr. Historian, the English were in the US for 150 years and they lost, what’s your point, that the English are losers or that if something is difficult one should just give up?
