I don't understand why more people are not signing the Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less petition At American Solutions for Winning the Future.
They're Obama supporters.

Heard a talk show today that made the very astute observation that when the ‘worker bees’ of this nation decide to stay home because it costs more to go to work and hire baby sitters than it is worth it will definitely be the beginning of the end.
The truckers will probably be the first to go then it is downhill from there.
EVERYBODY had better wake up quick.
The ‘preaching to the choir’ folks keep bringing up how much the cost of gas has risen since the Libs took control of the House and Senate, but the MSM keeps quoting Pelosi & Co about how bad Bush, Cheney and Big Oil is screwing us.
Sign the petition here to drill for more oil.
That's just plain weird. Since when is the "middle class" as a rule "Republican?" That mush in the middle cannot be labelled.

Anyone surprised about this knows squat about history and Marxism. A strong middle class is the enemy of state rule. So of course the dems want to destroy it by converting it into a state dependent lower class. From such arises their power. See the African American community for a prime example. The dems have successfully degraded most of that community to the point of utter dependence, and they get 90 plus percent of that vote. They are now working on the rest of America, and the “green” movement, domination of govt schools, and ownership of the MSM are their tools. Sadly, they are succeeding.
The November election is still far enough away to get the discontent messaged out to Washington, D.C.
We all need to write, call or fax representatives and senators to tell them that drilling needs to get started pronto. And the rhetoric that it doesn’t matter because it will be ten years before it gets to the consumer is hog wash. This is America and we could invent oil in ten years if we had to. Well, maybe not invent oil, but how about a substitute for oil. And I don’t mean something stupid like ethanol that takes a food crop away from hungry people.
What a boondoggle that was. Didn’t it occur to anybody that taking all that corn out of the grocery market would make a difference in the food bill? Yep — all the way from corn bread to steaks.
Anybody who thinks it would take ten years to get new oil to market doesn’t (1) have faith in good old American ingenuity and persistence, and (2) doesn’t give credit to all the chemists and engineers in the United States who could solve problems if the 110th Congress hadn’t tied their hands with a kadzillion places where oil can’t be drilled.
We absolutely have to lay this oil problem at the doorstep of the 110th Congress because the Democratic controlled congress has the power to authorize repealing the ban on offshore drilling.
Will someone go down to Brazil, please, and get some fresh ideas on how they became independent of oil.
“The so-called “Global Oil Crisis” is an invention of the US liberal ruling class, which has successfully managed to export their disastrous ideas worldwide. Oil supply and demand has been on knife-edge balance for years.”
The liberals are promoting the envio-terrorists agenda and refust to tap our own resources. Vote the bums out!
People are waking up but they don't really know what to do. It seems obvious to me and maybe to you but all they have heard for the last six year is how evil Bush is and the Republicans haven't help themselves at all by acting like Democrats. Memories are short when not reminded how the Dems said the were going to fix gas prices 2 years ago they blame the guy's they perceive to be in charge. Collectively we forget that the Democrats have been obstructing any reasonable energy solutions for more than 20 years, heck 30 years. That why I think it will be the 2010 elections before the s**t hits the fan electorly. I just hope things don't take a real ughly turn in the mean time.
IIRC the I.R.S. just raised those rates. Might want to have your employer check on that for you...
“I just hope things don’t take a real ughly turn in the mean time.”
I used to think that way. Now I think that the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered.
Vote the bums out!”

At least for the last half century, that has always been the case. The ultra-poor and the ultra-wealthy are Democrats. Working people, especially those with college-graduate-type professional occupations tend to be Republicans.
It is also true that the Democrats ultimate goal is to turn the US into a third-world country, with only two classes; the wealthy and the peasants. This is easy to see from all of their policies. You simply have to look past their PR/rhetoric, though. Because they are good at labeling things as other than they really are. For example; the Dems always want to tax the “Rich”, but the actual rich folks (like trust-fund Ted Kennedy) already have their wealth, and we don't have a wealth-tax (other than the estate tax, which the uber-wealthy manage to minimize). We have an income-tax, which hit hardest those who are successful, but still working and trying to accumulate wealth. In other words, the middle class.
Thanks for posting this powerful warning! These are the very people that have been ignorant and appethetic, saying:"I'm so busy trying to keep my head above water that I don't know and I don't care!"
It is now time for all of us to care very deeply!!!
Thanks neverdem.

“We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. That’s not leadership.”
Senator Barack Obama
And yet the RATS seem destined to add to their majorities in both houses. Certainly you can blame the Republicans for ineptness on a Clouseau scale, but not to this extent. You’re talking mass suicide by the voters.
Because signing on-line petitions is a waste of time.
What kind of car are you driving that 50.5 and 58.5 cents per mile this year doesn't more than cover your gas costs?
We will see in November. Competitive Congressional Districts will be the proof in/of the pudding. These polls are deliberately inarticulate. They want to hear themselves talk. With the question, "Is the country going in the right or wrong direction," they add the Moveon.org crowd to the religious right, among others including libertarians. IMHO, it's the dumbest question ever asked. Most people live in gerrymandered Congressional Districts.
Look for more specific questions like drivers licenses for illegal aliens. It's not too popular.
Fourth thread? If this $300 thing happens the planet will be out of business. Population should be back to 1900 level in a couple of years.
