Exxon-Mobil is my neighbor, I have a 401k (what is left of it thanks to B.O.) and part of it is invested in oil stocks. if you have a 401k or an IRA you are probably in on their profits also. I also work on an airplane at work that is owned by an oil company, they are our best customer, you may not personaly own stock in Exxon Mobil but a lot of people you know get a benefit from the fact they still exist. Give our current national leaders a chance and they will be even less than the 5% of the world oil market they are now or another company hijacked by D.C. (like government motors GM). This is the reason Drill here, drill now makes sense, it puts Americans to work with jobs that aren't minimum wage.Moe said:

Don't forget that Congress was 'ruled' by Dems for the last two years of the last administration and they were labeled the 'Do Nothing Congress' for obvious reasons as we went down the tubes.tjnamtiw said:Moe said:
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick and tired of hearing 'it wasn't on the current administration's watch' comments or constantly blaming everything on Bush.

You got that right tjnamtiw....the DEMOCRATICALLY controlled congress ruled the land....the mortgage mess started all of this, and the likes of Dems. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd said in 2006 that there wasn't any problem with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae......yeah, right. Oh, and I seem to remember one member raising serious concerns about this...oh yeah, it was John McCain, a Republican.
Moe, get your Democratic cool-aid drinking head out of the sand.
Ahhhhh, I can see it now.....the Mods or Craig will send this thread to the Ash can very soon.......
Moe said:Aww, must we get nasty? Do you listen to talk radio -- the cool-aid of the airwaves?

As far as Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck . . . well, perhaps if people would lay off the talk radio for a few months, their brain cells may actually repair themselves. Cult group think is all I ever hear come out of their listeners' mouths. There must be a detox program somewhere for these people where they cannot listen for, say, 28 days. Some will need long-term treatment. But like any treatment, the person's got to want it or it won't work. One program is too many and 1,000 not enough.
Combativeness, coming unglued, getting very nasty, all signs and symptoms of the malady. Jim Jones followers in a different form -- not as deadly though, more subtle. The Kool-Aid reference was used with a full understanding.
These people deserve our empathy and understanding because they are in the grips of something they do not understand. A serious program for deprogramming is in order.
Take care now.
***********************
Do you even know where the kool aid reference came from? It came from the Rev. Jim Jones when he had his flock drink the mix that killed them. I will assume that when you referenced talk radio that you are referring to Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck...etc. Those guys are about LIFE and the individual as a means to his own end. I would suggest that if you are going to use the "buzz" words, to at least apply them correctly least someone accuse you of "jumping the shark" one too many times.
