"The previous position of Bush was that conservation would hurt the economy. "

Source that for me please....Quote--not an opinion from the DNC

Please reference a source you would believe and be glad to comply. I saw it with my own beady eyes, so I am sure I can find someone else who did since it was all over the news for days.

Politically Correct had it right tonight. How come Bush has faith in the ability to build SDI and does not have the same faith in developing alternative fuels?

oleman-

What part do you not understand? Source---A quote from W.

Kind of like I did here.

''I think conservation has got to be part of making sure we have got a reasonable energy policy, but what the vice president was saying was we can't conserve our way to energy independence,'' Bush said. ''We have got to do both. We've got to conserve, but we also have to find new sources of energy.''

(An AP story)

Not an opinion from a poorly named TV show-- a quote stating what you said that was the President's position.

"I saw it with my own beady eyes"

Your eyes have probably gotten worse with age, your opinions skewed by your own bias.

Just a quote. From a source.

Remember this oleman---when you leave that corner you have painted yourself into you will leave the footprints of a trapped man with little more than biased opinions.

Good Luck cleaning the floor and getting the paint off of the shoes.

The quote you used was the flip-flop!! Thanks. He was correcting what Cheney had said just a few hours earlier! Cheney had down played conservation. Bush is going to be giving national speeches on conservation before this over. I will get a bunch of quotes for you as long as you accept AP and such as quotable. But can't believe you missed his comments on restricting energy use as damaging to the economy.

oleman-

You aren't very good at this.

If you have the quotes source them and post a link, if not stick to your chicken little predictions.

Two days later......still waiting.

Good Luck.

Not to interrupt a perfectly good argument, but Bob Dole paid $1.79 for premium today. (Bob Dole is kicking Bob Dole's self for buying something that <i>requires</i> premium...)

Regular unleaded is now $2.19 a gallon in Chicago. This was not in an expensive area, either - I'm sure it's worse downtown.

Bob Dole-

No problem, I used you as a reference earlier...

*from an earlier post*

"-Home power bills through the roof. (Don't believe me--ask Bob Dole) "

I still chuckle at your power bill rant earlier this year :^)

(Not that you were being gouged, just the way you posted it.)

In AZ It's $1.75 for premium at the lowest, $1.92 at the highest.

BTW--drop to mid--you can't tell the difference.

Bob Dole is glad that you're chuckling about it...

Not that anyone notices, but the previous two bills had "gas rape" written in the memo field of the check. The most recent said, "Payment for Astrodome naming rights."

And unfortunately, mid-grade does not work. Down here, regular is typically 87 octane and mid-grade is only 89...

Bob Dole did a very good job at entetaining while his bank account was being emptied.

****a suggestion for the memo--"Plese, dinner, some drinks--I usually like to be courted before being bent over. And some flowers when the check clears would be nice also"****

Self-serve gas is now $2.09 a gallon in Irvine, Ca. Full serve is $2.59 a gallon.

Of course, it is all about good old supply and demand right? No one would dare make 40% profits and pay their execs hundreds of millions of dollars for upping the price of gas by conspiring to control the market right?

Oh yeah, nevermind that Ca adds 13 cents a gallon for road taxes and pollution control. Or that the Feds add 50 to 75 cents a gallon for roads and whatever...

It couldn't have anything to do with summer being here and prices being jacked up to take advantage of vacation travelers would it?

Naw... that can't be the reason...

Glad I have an '88 Honda Civic that gets 40mpg...

Fly, I passed an Arco station in Garden Grove this after noon where gas was $185.9 for regular.

Thought we could re-hash this...
 

Gas this week-end in the Columbus area was $0.99 a gallon.
