So Bush Can Blame Democrats for High Gas Prices, But Democrats Can't Blame Bush?
Don't Republicans always argue that Bush has nothing to do with the price of gas?
Where are the Republicans defending the Democrats then, since they have nothing to do with the price of gas?
Is this just typical Republican rhetoric/ double standard?
"There is no excuse for delay," the president said in a statement in the Rose Garden. With the presidential election just months away, Bush made a pointed attack on Democrats, accusing them of obstructing his energy proposals and blaming them for high gasoline costs. His proposal echoed a call by Republican presidential candidate John McCain to open the Continental Shelf for exploration.

So Bush Can Blame Democrats for High Gas Prices, But Democrats Can't Blame Bush?
I saw his speech and it's obvious that he places ALL the blame for high gas prices on congress (which has been in office for only 1 1/2 year). He did NOT even mention looking for or considering alternative energy sources. Carter warned us years ago, that we were putting ourselves in jeopardy by not conserving. Interesting how Bush didn't even mention conserving.
Reply:Yes, because thats where the blame belongs. Bush understands that the price of gas is attributed to the price of oil. And all of this is attributed to the laws of supply and demand. This means that would the Dems allow drilling offshore and in alaska, the supply of oil would increase thus lowering the costs. However, the dems wont sign on this bill and want governmental price controls. Which is what they have in europe...do you want 10 dollar a gallon gas?
Basically, the blame has to go to where its deserved.
Reply:So - Bush drills in anwr and off the coast. Will gas be less then? Who sets the price for gas? We have a lot of our own gas now so why do we have to sell it at such a high price - it makes no sense other than PROFIT. Greed is a terrible thing now a days. And it is funny that when the Republicans had control of everything for six years they didnt make everything perfect. They are big at laying the blame but dont do anything themselves other than take in profit for the rich.
Reply:1996 the Republicans got the votes to drill in ANWR and clinton vetoed it. The democrats had a chance to get in touch with reality today and told us that $4.5 a gallon isn't enough - we need to pay more.
Reply:It's an old tired game...
If only we had ANWAR we could have cheap oil forever.
Sadly estimates for US oil reserves we could tap into are around 21 billion barrels, the US is burning through 10 million a day and climbing.
Do the math.
Reply:yes it's just more REPUBLICAN BS i hope you have your BS DETECTOR ON because there are more to come from these Republican idiots
Reply:Well because THEY are to blame!! They have been holding up more oil drilling in Alaska and off the coast lines for YEARS now for their environmentalist agenda.
So it is their fault in many ways
Reply:there all full of crap!
Reply:Today I read in news that Ahmadinejad ( Iranian so called president) told that there is lots of oil in market and prices which we are paying in USA are fake,several days ago bush asked his Saudi friends to put more oil in market, what was the answer? it is more than enough oil in markets,what was the oil companies profit when oil was 2.50 a gallon?(quarterly) ,,,1/4 profit that they are making now with 4.50 a gallon!!!!!! hhhmmmm ,,who are supporters of bush ??and spend millions to elect him? oil companies,,, by drilling any where they want to, they can make even more profit,,,, who request to drill offshore lately?? bush, and what they say? if my bosses sorry if oil companies drill any where they want to oil prices will come down,!!!!!!!! if congress OK this Bill heyyy party time for bush and gang, if it doesn't pass, bush will make speech and blame others for oil prices,,,,,this game is going on for a long time, I believe we Americans are very smart people.
Reply:Actually he can attribute most of the blame to the Democrats and have a certain amount of validity.
Way back when the earth was cooling and Carter was President we had a problem getting the crude we needed to power this country. In my humble opinion Carter made the only really smart statement his entire term when he told Congress (and the American people too) being this dependant on foreign oil is an accident looking for a place to happen. What we are going through today is proof even a blind hog finds and acorn every once in a while. About oil dependence he was right.
The Democrats really had control of Congress then. They could pretty much do as they pleased. What did they do about the oil shortage? They did a few studies and minor 'pilot' projects into ethanol production. Sure you can get ethanol from grains. Ted Kennedy has known that since before he drove off the bridge drunk. But how many millions of dollars were wasted on these studies and projects.
The money isn't the important thing. It's the time we've wasted that is. Democrats did nothing to correct the situation all the way from 1978 to 1994. And the Republicans let them get away with it. I can see Democrats doing nothing after a year or two. They are too short sighted to see anything long term. They are too here and now. They 'd rather beconcerned with gay marriage, gun control, minimum wage, and lots of other stuff that don't really mean much to the economy. They'd rather grease the squeek than fix the axle.
But I really get mad at the Republicans. They are supposed to be better than Democrats when it comes to understanding what's coming down the road. When they got control they did not much better than Democrats. Minor changes in business tax code but nothing more.
Environmentalists (mostly LIBERAL Democrats) have legislation on the books that says you DON'T drill of the coasts and in ANWR because it 'might' hurt the animals. I just love how they put animals ahead of people. Ask me about the mussles in Lake Ponchatrain. But that is another story.
What I would have like to have seen Congress do any time in the last two decades is tell Enviros, 'OK you don't want us to burn fossil fuels, dam the rivers, or build nuclear power plants. GIVE US AN ALTERNATIVE! Give us an alternative that is cheaper and we'll run to it. Give us an alternative that is cleaner and we'll replace anything that you don't like. But until you have an alternative-- GET OUT OF OUR FACE!'
Both sides are at fault. But like Carter's statement about dependence on foreign oil was right. Bush's statement about this problem being more on the Democrats. He may be a Republican. And it may have been a pure political statement. But that doesn't mean the statement was wrong.
People believe global warming is real because of a .1 degree rise in temperature. Well I believe the energy cricis is real and I think it's been more the fault of Democrats than Republicans. But you know what? I don't really care who's fault it is. Who's going to find the solution. Maxine Waters? Dennis Kucinich? I don't think so!
You can blame storm and accomplish nothing( but waste valuable time). OR you can brain storm and work to a GOOD solution. Because like it or not. One day any oil we use won't come from underground. The problem existed during the time of Carter. Since then we have have Democrat and Republican Presidents. We've had Democrat and Republican Congress. And we still have the SAME problem. When will the problem be fixed? Isn't thirty years enough time?
Reply:Well the demo rats have been blocking us drilling our own oil for decades now. So who should get the blame? What about the 139 billion barrels of oil our own government just said there is on government controlled land. Ever hear of a filibuster the democrats use it every time a vote for drilling our own oil comes up. so don't play stupid.

Which is cheap on line tour or buy the travel agency in Bangkok?
hi, I will travel to bangkok on 19 jun and will let on 24 jun
I would like to take a tour around Bangkok that can show the most important part for example: city,temples, shopping, Floating Market, Rose Garden, the Ancient City, Jim Thompson's House %26amp; Palace, Golden Buddha Temple, Chinatown, dinner in the cruise, night live, like Calypso show, etc. Also Tiger temple and also elephant ride.
I was thinking to do somthing like this:
Day 1 (DAMNOEN SADUAK FLOATING MARKET %26amp; ROSEGARDEN)
Day 2 (CITY TOUR %26amp; GRAND PALACE, ANCIENT CITY
and JIM THOMPSON HOUSE)
Day 3 (RIVER KWAI %26amp; TIGER TEMPLE )
Day 4 (AYUTTHAYA)
I getting proposal arround from 300$ thru 600$ or more per person just for tour for 2 person. So i wonder to know if there is a cheap option direct in bangkok or is better to do onlinebooking. ???????
Which is cheap on line tour or buy the travel agency in Bangkok?
Thailand, Bangkok in particular, is one easiest countries in that area for getting tours set up.
In Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Pattaya you simply find the nearest travel agency and check out their list of tours. All of the tours you want are pretty common, tour companies go to these places all the time.
After you locate the nearest travel agency (there are lots of them) choose the places you want to see and the tour company will pick you up at your hotel and return you there. They are used to quick turnovers, choose the tour early in the morning and you may be able to leave that afternoon. Same for evening dinner cruises. Or you can choose a tour in the evening and leave the following morning.
When you leave on tours or anytime you leave your hotel for a while make sure you have some toilet paper in your travel bag, also good idea to have some of those paper hand wipes (wet wipes/wetnaps.) Some stops you make may not have paper or means of cleaning your hands.
Probably a good idea to wear a hat to shade your eyes and some sun block too if you are going to be outside a lot.
When you buy your tour in person you know you are not getting cheated, also you know if there are any "hidden charges" right away! Often when you purchase anything overseas using a credit card there are "other charges" added into the final bill!
Good luck.
Good luck.
Reply:Since you will msot likely have to take a flight transfer anyways I would reccommend booking in vietnam where the tours are offered very cheap, you will most likely go to the main tour spots in bangkok, and possible make a trip out to pattaya too, but they have many package options and are willing to book last minute.
Reply:if you can find online agency its best ..coz they may make more cheaper if you know them ..but its same u book online or go through agency ........

Reply:USD300 is about Baht9500, you could get cheaper online. Also, Day 2 doesn't make sense.
Reply:Sooooo - EZ - [ though I have never done it ] - but nearly every single hotel in bkk has a travel desk and they all have brochures for what I assume is the same tours.. OR - in the tourist areas, the streets are full of travel agencies who also have the same tours... You can book near anywhere and usually these kinds of things will pick you up at your hotel.. and the prices seem to be fairly reasonable too - - so, I would not even bother to book online but if you feel a need to do it in advance, you might contact a travel agent or the hotel where you are staying... I think the prices above that you mention are high - - but, well, I have a car, I don't take tours so I don't know for sure... but there seem to be no shortage of tours here.. and you are coming during off season too. good luck - great country.. have fun

Toss Up: Whos' more to blame for the Sonics' move to Oklahoma City: Seattle or David Stern?
When the owners of the Rose Garden filed for bankruptcy and it was rumored that the Blazers would have to move, David Stern immediately stepped in and said he was committed to keeping the team where it was. But now The Boss is simply letting Seattle go without a fight. He allowed the sale of the Sonics to a guy from OKC. The OKC Hornets were simply a test for the future move. Did Stern really want to save the Sonics? Is that a real way to end 41 years of NBA basketball in a major sports city? Then again, Seattle adopted a wait-and-see attitude, allowing new ownership to rally support for the relocation. They didn't even unveil a major "renovation" plan until it was too late. For a city home to Boeing, Microsoft, and Starbucks, they could have financed a new arena with just their pocket change. So who is really to blame? The Emerald City or the Boss?

Jonas Brothers, October 30th conert, are they playing with Miley?
On the Jonas brothers myspace page under upcoming shows a concert October 30th is on there for Portland, Oregon at the Rose Garden. I heard they were going to be the opening act for Miley or something, I don't really know. It never says anything about that on their myspace. I was wondering if anyone knows what's up with this? Are they just playing a few songs? Depending on how much the JB are playing I don't know if I want to go because I don't like Miley Cyrus.
Jonas Brothers, October 30th conert, are they playing with Miley?
Check jonasbrothersfan.com, I think it says there. Or ticketmaster under the best of both worlds tour.

Tat placement help pleasssse?
backround info.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_kno...
the Tibetan symbol has been described as an ancient symbol representing the interweaving of the Spiritual Path, the flowing of Time and Movement within That Which is Eternal.
I would prefer to keep it on the smaller side and have considered a few spots where I would want it but im not positive where it would look best. I KNOW I dont want it on the back of my neck though.
As for meaning my mom named me after a Tibetan Buddhist temple "Sera Monastery". Sera also translates to "wild rose garden" in tibetian, so I would like it to be a natural/dark bark color with some interwining vines and blooms.
Where?

Take a look at this one.
Got it a little over a year ago.
This photo is from when the ink was only four or five hours old.
Didn't really hurt.
Reply:I personally like the tattoos on the inside of the wrist. it hurts though. Also ankles are nice too. Another place you can get one is a little bit away from your hip like a couple inches down from you belly button and over a few more inches :)
