For that matter neither would there be for FDR!
I find it bizzare how so many of today's Dems refuse to acknowledge this absolute fact.
Democrats of today have been overrun by retread hippie libs from a bygone era, and they are just too damned stubborn to admit it.
The only good news is that a recent Rassmussen poll has shown that more college students are identifying themselves with the Republican party and conservative values than ever before. They are rightfully pissed at watching today's libfucks try and destroy every tradition that has made this country great. So eventually the whole "Stop the Imperialist American","America sucks" idiots will be pushed to the ash heap of history. (thanks to Ronaldus Magnus Reagn)

I don't want to get into a war of words with you, but I feel that that is just preposterous.
Of the recent Republican presidents, history will be kindest to Ford and George H. W.
Nixon's rep appears to be getting a little better every year, and I believe that he eventually will get better overall marks than Reagan.
But today, our economy feels like it's about to go into a steep downturn (well at least to those of us who are self-employed).
And unless we get peace breaking out all over the middle east in the next 380 or so days, which is not very likely, historians will not be very kind to our current POTUS.

Ford? WTF? Reagan is already listed as a Top Ten by most historians. GWB has been hurt by his middle era failures in Iraq but if the general upswing continues, he'll be well-rated. The economy is stronger today than in the 1990's. LOL

I'm definitely making less. Higher gas prices, higher fees all around, and people either being cheap or just feeling the pinch too. I'm not exaclty sure, I would say easily $50.00 less a week for me, which breaks down to $2,600 a year. Im' being generous with my estimate too, last week, although a typically slow weekend was $100.00 off my avg. I would agree, self employeed are feeling a major hit in the wallet.I'll know for sure by April or May if this is permanent or just a temp. thing. Gas prices for sure, but the city just tacked on a new fee or tax, fucking lame. It's insane how much I feel screwed, the cab companies are about to raise our lease fees too.

So let's break this down.
Gas prices are costing you? I hear ya pdog!
Then why won't the Dems allow us to drill in our own back yard? Why have Dems stopped any, and all plans for new refineries? A new refinery has not been built in over thirty years! Why? Yep. You guessed it! Democrats have rejected it everytime it has been brought before congress. Let's not even talk about the 100's of millions of barrels that are sitting in ANWAR and the Gulf of Mexico just waiting to be tapped!
Then you mentioned fees and taxes, right?
Well, let's see, you live in San Francisco. So I know you, like myself in New Jersey, are dealing with tax whore liberal Dems that want every last cent that they can get out of you for the "greater good", right? Cab companies are raising their own fees just to keep up with the state taxes. Crazy, huh?
So I think the problems are rather self evident. Right?

I am happy with the job the governor has done here. Talk about exceeding expectations. That's a side note, but he has tried, and done a good job at spending. He cares about fiscal responsibilty and healthcare and education, not an easy thing to do.
Back to me!!!
Gas prices equal greed, more than anything else. Just like the housing market bubble and burst, fuel is also run on greed. And back to my industry. I wish i could blame this on a dem or rep. unfortunately to get there, I need to get past the obvious, street level local problem. It is a cash industry and greed and corruption abound, big time. The owners have bought and sold the board of supervisors and the taxi commision is just an arm of the police dept. and it is either corrupt to the core or just people who don't give a fuck. If they did, they would do something about out of town taxis trolling SF or limo drivers bribing hotel doormen, who then over charge unknowing tourist for rides. At least in theory a Democrat will create something, whetner it works or not, with the money they take. In my case, it's just a grab, nothing else.
I don't know how anyone can stay in Jersey with the taxes there. At least here, you have prop 13 to protect aging and retireing homeowners from insane property taxes.you do have lower gas prices, but you can't pump your own... It always seems to take forever to get gas there. Which time wise, costs some of us money!!!

And anyone who pays even a teeny bit attention to the Iraq issue should know we went to war there to prevent ANOTHER 9/11, not to bring them to justice FOR 9/11.
Yep, that's it, we had to hit Iraq to prevent another 9/11. After all, that's where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from . . . no, wait, that was Saudi Arabia. Well, we couldn't just stand by and let Saddam supply terrorists with weapons of mass destruction . . . er, no WMDs? Lemme see, oh, oh, I know, it was the close alliance between Saddam and Osama . . . huh, you say Osama and his religious fanatics hated secularist Saddam, and the feeling was mutual? Ah jeez, I'm gettin' a headache tryin' to come up with a coherent rationale to support the "prevent another 9/11" argument.
Let's try an explanation that bears some relationship to the real world. I can explain the Iraq invasion in one word of one syllable and three letters:
OIL ("Operation Iraqi Liberation")

Feej... it is the perfect example of how people are kept ignorant by fear. Until you see someone who has spent years having there gas pumped for themselves, try to do it themselves, you have no idea how ignorant the masses can be... then there's the rebels, who do it themselves. I remember a guy freaking out on my dad as a kid as he put the nozzle in, and started the pump. My Dad hasd to reassure the pimple faced grease monkey it was okay. I've spent 20 to 30 minutes getting gas in Jersey. And I'm taking about a place with like 4 or 5 cars getting gas.... Don't get me started on 4 way stop signs!
