Listen to What They Say

Yesterday President Bush invited some lawmakers to the White Houses to talk about rising gas prices. What did he say? Bush said, "The prices of gasoline should serve as a wake-up call to all of us involved in public office, that we have got an energy security problem and a national security problem, and now is the time to deal with it in a forceful way..."

Did you see a solution in what he said???? It is all just talk. The oil companies are in the business of making money and the Republicans are in the business of taking money from the oil companies for their campaigns.

Ponder this bit of information from Open Secrets: The 2004 Bush campaign got $2,596,725 from people/PACs associated with Oil and Gas Industries. Do you think he is going to do something to penalize his friends?

****This just in....From the New York Daily News (Republicans eating their own!):
Republican senate candidate John Spencer was accused of being a bigamist by a top adviser to his leading rival for the nomination.

Ed Rollins, a longtime GOP operative working on KT McFarland's campaign, said on New York 1's "Inside City Hall" Tuesday that Spencer had basically maintained two families at the same time while mayor of Yonkers.

Spencer "runs around saying, 'I'm a good Catholic. I'm this, I'm that,'" he said. "A lot of Catholics in this state, that's bigamy, where I come from."

Spencer's affair with his chief of staff while he was married has been well-reported. Before divorcing his first wife and marrying the chief of staff, he and the staffer had two children. They later had a third child.
