Why are people ‘outraged’ over fuel prices?

Lets face it, the GOP along with their GOP Light Democrat lap dogs control this country at the behest of big business.

So I have little or no sympathy for anyone anymore.

People get screwed over and over again yet they send more of these clowns back every election year.



You got your BIBLE and you got you GUN so Shut the F*** UP!

( I know the innocent have to suffer as well but it takes a slap in the face to wake up, i guess this country needs a big one.)

2. No, we've been outraged over flipped elections,
this bogus war, etc., etc., but this is the first time 'the rest of the country' seems to have got on board.

5. I couldn't have said it better myself Blue
At the gas pump yesterday I saw where the person before me (probably driving a f'ing boat) had a price tag of over $50. To be honest, I wanted to burst out laughing. Forgive my lack of compassion...snarf.

10. premium is still 20 cents higher/gal than regular-
the same as it ws when gas was $2.00/gal...that meant that premium was 10% more expensive than regular...with regular at $3.00, premium is only 6.67% more expensive...so like i said- a better deal than ever.

9. Heck, I'm celebrating

Finally Mericans are talking seriously about conservation. Let's add some more taxes for gas guzzlers so we can give farmers, truckers, mass transit users and such a tax break on their fuel cost. Pigs.

I'm opening a bottle of Dom when it hits $5.00 a gallon. :party:

13. People are outraged because
the deal was that if Bush got to invade Iraq they all got cheap fillups, and he renegged on the deal. Remember all those "Kick their ass and take their gas" bumper stickers? Well, they didn't say kick their ass and charge up the wazoo for gas, and all those big, bad toughies are feeling rather royally screwed right about now.
