Dont get me wrong, I like the guy, in fact hes one of the nicest persons ive ever met, I just told you he is my friend, but his views are so whacked out crazy, he has no sense of humor, cant take a joke, ect. God forbid you say anything PG-13 rated aroud him, he will simply leave the room, im not even kidding. Im not saying all Mormans are like that, but I could see this guy coming and knocking on my door trying to get me to convert to Mormanism. Mormons try to covertley get into the discussion of religion with you, challenge your views, then change them. Trust me, my friend does it to me all the time. The point is, Its stupid, and I dont have any respect for a religion that goes door to door trying to get people to become members. If I want to be Mormon, I will, I dont need to be convinced of that. Im not trying to push my religious beliefs onto others, and I dont want anyone doing that to me. And I do believe Mitt Romney would try to brainwash the American people, because thats what Mormans do.

But really Im not sure why im arguing this, Im voting Democrat for sure this election, because Im sick of the gas prices (among other things, of course)

1) Bond was pointing out how you misspelled Mormon... he wasn't agreeing with you. And not to throw stones, I misspelled it too.

2) You know a Mormon, and now your an expert on what all Mormons will do... wow, thats a special power you have. I guess if a black guy mugged you you'd think all blacks are criminals...

3) Voting democrat or not, its actually good to know the character and policies of the people who you refuse to vote for befre doing so. Otherwise, your decision is based on ignorance and apathy, and not thought or internal dialogue.

4) Really think that an INTERNATIONAL commodity, such as Oil, can have the the price changed by a President and not more powerful market forces? Do you know that America has one of the LOWEST level of gas prices in the WORLD right now? Do you know much of anything that you are basing your voted on??? Or are Democrats "good" and Republicans are "bad" and little else needs to be discussed?

This is why I become a prick when talking about politics, because of bigotted, ignorant and lazy views such as those presented here.

Favorite book and novel? Who the **** cares? I care about his views and policies, not his choice of lietrature. This is why idiots get elected, is because of questions like that from the media.

And KG, I think Bush is going to play a huge role in getting a Republican back in office, and it won't be because of anything Bush does, its because the Democrats can't seem to get their brains around the fact that Bush isn't running next election...

Yes, I honestly do believe that getting a democrat elected would lower gas prices. In fact, I would be willing to bet money that gas lowers by at least 50 cents, if not a lot more, within 3 months of a democrat getting elected. Bush and Cheney are in with the Oil companys. Higher gas prices means more money for them. Have you ever seen Farienheit 9/11? And, the fact that the rest of the world hates them (who can blame them), dosent help either. We need a democrat elected so the rest of the world will like us, plain and simple.

OPEC controls oil prices, not any oil company Bush or Cheney are "in with."

You do realize that "Farienheit" 9/11 has been debunked about 1,000 times, right? I could post numerous links to information debunking just about all of Michael Moore's films, but I've already done so about 1,000 times and you obviously have little interest in any information that dares to alter your world view.

Your logic is so simplistic, it keeps you from having to think for yourself, which is a habit people like Michael Moore love. So what I'm aiming this information at is not you, but anyone else who has an open mind who happens to be reading this thread.

1) The government makes more money the higher gas prices go, not necessarily the oil companies. Oil companies generally keep a fixed profit (give or take a few cents per gallon) margin on their product by gallon, while our GOVERNMENT taxes oil on a percentage on every stage of production (especially US oil) from when it comes out of the ground (US) to when it arrives to the shore (foreign). The TAXES on gasiline from beginning to end account for nearly half the cost of gas, if not more. Oil companies have been reaping profits on VOLUME because of the skyrocketing demand, not price increases.

2) I'm surprised Jason1 didn't start screaming about "HaLLuBorton" and Cheyney's money from the blood of innocent baby cripples. The fact is that Cheyney has not been involved with "Halleeburtin" for years and the reason why they get no-bid contracts is because they are one of the few companies in the world that does the job that needs to be done, and by consensus among objective minded people, they are the best at it. Does that mean no shenanigans have ever gone on? No, but that has more to do with individuals making unethical decisions than a vast conspiracy.

3) Jason1's logic is specious at best. He says that the rest of the world hates Bush and Cheyney, so we should too (to paraphrase). There are plenty of reasons to dislike Bush and Cheyney, but that is not one of them. I have plenty of them if you'd like to hear them. Did your mother ever ask you "If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you follow?" I know mine did, and the lesson I'm stating here is just as easy to follow. The rest of the world hates Bush and Cheyney, and they might have every right to, but the fact that they hate them is an idiotic REASON to hate them as well. If your going to hate someone, at least know why you do instead ofbeing a blind siccophant of those like Michael Moore.
