The Republican party supports giving subsidies to the oil industry with record breaking profits. Does anyone wonder what happened to the idea of campaign finance reform?
George with his "Bush 97%" rating went along with them. At least we don't have to worry about the oil industry. Check it out:
--Houston based ConocoPhillips' 2Q profits surge 65 percent to $5.2 billion
--Exxon reports 36 percent earnings increase
--Shell, Europe's second largest oil company, 2Q profit up 40 pct. on oil prices
IF my income had risen that much in three months (and had been rising dramatically in previous quarters) I would be dancing in the streets. (Note: Dancing in the streets is more fun than protesting in the streets.) I would be able to give campaign donations to keep those favors coming too. Unfortunately, with the high gas prices my household income is falling dramatically.
George you've done a great job looking out for Big Oil companies and subsidizing them at my expense. Do you even wonder why I'm not grateful? Do you understand why I find your "boasting" about how much funds you have for this election a good reason NOT to vote for you. Expensive, slick campaign TV ads are not going o change my mind. Are you even curious about what your constituents want George? Is this money from Big Oil more than enough for you?
