Good Lord! Where do they buy their olive oil? We buy ours by the gallon and never pay any where near $50!

The real fun comes in winter with oil prices. Natural gas prices go up to to keep them company.

“It’s a bad period for the president,” said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted the survey with Republican Bill McInturff. Hart attributes Bush’s problems to “one part the economy, two parts Iraq, and one part everything else.” In fact, he is somewhat surprised that Bush’s ratings didn’t increase slightly after the London attacks. “I am sort of surprised we don’t see more a skew toward rallying around anti-terrorism.”

I am surprised too I thought his numbers would
go up because of the supreme court process and
5% unemployment number would be logical too..
but the American people are stretched and stressed. They also want leadership and the
straight scoop.

 

Anti-Bush protester sues HPD officers over arrest in 2004
Filing contends poster-carrying demonstrator was exercising rights
By HARVEY RICE

A man arrested in downtown Houston last year for carrying a sign criticizing President Bush filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday, accusing police of violating his free-speech rights.

Chris Kelly, 43, is suing officer David Weaver, 37, 10 unidentified officers and an unidentified supervisor for arresting him and issuing a misdemeanor citation listing his offense as "Carrying a poster bearing the legend 'No more Bush-it.' "

Kelly, who said he was a salesman before becoming disabled, said Wednesday that he was surprised the officers appeared unaware of the constitutional right to free speech.

"I thought that police officers would be the first ones instructed on understanding that this is one of the gifts our country gives us," he said.

Police spokesman Alvin Wright said Weaver could not comment because he had not been served with the lawsuit.

Kelly, represented by the Texas Civil Rights Project, accuses the officers of handcuffing him and confiscating his cardboard sign on Oct. 18 near the 400 block of Main.

Four officers made the arrest in view of scores of baseball fans, many carrying signs supporting the Astros during the team's playoff run, the lawsuit states. As a supervisor watched, officers handcuffed Kelly, put him in a police car and drove through downtown before releasing him without explanation, the lawsuit alleges.

A municipal judge, with a prosecutor's concurrence, dismissed the charge after Kelly appeared in court. Weaver, who signed the citation, did not appear, Kelly said.

Jim Harrington, director of the Texas Civil Rights Project, said the city was not named in the lawsuit because a police supervisor said in a TV interview at the time that officers erred in making the arrest.

The lawsuit asks U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt to declare that Kelly's rights were violated under the U.S. and Texas constitutions.

Kelly said he brought the lawsuit "so that I and other Houstonians can feel free to express our political views about our government without the threat of assault and arrest and bogus prosecution by the police."

Harrington said Kelly's arrest was part of a wider pattern in Texas of suppressing protests against the president.

He said the city of Crawford agreed to a $43,000 settlement in May for jailing five protesters two years earlier as they headed to Bush's ranch near Crawford to protest the Iraq war as the president met with the Australian prime minister.

In a case pending in Travis County state court, anti-Bush protesters are suing Austin police for barring them from crossing the street to protest in front of the Governor's Mansion in 2001, but allowing pro-Bush demonstrators to do so, Harrington said.

If more anti-bush people are arrested and put away this should really bump Bushes approval rating.

 

Public Losing Faith in Bush,
But Not in the Iraq War

Poll Shows President's Credibility Is Slipping,
but Americans Want to Stay the Course in Iraq

Just 41% of Americans give the president high ratings for being "honest and straightforward," while 45% now give him low marks. Diminished perceptions of his credibility are especially unwelcome amid the furor over top strategist Karl Rove, shown in recent days to have told a reporter of Valerie Plame's CIA employment notwithstanding earlier White House denials that he had been involved

The good news for pro Bushers is that polls don't mean a thing. We are the winners and the liberal slime are the losers.

 

And this is from the Wall street Journal...


Thanks Rocko ..and about bush and freedom of
speech protests is an outrage...bush has always
had staged events that are more about marketing
and p.r. than a real cross section of America and
when one person threatens that..they get a police escort out...that my fellow Americans is the bush culture.

 

Bush is not in charge of the Houston Police Dept.

Gas prices are going up all over the world at this time, principally because of huge demand in China.

Gas prices in the UK are currently $5.64 gal
Gas prices in Germany are currently $5.29 gal
Gas prices in Hong Kong are currently $5.62 gal

Certainly Pres Bush can be criticized on various issues, but for things that are beyond his control?

 

So , are you saying that George Bush's influence has no effect on the Houston Police ? The effect of the ill planned war in Iraq has not caused gas prices to go up ?

Well, is Teddy Kennedy responsible for any protestor who might be arrested in Boston? I'm sure Ted has more important things to attend to, and so does Pres Bush.

As far as oil prices go, Iraq was producing only small quantities of oil before the war, so any price increase can't be attributed to that.

In 2004, China passed Japan as the world's second-largest consumer of oil. It uses an average of 6.6 million barrels of oil every day –about twice what it produces. Its oil imports doubled between 1999 and 2004. This is the main reason gasoline prices are rising everywhere.

 

And so it goes the bush culture being enabled
day after day...when will people open their eyes
or even study this mans business past


quit!enabling a dysfunctional CEO

 

In war, commodity prices always rise. How can you have deaths day in and day out in large numbers in a very bloody war and expect to live in a prosperous environment at home with no ill effects from the war? In other words, you can't have guns and butter, and you never have been able to have guns and butter during a major war. Somebody pays in blood for freedom--political or spiritual. Jesus shed His Blood to pay for sin; our troops are shedding their blood to pay for freedom.

Not unless you are a war profiteer...thanks you
just made some major admissions but still apologizing for a culture that does things on the
cheap and then steals but then spends like spending will soon be going out of style..bottom
line bush is not leaving this country like it
was first handed to him...and now lets here the
lame excuse about war and the tax break for the
wealthiest.

 

See, you are worried about you and not about victory in the war.

It's all a coincidence isn't it. One coincident after another.Don't take off those blinders NiteShift, you might see something very revealing about the Prez that you won't like and then you will become disinchanted like the rest of us. But take heart, our side won the election. at least we have that to brag about.

And our side won the election.It didn't make any difference how we did it just so long as we won. Doesn't make any difference what the cost will be in integrity, lives or money we won and the those stinken liberals lost.

 

Liberalism just doesn't work. It never did. We tried it for 70 years and still have a lot of it. It no longer commands a majority on election day. Call me cmg. It wasn't me that started this war--it was Islamofascism. They would cut your head off, Rocko9, if they could just because you are an American. Don't move to the Arab League. It's a trap.
