At taxpayer's expense.  I think it is a shame that my family and I won't be able to take a vacation this year but I got to help pay for this guy and his THUDS and family and dog take one on a freaking $20 Million Dollar Farm. Now what's wrong with this picture?   Take the money and invest in America!!!!!!  My job goes to Mexico in September.
When he wanted you to vote for change, he wasn't kidding.   Nickels and dimes. And pay HIM dollars.

The news media would have ate the Republicans alive if they would have spent this much on a Republican President. But I guess it's okay now that we all have to help pay for this Democrat charade!!!

Got this e-mail today at work. These are some good tips,,,,,,,,,,,,

For all of you that hate gas prices. This is good information.
Subject: Maximizing your gasoline

New Gas Tips

I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline....Here in
California we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gal.. But
my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here
are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon.

Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose, CA
we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the
pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and
gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have
34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the
ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations
have their storage tanks buried below ground. The
colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer
gasoline expands, so buying in the
afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon.
In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the
gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum
products plays an important role.
A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal
for this business.
But the service stations do not have temperature
compensation at the pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle
to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has
three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should
be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are
created while you are pumping.

All hoses at the pump have a vapor return If you are pumping
on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank
becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the
underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.


One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is
HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas
you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space.
Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks

have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero
clearance between the gas and the
atmosphere, so it minimizes the
evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every
truck that we load is temperature compensated so that
every gallon is actually the exact amount.

Another reminder:

If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks
when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline
is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might
pick up some of the dirt    that normally settles on the bottom.

This is an e-mail I recieved from work today that made me sick.

If this doesn't bother you, then just delete the message. But, on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to every human in the country, including every representative in Washington, DC four times a week for a month.

Rush Limbaugh made a good point today about the $350 mil.  relief fund heading to Thailand. Like I predicted earlier, the Democrats tried to start some junk about Bush being tight with only $35 Mil. to start with.  Well, he should be. That's taxpayers hard earned money. There has to be a plan in place for whom will recieve the money and how. I appriciate the fact that he was wanting to be cautious with the money. But, NOOOO, the Democrats and other countries like France ( who really owes the US a debt of graditude) claims Bush is being tight and should up the anty.  That figures.

Now, there are Millions and Millions of dollars heading over to help. But to what???  What is the actual death count ? I remember 10,000, then 20,000, then at last count 150,000 ??? Hmmm Haven't heard a count in days now that all these Millions are committed for relief. HMMM!!! Hey, one Hotel owner in Thialand asked that the reporters report that his Hotel is open and unharmed. The news reports show mass distruction. But the the fact is it was only in the beach line area.  THE POWER OF THE NEWS.  I have a bad feeling that these Millions of our hard earned tax money is not going to be put to proper use. Maybe 50 to 60 % of it but not all. That's not counting all the Millions that the Red Cross and fund drives have collected.   I just have a bad feeling about this.

Some how, some way, the Democrats and Libs and reporters will find a way to blame all the deaths from the Earthquake out in Asia on Pres. Bush. 

Or better yet, they will ask why are we helping people that are in need from a disaster when we have homeless here in the US that need help??  Watch what I say ?  They are just waiting to see how much money is sent in disaster aid and then they will rip Pres. Bush apart.

My vote is in and I will be glad when it is all over with. I have sure learned a lot about the members on this site's values and Patriotism during the final few months of this election year. 

                                                    

I like the member debates here as long as it doesn't cause hard feelings which I feel it has. We all (republicans and democrats) have made good points here on this issue.  Everyone has their own opinion and since this the great old USA we are entitled to that. My opinion is this, Bush beans tastes better than Heinz ketchup. 

Depending on the way you lean, the following innormation could have a
bearing on decisions you make in November 2004.

     John Kerry favors.

     * Restoring voluntary prayer in the public schools:
     President Bush Favors.
     John Kerry is Opposed.

     * Mel Gibson & the making of a film about Christ:
     President Bush supports Gibson.
     John Kerry participated in Left's assault on Gibson,  suggesting
possible anti-Semitism even though Kerry had not seen the film.

     * Boy Scouts' belief in God and not allowing Homosexual Scout
Leaders:
     President Bush supports Boy Scouts' stand.
     John Kerry opposes boy Scouts' stand.

     * Asking for God's blessing on America:
     President Bush often asks God to bless America in his speeches.
     John Kerry attacks Bush for mentioning God so often.

     * Judges:

rights are derived from God."
     John Kerry insists on judges who support the ACLU's radical
anti-Christian, anti-God, anti-family agenda.
     John Kerry is insistent on blocking President Bush's
     federal judge appointments.

     * Overall Record:
     President Bush does not vote on issues before Congress but, based
on his publicly stated positions, would receive an 85% conservative
rating.

     John Kerry, according to the highly respected, politically-neutral
National Journal, rates Kerry the most liberal U. S. Senator in 2003
-more liberal than Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.
