The token question.

Was I asleep in 08 when gas was $1.65?

From '01-'05.

Why not go back to 2001-2005 when gas was $1.65 a gallon? I guess I don't understand your "motivation".

Jeezus, Randy. There was a post about the price of gas:

So, how are you enjoying gas prices 107% higher than when Obama took office?

I demonstrated that the price of gas "when Obama took office" was at an abnormally low point on a trend graph, and also showed that gas prices were even higher than current prices during the Bush presidency.

The correlation that Obama Presidency = High Gas Prices was debunked. Shall I explain further?

Besides, the graph during Bush's presidency doesn't really make a case that prices were lowered while he was in office.

The numbers are appreciative.

Because that's the time period I selected when I made that graph.

Graph your own here.

I didn't do it for you. I did it for the numbers.

The numbers are appreciative.

Why start it in '08? Only the first 10 months were during the Bush administration.

It peaked at an average of $4.12.

Thanks for typing that on my behalf.

We all have our own personal reasons that make us vote the way we do. I'm just tired of hearing people say they're voting for Romney because he's a business man and will run the country like one of his successful business.well in that case, let's vote for Donald trump, he seems like a good business man, how about zombie Steve jobs? I think he might know a thing or two about running a business. I guess saying that he knows how to run a business can actually be proven which is more than anyone can say about his plan to fix the economy. Although I'm pretty sure magic is somehow involved and I'm not talking about the businessman who owns a chain of 24 hr. Fitness clubs....

That's only one reason I'm voting Romney. There's not one good policy Owebama can run on. Not one. He promised a laundry list of changes during his campaign, and has failed on about every one. For the first time in the history of this country, the government has not had a budget. For almost 4 years! He has STOMPED on states' rights', from health care to voters' right's, to illegal immigration. An ambassador of his is tortured, brutalized (and some reports say "sodomized"), then killed and drug through the streets of Libya. Four other's are killed with him, and Barry calls this a "bump in the road". Fucking pathetic.

It "peaked" there, not "averaged".

May the candidate with the best rhetoric , win.

No, dummy. That is showing that gas was averaging $4.12/gal at one point under Bush. You paid less than that this morning, didn't you?

The "107%" figure you posted was because of a price aberration at the time of the election in '08.

It "peaked" there, not "averaged". We paid less that $2 a gallon under Bush for his first 4 years in office.

[Jester]

Watch this to prove your point.

i put it on my facebook before i ever saw this thread. lol

Drilling moratoriums, refusal to allow drilling on federal lands, handing billions to Venezuela to help them drill however. Then you have the stonewalling of Keystone, the failure to approve new refineries. More?

Why do I vote for Obama?

The real question is why would I vote republican!

I am a minority. I am a Union plumber by trade. The majority of my family is "poor".

____________________________

Now, My parents make a 7 figure income, live in a 7 figure house, in 75034 and have 6 figures worth of vehhicles.

_____________________________

My Father put it in my head at a young age, that it made more sense to him to vote for the democratic party because it kept the family out of his pocket, although the republican party would be more beneficial to him.

_____________________________

Me voting for obama has nothing to do with skin color, although i will admit it was a proud day, and I did shed a tear watching a brown skinned man take oath. To be honest I voted for Hilary Clinton in the pre-lims.

Bill Clinton is really the only president I really ever stood behind, thus why i wanted to vote for hilary, and now that Barack is riding with him, I am voting for barack again..

_____________________________

If you think about it, when clinton was in office, we were all racing, setting personal bests, fuckin mad bitches, and having a good fucking time.

The general consensus of the board is that it hasn't been shit since 2004 and thats essentially when the dems lost control...

_____________________________

I know im not the only democrat on the board.. but i do laugh at people who do manual labor, who think a guy like mitt romney is looking out for them. And before you say anything about barack, read back about what i said about my father. I know where i stand in society. know where you stand

Ah, the "we all have stations in life and D is for the poor while R is for the rich", BS. And lol at manual laborers should all vote D. You drank allllll the kool aid.
