When will the price of gasoline and/or other motor fuels hit $5 a gallon? In spite of the fact that an estimated 80 billion barrels of crude oil was recently discovered in Brazil, you certainly can expect to be paying more than $5.00 per gallon for gasoline if Senator McCain becomes the next President of the United States of America.
For the Republican Party it will be business as usual within our Government. The elected Republican politicians within "The Congress of the United States of America" once again will deadlock that branch of our Federal Government when it comes to serving the majority of "We People of the United States of America."
President McCain will continue try to convert all of the Arabs of Islam into supporting Democratic Societies within each and every Arab Nation while our brave troops will continue to guard the assets of those huge multinational oil companies and try to support the Puppet Government that we installed in Iraq. By the way, our Government seems to have forgotten about bin Laden, which is the reason why we sent our troops to the Middle-East.
I suppose that those Republicans believe that the extra tax revenue that those oil companies will pay as a result of their record profits will pay for the cost of the two wars that we are currently waging in that part of the World. Actually, the citizens of the Western World are paying the cost for those wars. Only a fool would believe otherwise.
In the meantime, thousands of American Citizens are losing their jobs as a result of the depressed economy within the United States of America while the price for everything that keeps "We People" healthy and alive continues to rise higher than a kite in a hurricane. The huge increase in the rate of inflation is due mainly to the increases of fossil fuel prices during the last few years.
A record number of people lost their homes or are about to lose their homes as 490,000 jobs vanished from our Country in one month, due to our very poor economy and the fact that those huge multinational corporations continue to build new factories within other Countries and close the old factories that are located within our Country. People need honest employment and a resulting income that will allow them to stay healthy and alive.
Violent street gangs continue to victimize honest citizens while the number of crimes being committed continues to rise. Illegal immigrants continue to add to the total of the estimated 12-20 million illegal immigrants within our Country who are doing who knows what to our citizens.
Tons of addictive, deadly and illegal drugs continue to find their way into our Country without the slightest interruption of supply, while harmful foods and other products continue to flow into the United States of America.
That has been and continues to be the Status Quo and the record of the Republican Party and its supporters, since the people within that party were elected to many of the Public Offices within our various Federal State and Local Governments. I myself wonder just which side are those Republicans truly on and do support. Something is clearly wrong somewhere. Who did you vote out of Public Office in 2008?
