Pelosi To Protesters: "Can We Drill Your Brains?"

[khronik]

Last I checked the world market determined the price for a barrel of oil.

And yet Republicans all over the place are blaming taxes, and the fact that there are restrictions on where oil companies can drill, for the high oil prices.

We're in agreement. Congress has been more useless than I've ever seen in my lifetime; the Democrats got even less accomplished than the Republicans these last couple years, and that's saying something.

I've heard it said that it's best when the government is gridlocked like that; that way they can't screw up as much.

I have a despondant feeling that if a 3rd party can't even increase it's votes in times like these, America will be stuck in the system of the 2-headed dragon forever.

You know, if it was say, Hillary Clinton vs. John McCain, I'd almost certainly vote Libertarian. I did in 2004. But I really do believe that Obama represents a divergence from the typical Democrats vs. Republicans way of doing things. Even though Obama is part of the two-party system, he's a realist. I think he has the best chance to actually help fix a lot of what's wrong with our government, without throwing the country into disarray like a Libertarian would.
