The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Have to slam on Hillary for a moment. She has called for an investigation on the rapid rise of gas prices. Wow, that truly demonstrates some hard hitting plans as President.

Sheesh. It isn't hard to figure out.

Middle East instability. Weak dollar. Increased demand for oil with no increase in production by OPEC. Decreased American oil production. Limited refining capacity.

And it seems like some sort of eerie omen that the horse Hillary picked at the Derby was euthanized on the track. Along those lines, PETA is outdoing itself, saying that the jockey on that horse should be suspended from racing. I am certain there is no one who feels more sick about this than the jockey. Certainly a sad thing for that beautiful animal to have to be put down, but there was absolutely no sign that the horse had any distress whatsoever until the finish line was crossed. I don't know much about horses, but I don't think a horse with two broken ankles is going to be able to continue running because the jockey smacked his butt.
