Vote Gilmore if you want lower gas prices

Gas prices must be further reduced by a commitment to drilling as well as alternative energy. Jim Gilmore as our next U.S. Senator is committed to responsible drilling to the maximum extent along with
alternative energy development, not to mention lower taxes to spur the troubled U.S. economy.  Mark Warner, though, can’t commit to anything but “exploration” which won’t do a thing to reduce our gas
prices. But of course, Warner can’t be trusted to do anything but raise taxes like he did as governor (though he promised over and over he wouldn’t). 

George Bush the senior lost re-election for breaking his “Read My Lips: No New Taxes” pledge; Mark Warner shouldn’t be elected to anything else either. On the other hand, everyone knows and trusts
Jim Gilmore, so Jim should represent us in the U.S. Senate where he will lower our gas prices, lower our taxes and get our economy back on track for our families. If you want lower gas prices then your
choice is quite clear on Nov. 4 — vote for Jim Gilmore for U.S. Senate.

GSU, is Clinton running for election this cycle?  Boy, I wish he was but the only names I see are Bush/McCain and Palin under the Republican banner, and I suspose Gilmore will get a few votes and then Obama/Biden/Warner, the winning ticket in Virginia. Go Blue!

Exactly , who cares if Bill Clinton waist his time running around the White House looking for an internship to satisfied his sexual fantasies , with no respect to his wife and daughter. How any orgies he organize in the white house when Hillary and daughter where in Bosnia “under hostile fires”. Over.

“<Sodom & Gomorrah lifestyle> That is the lifestyle that you liberals promote , orgies, prostitution, travesties, homosexuals ,lesbians, abortions and more.“

Humm, this is a better description for John McCain and his “and more” with Cindy when he was a married father with children.  And “and more” could fit the behavior of Sarah Palin and her shotgun wedding to Todd, or perhaps the sinful acts of her daughter. But, by golly, if they are Republicans - who cares!

“You might have noticed our nation is in financial meltdown”.  Not only financial meltdown , it could have a fast recovery , we have an economical crisis whit deep roots thanks to the Democrats that do not understand that any law that force give more to the poorest at the end hurt most to the poorest. The socialist position of Obama to move the economic forces from bottom to top where the work is the dominant element of the economy is just idealistic. Any socialist country that enforce that kind of ideology ends with an economy in ruins and Obama wants to lead to that , turns around to a capitalist economy , where the capital , not the work is the lead in the economical force.

Funny thing GSU, and I hate to waste this here where no one seems to care.

You might have noticed our nation is in financial meltdown. The Talking Heads are saying this is because American’s have too much consumer debt, living far beyond their financial means. See, no political stones tossed there. Just a fact.

The government tells us we must learn to live within our means, reduce our debt and create savings for emergencies. Again, no stones tossed.

So what does our government do? Our government lives like drunken sailors on port leave for the first time is six months.

A basic difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party is, while we all applaud stabilized taxes, is the Democrats understand you need tax dollars to sustain programs.

Gilmore’s plan was to cut the car tax but not cut programs these taxes supported. A nice bumper sticker, but a failure in real life. Mark Warner came in, saw the lack of funds for the programs, and put a freeze on the tax cuts.

President Bush drinks from the same cup as Gilmore. Promise the world, borrow to make up the difference (Federal Credit Card debt) and let the next chump in office figure out how to pay for it.

This country is being driven into the ground by liberal Republicans and we need conservitive Democrats to return this country to the balanced budget of President Clinton.

If you want to live a live of credit, do so within your own family. Don’t ask my family to support the Republican Sodom & Gomorrah lifestyle.

“one-trick-pony call of “NO CAR TAX”, which of course, we are still paying.” Yes Thanks to Warner and Kaine that decided to keep the car tax. So please raywilliam do some research.

I suspect Gilmore’s way of reducing gasoline prices is the support the John McCain proposed $3 BILLION tax cut for Big Oil.  As if their current record prices are not enough.

There are oil leases out there ready to start drilling on today. We do we need new leases when they’re not using existing leases. This is all a Republican smear/fear campaign.  All they have to run on this year is smears and lies.

This smacks of the Gilmore for Governor one-trick-pony call of “NO CAR TAX”, which of course, we are still paying. Gilmore brings nothing to the table in terms of ideas or results, yet continues to campaign with bumper sticker slogans. Let’s send Jim to a peaceful political fade-away let him enjoy retirement as “former Governor Gilmore”.
