Sometimes I wonder why I get so many scam calls, emails, etc, because they're so obvious and you'd have to be so incredibly stupid to fall for them, so what's the incentive to even bothering to send them out to everybody. Then I read the line "being a smart man like he calls himself" and it all makes sense.

You think gas shooting up to $5+ a gallon isn't going to be a huge issue for the GOP heading into November?

I think that is a huge loss for Dems. Massive long-term loss. Pointing out the price of gas is trying to cope with that.

If I were China I'd attack Taiwan now. We have zero defense posture outside of one carrier strike group in the Pacific. We've taken out massive amounts of needed munitions in Iran.
