Ad pours gasoline on Bush
Edited on Fri May-28-04 06:47 AM by Skinner
Detroit Project Action Fund spends $100,000 to run spot

By GABRIEL SNYDER


HOLLYWOOD -- Seeking to politicize gas pumps, Laurie David and Arianna Huffington will unveil an ad today meant to blame President Bush for high gas prices.

The Detroit Project Action Fund will spend an initial $100,000 to run the spot, by Scott BurnsScott Burns, in L.A., Gotham and D.C.

Founders of the Detroit Project include David, Huffington, Lawrence Bender and Ari Emanuel. Last year, the project aired ads that argued foreign oil dependence helped fund terrorists.

Of the latest ad, David said, "The central message is that all this talk about what's happening with gas prices can be directly connected to the Bush leadership's oil policies."

A poll by Gallup for USA Today and CNN found that a majority of people said they would drive less to save money on gas, which has hit a record national average of $2.05.

1. A Good Line, Ma'am
And the twenty percent who blame the war in Iraq, and the twenty percent who blame greedy oil men, probably associate those things with the criminals of the '00 Coup in any case....

"How DARE they drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud of the Saddam Hussein's torture prison!"

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

2. I don't think it is fair to blame Bush for the gas prices
or 9/11
or the war in Iraq
or apologizing to the Chinese for knocking our plane out of the air and holding Americans hostage
or a tax break that doesn't make sense
or reversing 30+ of making sure we have clean drinking water or clean aie
or the lie that is his "bio"


IT'S NOT HIS FAULT!!!!!!!!!!! He is only the leader of the only superpwer left on Earth with a party majority in both houses a majority on the highest court in the land a lazy complacent whoreish media and an apathethic domestic public.

3. Detroit should be P!SSED at Bush. GM, Ford....
the BIG TWO US car companies are making up ground on imports because of SUVs. Not saying I support driving these gas guzzlers, but those big rigs are precisely why GM has been doing better. The big gas prices have caused people to slow down pace of buying those SUVs.

Besides, car companies and other manufacturers purchasing steel should still be very angry at the protectionism of a so-called "free market capitalist" when he slapped tarriffs on foreign steel because our companies aren't efficient enough to make a profit and he thought he could keep Ohio and Pennsylvania votes.

THOSE industries should be funding getting him the HELL out.

4. CEO of Exxon
That murderous bunch of Prince William Sound despoilers, Exxon, agrees * is to blame for high oil.

The cause of the high oil, says the CEO: Political Uncertainty in the Middle East.

Well, sheet, who has destabilized the Middle East? bush

Clinton had things going so smooth gas was less than a buck! Exxon blames *, so do I.
