What are your thoughts on gas prices?
It frankly boggles my mind that anyone would even consider voting Republican for a lot of reasons in 2008, but one of the biggest is the fact that gas prices have gone up so far so fast under this administration full of people with ties to the oil companies.
If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would it be?
To a nice house within NYC with
