I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Ignoring the slight dip, it appears to be leveling off.

It was pretty level last year before the jump early this year.

You ruined your credibility as you left out:

"Baby Bush"
"RWRE"
"Murdochian"

Your credibility was ruined when you characterized Obama as an "empty suit" from Day 1 and continue to insist he is my "political messiah."

I grew up in this state and will never take anything the oil industry says at face value.

What is it about the oil industry that allows it to suck the brains out of many of its otherwise intelligent and politically diverse mid-level and lower level employees?... putting all their political eggs in one basket.... and when you have a hardline industry agenda that decrees the EPA should be destroyed and dismantled rather than pursue arguments of reform and avoidance of "unintended consequences," and an industry that routinely buys congressmen to loudly proclaim global-warming/climate change to be a "hoax".... well, geez... I wonder why the citizens who live in states that aren't highly influenced by oil-based oligarchies have a distinct dislike of the modern-day petroleum industry and the government subsidies rubber-stamped by the "small-government" Republicans that support it?  Buehler?  Buehler?  

Your oil-based political views validate my opinions.

Can't blame him - I supported each of the companies I worked for in the industry - and will do so again, if I get back into it.  Don't forget - his company sells to the industry.

However, supporting the company doesn't mean I have to support the insanity of gutting the EPA that has occurred in the last 25+ years.

It's often couched in terms of liberty. Of course, it completely flies in the face of libertarian thought, not that the post-Randists would understand that. Not only do polluters trample on other people's property rights, laissez-faire capitalism guts the purpose of government in their world view by abdicating government's responsibility to prevent aggression between its nationals. What do you expect from people who refuse to acknowledge that corporations, being creations of the state, can somehow have rights other than those specifically granted by the state?

The 47% I think Romney was referring to. See if you can find soccerboy:

You can see Jamie Dimon's donkey rather clearly in that shot.

I wasn't part of this picture. What vantage point did you have when you located Dimon?
