Single issue thinking is not unusual, but often is not productive.

I am sure that the farmers who benefit from incentives to biofuels and wind generation disagree with you, because they now have a better living.

I am sure minimum wage workers will disagree with you because now they will make a better living.

As to gas prices, the government doesn't set those, unless you want them to elminate all taxes on gas, something I am NOT in favor of. Oil companies are setting the prices and Congress has been working to cut subsidies to oil companies that are gouging consumers while raking in profits.

I am very sympathetic to those who oppose Bush's fiasco in Iraq. But I am not sympathetic to people who judge everything based on a single issue. The result will be a return to MORE war AND worse conditions for working class Americans. I, for one, am more than willing to complement the Democrats for making life better for working class Americans even as I criticize them for not taking a stronger stand on Iraq. I also specifically was thanking the freshmen Congressional reps who by and large have been STRONGLY in favor of withdrawal. Failing to support them on that will weaken their positions. So I am happy to voice my thanks.

I do not believe in Republican and Green "either you are for us or you are against us" rhetoric. I am in favor of working with people and thanking them when I agree with them, and criticizing when I disagree.
