Is it a surprise to anyone that the most successful U.S. company in history over any three month span is the 4th quater Exxon-Mobile of 2005? Record gas prices coupled with the coming of the cold season has catapulted Exxon-Mobile to the greatest take home of any U.S. company in any quarter in history. For all of my conservative buddies who are reading this blog and not the voice of the democratic part, Al Franken (???), I offer this:
Political party that received the most amount of money from "big oil" in 2004?
...and the winner is...The Republicans!!!! A not-so-shocking 4-to-1 margin over the Democratic Party.

Mistaken Identity
Are we so naive as to believe that all liberals ought to be painted with the same stripe? How would you conservatives react if I assumed Arlen Specter, Rick Santorum, and John McCain were cracked from the same mold simply because they are part of the same party? John Kerry and Theodore Kennedy have called for a filibuster against Amuel Allito; however, over the weekend, Barack Obama joined Charles Schumer and Harry Reid in denouncing the filibuster as a legitimate maneuver. These Senators have argued that if this nominee is worth filibustering, they ought to have done a better job convincing the American people. Conservatives ought to remember that there are well thoughtout, moral, hard-working men and women on the other-side of ideological spectrum. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060129/ap_on_go_su_co/alito;_ylt=As7HkRdGU02gw2_601gHW1us0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3OXIzMDMzBHNlYwM3MDM--
