No gas in atlanta!!!!!

[southmadejd]

Does anybody feel my pain??? I hear Tennessee is pretty bad also. This sucks and my govenor has the audacity to say that there is no gas shortage in Atlanta. That it is just because people are panicking.

Well maybe so Mr. Sonny Perdue but tell that to the gas stations that have completely run out. I bet that rich prick hasn't had to fill a gas tank in a car in about 8 years. I really hate it when these rich politicians try to relate to the average middle class worker.

I am getting more and more fed up with the way things have been going lately.

Sorry I just had to rant for a little bit.

On another note my beloved Georgia Bulldogs looked like complete shit tonight....can the Falcons at least beat the Panthers????

Throw me a freakin bone God. JK

[stpete]

No gas? What the hell? Are you for real?

[J-Dogg]

lol, I'm telling ya, america is going down the tube. Gas prices at an all time high, and we are running out at the pumps?

We have a multi billion dollar war going on for years that we've all almost forgot is even happening.

Banks are going under, the goverment is trying to keep them stable.

Forclosures are at an all time high.

This all leads to disaster. We'll be hunting to survive and living like cave men in a few years. Either that, or we have to use our wepons and military to take over.

Give me a gun.

[southmadejd]

I hear you J-Dogg....but actually...foreclosures were higher in 1999, the media just wants to keep everybody absolutely petrified. I am 28 years old and I am just now starting to realize how full of shit everything is. Don't get me wrong....I am very patriotic(served 4 years in the marine corps and am currently serving my IRR time) and I love the US....just can't stand the selfish and hypocritical assholes that are put in charge to run our country.

And yes I am dead ass serious....Atlanta is out of gas....and so are parts of Tennessee. When a gas station does get gas everybody swarms on it like it is Jessica Alba's bare ass walking down the street or something. On top of that gas is about $4.39 a gallon even though we have a law here against price gouging. I am just sick of it dude....completely ruined my weekend because I can't go anywhere. And I refuse to wait that long in line for gas....they have to put cops at the gas stations with gas because there have been so many fights about people cutting in line and shit, I think I would lose my f-cking mind if I had to go in one of those and snap and kill somebody.

[KingTenderloin]

Im right outside of atlanta and have the same problem man. I waited in line and paid 3.95 a gallon. But im not mad a Sonny Purdue and i'm sure hes pumped gas in the last 8 years... If youre pal bill clinton wouldnt have vetoed an authorization to drill for oil in our own country in 95 then we would have plenty of our precious gasoline now and you wouldn't be waiting in line to pay 4.39 a gallon

[southmadejd]

Bro I understand you may like Sonny Perdue and you probably voted for him but we knew a situation like this could have happened and we did nothing to prevent it.

There is enough oil for us....they just are getting it to us so this perticular situation can't be blamed on Bill Clinton.

[KingTenderloin]

Im just sayin dude there wouldnt be this PARTICULAR situation if that had not been vetoed so I'll continue to blame clinton

[Voice of Reason]

.....

[firmechicano831]

that sucks man, hopefully things get better for everyone of us.

[KingTenderloin]

Ahhh yes this thread wouldn't have been complete without the blurry video of a train rolling through town with some sorry production text effects

[southmadejd]

What are you talking about King???

And just so you know, I also think Clinton was an idiot for that.

[gixxerboy1]

Im just sayin dude there wouldnt be this PARTICULAR situation if that had not been vetoed so I'll continue to blame clinton

part of the reason is georgia has stricter laws on what kind of gas can be sold there. So all the gas refigned here is made to georgia's standard. I read the ywere trying to suspend that temporarly to get more gas to the state

[PingPang]

tennessee is bad also. last week there was no where to get gas. Now gas stations will only carry 87 octane. nothing higher.

[VWbug66]

we're in definite need of change...we need a democrat in the house!!!

Now i'm not one to say republican's are stupid, but it's time for change, and we need that very bad!....but i'll say one thing, democrats pass laws for the average middle class, and republican's pass laws for the rich!!!!

IE=
not paying taxes on all ur money if you make over 92k a year...which all middle class dont!!! i think everybody should have to pay taxes on all your money like everybody else!!!!

[steadygaining1]

No gas in Charlotte for going on one week, still have some diesel though. On the news they claim some drivers are following the tankers in hopes of getting in line. Our big fuel baillout was on Saturday (they did some major trucking), it is all out again.

you're an idiot....not taxing the rich gives all the poor people jobs by allowing them to have more capital, rich people buy things that create jobs, the same is not true AT ALL for the middle classes. can anyone in the middle class buy something that creates ten plus jobs in a heartbeat? no they can't.....anytime a rich person buys a yacht boop ten jobs. People that don't understand economics really shouldn't be allowed to vote because that's the only way democrats ever get elected is by idiots

[binder]

move out of big cities. they suck anyways.

never had a problem with gas in the midwest.

to a point yes. But the middle class buying a lot of little things is the real econonmy. We the middle class cuts back that is felt alot more. And with todays economy even the rich arent running out to buy expensive things

[southmadejd]

Just a little bit of help, this site has real time updates on where to find gas in atlanta.

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23atlgas

Also they said that the crisis will likely last until Columbus Day which is Oct. 13th.

Sonny Just now asked Bush for oil.....what an ass.....and just going back to the fact that I don't think he has had to fill up his own gas tank for the last 8 years is the truth even though some other people don't feel that way. That ass hole can't relate to what we are going through. I wish I could slap him right in the f-cking mouth.

[KingTenderloin]

well first off
But if its turning in to a political debate im gonna have to agree with Ruhl except for the name calling....but anyways hes right most obama supporters sit there and say exactly what VW said "we need change bla bla bla" yes we need change but obama is not the man to do that....he offers no solutions to our problems he just acknowledges that the problems exhist, hes constantly changing positions not to mention he has no experience what so ever. Thats why i find it ironic that everyone attacks palin for her lack of experience, while their pick for pres has no experience, it makes no sense. Name one important decision that obama has made, one life or death, one multi million dollar decision that hes made and maybe just maybe you'll change my mind. But as for cutting taxes for "95% of americans" (by the way id like to see his math) and raising other taxes like capital gains tax and death tax (which is retarded all that money has already been taxed and now u want to tax it again? no sorry) is not going to work. Also I want the leader of our country to wear the American flag and not make it a point not to wear it. Not to mention he refuses to hold his hand on his heart during the pledge and natl anthem, not a big deal to many, but i find it wierd that he does that and wants to be commander in chief.

Dude that was one time that he didn't put his hand over his heart during the national anthem.....and he didn't refuse to do it, he just forgot.

I am not trying to defend Obama because honestly I am not too happy about either one of the candidates but that picture of him not holding his hand over his heart was just propaganda by the Republican Party to make him look bad. There are many other pictures out there where he is standing and holding his hand over his heart during the pledge and the National Anthem.

Only John McCain has ever actually fought for Americans. He has the perfect resume to be President and he should get elected. However, having said that, if we get this one wrong we are gonna pay dearly for it.

Good job, you countered the least important point in that paragraph...I dont care for either of the two either. I just dont think Obamas ready bottom line. It seems like being a former marine you would agree.

As far your post. Obama doesn’t have a ton of an experience. But allot more the Palin. And fact is Palin as VP could be president with McCain’s age and health factored in.

McCain has alot more experience. But experience making wrong decisions doesn’t make you a good president either. I don’t like either candidate. But I think if both had to make a call. Obama could look at the facts and make a better call then McCain could.

Don't get me wrong bro.....as far as character goes, it doesn't get much more admirable than John McCain and I am so appreciative of his service and the hell he had to through for the years he was a POW.

But having said that, I really feel as though he is very conservative and I believe that it is going to take someone with new and fresh and ********** ideas to make this country back to what it once was.

Now I am not saying Obama is the right candidate to do that but he is closer to being that candidate than McCain.

I do like how McCain wants to try and get things back to the Constitution and the way our founding fathers had envisioned America to be.

Did anybody see Whoopi Goldberg on the view reply to McCain when he mentioned that he wants America to be more like the Constitution wanted it to be and she said something to the likes of "well I hope you don't want me to be a slave again because that is how our founding fathers wanted it to be". I really had to commend McCain for not slapping the shit out of her. Like that is how he meant for his statement to be interpreted. What a dumb bitch.

Lol i just looked at that on youtube thats pretty funny, but yeah a dumb b*tch like that would say somethin like that what an idiot

[Strategus]

People aren't stupid. They remember that gas ran about $1.15/gallon when Bill Clinton was in charge.

Bill Clinton left the fiscal house in order, although I grant he made some mistakes like NAFTA and the oil drilling thing, and also not increasing vehicle mileage standards.

If you wanna give to the rich people so they can screw the little guys some more, then vote for the bailout.

Ooops...the politicians heard their constituents this time.

Working folks are getting sick and tired of stagnant wages and ever-increasing cost of living!

As for me, I've cut out ALL my discretionary spending for over a year now! I buy food, gas, car maintenance/insurance, and I pay my bills. If I want some clothes, it's thrift stores and yard sales. I don't have a mortgage, but I've been complaining about the greedy real estate agents jacking up the prices for their commissions for, like, the last 5 years. I put my foot down and refused to pay $350,000 for a house that's worth $150,000.

It's time to put a few regulations back in place.

We had a stable, growing economy from 1945-1970. There were definitely regulations about lending and there weren't any of these crazy unregulated financial istruments like derivatives and credit default swaps. Credit was tight, and people lived within their means. There was less "keeping up with the Jones's," less "me first" and more community support of schools, colleges, and small businesses.

As for the gas, let's just say that I prepared for this back in 2006 by investing in a gas-saving vehicle. My worst complaint about my car is that the tax assessor for my county won't depreciate it as quickly as he depreciates SUV's!

I have also cut back on my driving, and have not needed to sit in a gas line more than 1 vehicle deep, although I live in an area that is definitely affected by the gas shortage.

Check McCain's Senate record! This "is" the guy that we need in the White House now! Obama has been in the Senate 186 days! And has voted on nothing!! He is a slick talking politician with a silver tongue and its up to us to get this right! They say Palin has no experience, but Obama has much less the she does!

you honestly believe Palin has more experience then Obama?

[southmadejd]

I gotta agree with Gixxer man....As far as issues dealing on a national level and even international Obama has way more experience but just because he has WAY more experience than Palin doesn't mean he has a lot of experience compared to McCain.
