30 cents a day for three months. This is supposed to help me?

[me b zola]

If I were fortunate enough to have health insurance, this might help me buy one prescription for mediation. One prescription once--no refills. Then what? In the mean time, what would be the consequences to our infrastructure, how many people would lose their jobs due to the lack of funding to roads & infrastructure?

No thanks, I'm looking for a real leader. Someone who will work for real solutions. Hillary, quit pissing on me and telling me it's raining. Only an elitist would dare propose that with the dire economic situation that most of us are surviving in that 30 cents a day for three months would be something that would help those of us whose work keeps you fat and happy would be beneficial to US.

[DesertFlower]

1. it's a joke, isn't it?

the sad thing is there are a lot of stupid people out there who will fall for it.

[me b zola]

8. Unfortunately there is a large portion of the electorate who does not pay attention

This is why pandering works--or worked. There is a new sheriff in town and he's says, "enough is enough".

Talk about testicular fortitude (Hillary is trying to claim she possesses it), it takes some serious political chutzpah to take a stand against pandering when economic times are so tough. I can't say enough how much I respect and admire Barack Obama.

[Blondiegrrl]

20. Those same people who don't pay attention are the ones responsible for

Dubya's 8 years in the White House.

How depressing.

[DesertFlower]

33. i always have the tv tuned to MSNBC.

a few times i've had people come to do work in the house and i ask them "do you follow politics"? most times i get a "no". so how do they decide who to vote for? :shrug:

[washingdem]

87. Absolutely. It's scary. That's how Bush won twice.

[jasmine621]

70. It's 30-cents a day if you only burn two gallons of gasoline per day,

18 cents per gallon is nothing to some folks but a lot to others who must travel long distances every day. You would bitch if gasoline spiked 18 cents in one day wouldn't you? The tax holiday would be especially good for truckers because the tax on diesel fuel is higher. Hillary does not pretend that this would solve the gasoline problem but it sets a tone. Since Obama is all about setting a tone, positivity, and all that crap, seems to me he would not put it in such negative light. Lot's of folks thought the tax rebate was another political stunt but he was for that, and it definitely takes more out of the fed coffers. Obama's ideas about alternative fuels, lifting tax benes for the oil companies is old hat and more of the same Washington talk that started during the Carter administration and carried through to now. He is not offering anything "new" or "visionary" in this area and you folks and the media should stop pretending that it is new and different. In fact, there isn't one thing "new" or different from the old Washington that Obama has offered. It's all in the media hype. HRC has been saying many of the same things that Obama is saying now for a long time. People just didn't like to hear it because it was coming from Hillary. The only thing different that Obama brings is his stance on the Iraq war BEFORE is was in the Senate and had to really vote on it. Now his stance is no different than Clintons.

[Kittycat]

2. Clinton is turning us in to a Sally Struthers Commercial.

For the price of a cup of coffee (in 1974), you could help a poor family save 1/2 tank of gas for an entire summer - while our bridges fall apart, and the Oil Companies increase the price, because of increased demand.

[AllentownJake]

4. You beat me

I was typing that as you posted :rofl:

[AllentownJake]

3. You could

Save a child with that money...Sally Struthers was just on.

[MADem]

5. To someone living at or near the poverty level, that's a loaf of bread or a quart of milk for the

kids.

It might be simply a brulee-filled bear claw with that morning cinnamon cafe` at the smart little coffee bar if you're well off, but there ARE people out there who live on the edge. A lot of them live VERY far from work, because they can't afford the luxury of living close in. A lot of them drive cheapass, shitty, inefficient gas guzzlers, because they can't AFFORD a Prius.

[DesertFlower]

6. and that's the sad thing.

the poor will vote for hillary or McCain because that few bucks does mean a lot to them.

[me b zola]

9. If the Clinton's were so worried about those of us on the edge

...Bill wouldn't have bought hook, line, and stinker into the republican's wet dream-scheme of destroying the social safety net that was put in place by FDR. You don't remember welfare "reform"?

I do, and a whole lot of families suffered because of it.

[MADem]

14. I lived good under Bill Clinton. Not so good under Bush. So forgive me if I don't take your point.

[Exilednight]

16. Bush deserves much of the blame for the economy, but there's a trail........

of crumbs that lead to the feet of Bill Clinton. Maybe you heard of the bill he signed call the North American Free Trade Agreement? Hillary has even proclaimed herself the Senator of Punjab, India.

[MADem]

19. Oh, and you can follow that trail back to fucking Nixon, too.

Here's how it works--the President gets the CREDIT and the BLAME.

Life was good under Bill. He gets the credit.

That Senator of Punjab thing? That was a snarky remark by Obama, and it pissed off the American-southwest Asian community no end. He had to APOLOGIZE for it.

Do your homework before you make wildass comments like that.

[Exilednight]

23. Take your own advice and do your own homework before accusing someon else........

of being ignorant.

Sen. Clinton (D-Punjab) Joked That She Was Senator From The Punjab Region In India. “At the
fundraiser hosted by Dr Rajwant Singh at his Potomac, Maryland, home, and which raised nearly $50,000
for her re-election campaign, Clinton began by joking that, ‘'I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab
and win easily,’ after being introduced by Singh as the Senator not only from New York but also Punjab.”

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/politics/memo1.pdf

[MADem]

56. Here, read and learn. That memo was from OBAMA's people

http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/06/19/news/obama.php
Obama apologizes over 'Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab)' memo

:hi:

[tammywammy]

63. Yes the memo came from Obama's camp

"The D-Punjab reference apparently refers to a joke Senator Clinton made last year, at a fund-raiser hosted by New York-based hotelier and top Democratic fund-raiser Sant Singh Chatwal. 'I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily,' she had said on that occasion."

http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/jun/15clinton.htm


Hillary said 'I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily,' well before Obama's campaign came out with that memo.

[MADem]

65. Yeah, he apologized for NO reason at all. Sure. NT

[tammywammy]

66. 'I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily," said Hillary Clinton. n/t

[MADem]

67. Obama APOLOGIZES. nt

[tammywammy]

69. His apology doesn't mean she never said it in the first place

'I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily," said Hillary Clinton.


or that she said this

"“I am delighted to be the Senator from Punjab as well as from New York” said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and the former first lady of the United States of America."

http://www.sikhcouncilusa.org/article.aspx?article=evtdinner

[MADem]

72. Your team refuses to acknowledge the existence of context. I can't help you with that blind spot.

Nor do I care to.

You have a nice day.

[tammywammy]

73. No blind spot

She said it.

"“I am delighted to be the Senator from Punjab as well as from New York” said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and the former first lady of the United States of America."

Uh - the statement you just said is false. You ignore everything else and defend Hillary like there's no tomorrow. Hillary CALLED herself "Senator of Punjab".

37. How quickly they forget.

I guess they need a little more republican rule to appreciate the Clinton years.

[me b zola]

51. Well hey, *RichGirl*

A lot of people's experiences are not your own--like the the single mothers who were thrown off of the economic safety net through welfare "reform" from being the sole parent who at least could nurture their children to the sole parent who now goes to work, has absolutely no more money, benefits, nor way to get out from their situation, but whose children are now going unattended--fodder for predators of all stripes, and no longer in the position of being there to parent/nurture the child.

You sound like an elitist, RichGirl.

[me b zola]

52. How elitist of you

[MADem]

59. Yeah, I could afford to fill my tank, for twelve bucks. Real elitist.

Enabled me to afford that jazzy Maxwell House instead of the cheapo supermarket brand....

:eyes:

[me b zola]

77. Are you telling me that you drive a moped?

Good on you if you do, but that is not the average person in need of real relief. Single mothers will not be buying mopeds for transportation because they need to carry their children from point to point.


Twelve dollars to fill your tank? Oh please, dispense your elitist wisdom on us idiot poor-folk as to how we could fill our tanks for twelve bucks.

Yeah, I hear that providing energy is so much cheaper if a person has 20-100 thousand dollars to invest in renewable energy. Gee, elitist, I can't imagine why all of us are not jumping on board--we must just be lazy or selfish,stupid, or something. It can't possibly be that we are struggling just to fucking survive.

[MADem]

91. Nope. In 1993, when Clinton was prez, I could put twelve bucks in my car and fill it. NT

You know, your posts really sound a bit mentally retarded with your continued fixation on the word "elitist." That might not be your intention, but that is how you are coming across--like an easily distracted individual with OCD.

I know you think it's clever, replying in a baiting fashion and repetitively using that word, but what it actually is, is trolling.

It doesn't perturb, though. It just makes you appear, well, immature and moronic.

You aren't reading what is written, or if you are, it's too complex for you to understand, you are not contributing to the conversation, and you are creating a record here that doesn't cast you in a very good light.

Have a nice day.

Band aid on a cancer, lipstick on a pig, as useful as tits on a bull etc. etc. etc.

[me b zola]

54. Thank you, shadow

A lot of us live on the edge, and it is infuriating for these elitists to tell us how we should be grateful for the freaking crumbs that they flick off of their banquet tables for us as if we are dogs searching for scraps.

I am beyond angry at this shit.

[MADem]

61. Well, be a little more pleasant when you pick up those fares, maybe your tips will improve.

Is that how you greet your passengers? No wonder you live on the edge. I wouldn't give your surly ass a good tip either, and I tip well--I remember doing some heavy lifting in restaurants in my youth, and I generally commiserate with the service sector of the economy.

Maybe you should get into a gig that requires a little less customer interaction.

:eyes:

[shadowknows69]

62. Fuck you, I can't work anymore because of my ailing health jerk.

[MADem]

64. Well, I know people trying to raise a family of four on nineteen fucking grand a year in a high cost

area. I have a friend dying, slowly, agonizingly, of Lou Gerhig's disease with no fucking health insurance.

So right backatcha with the personal insults, there, sport.

Everyone has troubles. To some people, that lousy little thirty cents a day makes a difference between milk in the cereal for the kids, or WATER. Stop trying to insist that YOUR view is the only valid one, because it isn't.

Get over yourself. You aren't the fucking Oracle, though you like to pretend you are.

[shadowknows69]

68. Lol, you're such a child, making stupid references to my writing?

Don't flatter yourself, you aren't important enough to me to bruise my ego.

You do have a nice day.

[Mojorabbit]

90. I saw on tv

that suspending the gas tax for the summer would put 300,000 people out of construction work. Not worth it. Bad idea.

[MADem]

98. Not if they stick it to the oil and gas companies and get them to foot the bill. NT

[JTFrog]

102. What is with you people living in WHAT IF world?

Get them to foot the fucking bill then give the tax break, cuz it sure in the hell ain't gonna happen the other way around.

It's the Republican way to blunder forward with a plan full of holes pretending that legislatures and big corporations will let us make them pay for it later.

WTF is wrong with you people. Honestly.

Are you with us or against us? The only fucking US is Hillary/McCain/Republicans.

Suck it up and change parties already. Hillary has.

[MADem]

104. How offensive "you people" are. You can't debate, so you toss insults!

"Suck it up and change parties already." What a toddler-quality remark.

[JTFrog]

106. LOL!

Pot. Kettle. Black.

You've provided zero debate. At least I mention a few facts.

How do you debate someone living in a "What If" world? The debate goes something like this:

Q: What If we can't get the oil companies to pay for it later?
A: As it stands we presently have no way to recover those funds.

BUT What If we can?

Q: What If we get the oil companies to pay for it later?
A: As it stands we presently have no way to recover those funds.

BUT there is some slim chance in hell that those greedy republicans and oil lobbyists and corporations will let us take a chunk of those profits laying around over there that they really don't want anymore.

I'd have to be all the way down the rabbit hole to believe that there was a real debate to be had in that little What If world.

An exit strategy would be nice this time.

[MADem]

108. You toss crap and call it facts. You have "proven" nothing.

You have opinions, and we know what they're like. They are even more so coming from you, it would seem.

[chascarrillo]

95. Have you checked the cost of bread and milk lately? 30 cents a day doesn't do shit.

[MADem]

97. Two dollars and ten cents a week, on AVERAGE. More for those people who

can't AFFORD to live near their work. Like MANY of the working poor.

You can buy a loaf of supermarket bread for that, or a quart of milk.

I HAVE checked the prices. And the difference between a little milk a few days a week in the cereal or plain water is there.

Only people who have never checked the couch cushions for spare change make remarks like yours. A few bucks is a few bucks. Not "shit."

Of course, you can always buy a small latte with your savings....

People are tired of the same old DC politics. We need a change.

[truth-warrior]

like when he didn't vote for a 30% interest rate cap on credit cards because it was too high, yet did not provide an alternative?

leaves Bill Clinton who managed to turn both houses of Congress over to the rethugs.

DLC = GOP lite.

Al From is a cancer on the Democratic Party.

[truth-warrior]

32. Nope. Kerry and Gore tried to distance themselves.... hence the

losses. If Gore had taken Bill Clinton's advice he'd be ending his 8 triumphant years as president right now.....

[Hawkeye-X]

31. Uh, got proof that DLC won from 1992 to 2006

before Howard Dean stopped the bleeding?

[truth-warrior]

34. It's called Clinton.

Howard Dean is not the demi God you think.

He is going to drive this party into the ground.
Just look at DNC fundraising numbers. And remember, Obama supporters are NOT going to support the party, it is a cult of personality - not party loyalists.
Hope he can raise the big bucks, cuz not many $25K donations will be rolling into the DNC

[Exilednight]

36. Considering that it's illegal for a person to donate 25k, I agree with you on that part......

yet Dean's 50 state strategy managed to win us back both houses of Congress. Most of the money that is being raised is not being kept at the top, it's being funneled down to the local level.

The DLC is pissy because Dean is funneling money into Blue seats in Red States, and the DLC doesn't understand how this betters the party.

Even most Clinton supporters consider the DLC to be the worse thing that ever happened to the Democratic party.

[truth-warrior]

38. Um, you can donate 25K to the DNC....and those donors will

not be there for Howard Dean. That's why PARTY FUNDRAISING is so important.

[Hawkeye-X]

43. Uh, they want a winner - Clinton ain't a winner - Clinton's a crybaby

and until Clinton and DLC is tossed out, DNC will wait until June before they start REALLY fundraising - and bundlers will take care of DNC and small donations will come in like crazy.

[truth-warrior]

45. You better count on Hollywood. They are the only ones who

will bankroll the Democratic Party if Hillary's nomination is stolen.

[ima_sinnic]

103. "if Hillary's nomination is STOLEN" ???? ROTFLMFAO!!!

you people better suck it up, because the entitlement QUEEN lost "her" nomination the easy way, by being a total jerk. a LIAR, and a backstabbing scumbag, and also by being the SAME OLD BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON bag of lies, scandal, coverup, payola, backroom deals, and TOTAL BULLSHIT.

the DLC is a nothing but a bunch of greed-head republican "democrats" who care about one thing and one thing only: their own bottom line. you think you own the politicians and they are there to do your bidding to make the world safe for your predatory capitalism while you masquerade as "democrats." But the only tactics you know are smearing and distortion in pursuit of the almighty dollar. you are soulless hypocrites who applaud the invasion of a defenseless sovereign nation for no reason at all except that it is making you very very rich.

Howard Dean's candidacy was killed off by the DLC manipulation of the voters--you have your fucking nerve dissing Howard Dean, whose only fault is that he castrated the DLC--the same way Kerry was "installed," and the same way the "inevitable" Hillary-Bush-lover-Clinton was installed as the Queen whose feet we are supposed to bow down and kiss. You really have your fucking nerve saying Queen McClinton's nomination is being STOLEN --what a fucking bunch of crap! just HOW the fuck was it STOLEN?

don't you have an insider trader's meeting to go to?

[truth-warrior]

40. And that's why it's important to have strong DNC fundraising,

because only the DNC can collect large sums $25,000 and funnel it down... no one can give that much to individual candidates..... that's my point!

[MADem]

93. No, it isn't illegal. You can contribute Twenty Eight Thousand, Five Hundred, actually.

Here's the chart: http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/contriblimits.shtml

Personal limits aren't the same as national committee limits. Why do you think those DEEP POCKET bastards are so important? They're the reliable sonsabitches that support the party BETWEEN Presidential contests.

[RichGirl]

46. 30 cents will help you more than Zero cents.

This tax is not a lot, but it's something which is better than nothing. Of course, bigger, better things need to be done, but congress works so slow that it will take forever. This is a step in the right direction.

Also, it's small for the average person, but those effected most are truck drivers who deliver the food and merchandise that we buy. When they pay more for gas, the increase is passed on to the consumer. Without the gas tax, we not only are getting zero cents a day, but we'll be paying more for merchandise. You think that's better?

[Exilednight]

50. It's like throwing a band-aid over the incision after open heart surgery.......

all it does it create more problems than it solves. No money for infrastructure repair is a poor trade off.

[WheelWalker]

78. I don't want to argue anything. Seriously? Thirty cents has value, more to

some and less to others. If it means so little to you, send thirty cents a day to your local food bank. If you already give, give thirty cents more. Of course, it's easy for me to say. I usually have two hundred cents a day to spend on food. Each and every day. Then again, I can't drive a gasoline powered vehicle and afford that. I'm lucky enough to have had someone give me a 1982 Univega to ride to my job. And I do have a job. Despite my age, and a failing heart. Perspective, my friend. Truth is experiential.

[me b zola]

89. I live by counting pennies...litterally

Perspective is a powerful thing. Like the fact that as much as I am in favor of much of the regulation that unfortunately winds up constricting the economically less advantaged, that same regulation makes it much more difficult for the disaffected to survive. Poor people in the US cannot put up a cabin, cannot even freaking exist without being hassled by the powers that be.

Hunger & poverty in the US is differnt than it is in other parts of the world--all except for the harm that it wields. Yet, this is one of the things that I fear most about this neo conservative-neoliberal move to world domination--that they intend to make a banana republic of the US, that US workers will be no more or no less regarded as a worker surviving under slave conditions in other nations--because they intend to make slaves of us all.

You think that this is okay? I don't.

Which they won't.

[anigbrowl]

85. Exactly...consumers have shown they'e willing to pay, ergo the suppliers will jack up the price

Oh, not the same day of course. but it goes up 4c one day and 7c a few days later, doesn't take long. The gas station owner blames the supplier, the supplier blames the market, and then at the end of summer it suddenly pops up 20c or so on TOP.

[AZBlue]

88. And Exxon's 2nd quarter profits are even better than 1st quarter's!

Yeah, that's just what we need...

[osaMABUSh]

83. Bill Clinton dissed the $2,100 'stimulus' check

and said it would be a meaningless to the economy and eaten up by the housing crisis. I have this on video when Bill spoke at a campaign rally in PA. Now, Hillary latches on to this 30 cents a day rebate for three months and Bill supports it?

[davidpdx]

86. I agree this idea will do more harm then good

and is mindless pandering on the part of both McCain and Clinton. Hillary Clinton should have resisted the urge to agree with McCain on his proposal of a "gas tax holiday".

Does anyone not remember the bridge that collapsed in Minnesota? Where is the money going to be taken from to make up for the lost revenue for infrastructure projects? What happens when Federal funding for highway projects are cut and people are laid off? Is it just tough luck for them?

[FreeJoe]

105. Is Senator Obama's gas policy any better?

I agree that the gas tax holiday idea is a bad one. I'd be more impressed if Senator Obama wasn't proposing an extra tax on US oil and gas companies. That will raise prices for gas and cause us to import more oil. I'm not thrilled with high gas prices, but, on the bright side, they are finally getting us to take alternative energy seriously. High energy prices are our future...at least for as far forward as I can see.
