About the Gas Tax
Edited on Mon May-05-08 06:55 PM by Jake3463
If this is such a winner with the regular guy. When it doesn't pass the Senate or House because democrats are going to oppose it because its an idiotic idea and McCain sits there from August to November and says the Democrats cost you your gas tax, what will be our response?

Thanks Hill for giving McCain's stupid idea credibility.

1. Good point.
I think that may be Hillary's plan. She is in it now to destroy Obama's chances in November so she can run again in 2012!

3. Ethereal subquestion: Why bother promoting something that you know won't pass?
Doesn't it make you look weak when an idea you championed fails? Sounds like a short term gain for a long-term loss.

4. Not when you can
point to somebody else and say they did it. Vote for me and I'll fix it.

7. interesting point. Just another way Clinton will make a weak president
no real leadership, just pandering. When push comes to shove, she shows how she's not that mythical fighter that people think she is.

6. Why not offer every American a truck full of $50 bills....
...if you just want to make them feel good?

It's pandering for votes - nothing more, nothing less.
