Did anyone hear what Hillary has been saying about the GasTax Holiday since tuesday?

[Johnny__Motown]

Me either

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. 0.

Not much interest in that scam, eh?

[Johnny__Motown]

2. Proof she never cared about giving the working class a break, just trying to trick people for votes

[redstate_democrat]

3. Gas Tax? What Gas Tax?

I guess Panderbear is done with that bit and has now moved on to full on Southern Strategy tactics.

[4themind]

4. What about the "Poverty Czar"?

still trying to find out more info on it, since she mentioned it in a speech a month ago, can't find it on her website either.

[jgraz]

Or the $5000/child payout?

She's practically Bushian with these random promises.

[NewHampshireDem]

5. Where's my $30?!?!!?

And why aren't HRC's supporters pushing for it? Last week, anyone who opposed it was sentencing children to die of starvation. This week? 'Screw 'em.'

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Probably already pumped into your gas tank.

Like the rest ours.

[Johnny__Motown]

18. I thought their one cherry picked 8 year old study said it returned 40% to the taxpayer

so it would be more like seventeen bucks

[BklynChick]

6. nada.

[NanceGreggs]

7. I thought she'd openly abandoned the idea ...

... earlier this week (after she'd been called on it by economists, etc.), on the basis that "Bush would veto it anyway, so ..."

So why did she bring it up in the first place, if she knew he'd veto it?

:shrug:

[Johnny__Motown]

9. After she said she would not listen to economists and that it was "elitist thinking"?

[NanceGreggs]

21. Yeah.

I stand to be corrected (or I'll be corrected sitting down, if I have a preference), but I thought I'd read this on DU earlier this week - that she'd dismissed the whole idea because she "knew" Bush would veto in the end, so what was the point of pursuing it.

Which, of course, begs the question as to why she brought it up as a viable idea in the first place.

[Johnny__Motown]

22. I may have missed it, I took 4 days off from DU, the whole IN/NC thing was to intense for me

[cliffordu]

10. I'm thinking once a pander bear always a pander bear.....

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Grasping for straws comes to mind..........

The idea didn't fly early-on, so it's on to the next attempt to gain traction, I guess.

[cliffordu]

8. Right, Poverty Czar, gas tax rebate......

Is she medicated?? I understand there are some sleeping meds that can cause some problems with perception and intellectual functioning....

This is not a troll. It DOES seem awfully weird that she dumps these quick fixes this fast....

[Johnny__Motown]

11. She pandered to Indiana, it didn't work so now she is going racist for southern states

I don't think she believes this racist crap any more than she thought the gas tax would help anyone. But she will use it to try and get votes anyways

[NewHampshireDem]

12. For the first time, walking away from my computer actually made me angrier!

Now wait a second--

I want some answers.

All of the poo that was flung at us for a week (or longer) about being 'elitists' because most of us knew this was a bad idea--and now "poof".

Gone.

Forgotten.

Where's *my* apology for that?

Naw ... I don't want an apology, but some people are gonna have to look at themselves really hard in the mirror after doing the keyboard commando thing here and then letting HRC drop it like it never happened.

[Johnny__Motown]

15. I agree, we all took a lot of grief for being honest about that issue. Now all our attackers are

silent

[speedoo]

13. Hillary's too busy, playing Strom Thurmond.

Oh wait....

Strom Thurmond was a democrat for a long time.

We can hope, can't we?

[Raine]

14. chirp, chirp...the sound coming from Hillary on this..

a losing campaign pandering issue goes up in smoke :nuke: :rofl:

[JBoy]

19. Last I heard she had thrown in the towel on that. Too hard, because Bush would veto it.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080506/pl_nm/usa_politics_clinton_tax_dc

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton admitted on Monday it would be tough to lift the federal gasoline tax this summer as she has proposed because of a likely veto from President George W. Bush.
------------

Apparently the subject had served it's purpose.

[AllentownJake]

20. She used it on Wednesday

in the speech she got booed in...than she changed her speech again....I think it now includes praises for the white race over and over again.

[TragedyandHope]

23. Reminds me of this
