Hillary still gas tax holiday pandering in South Dakota
As seen on CNN from her "rally" in Brookings, South Dakota. I wonder how much progress she made on her gas tax holiday legislation. :rofl:

2. She was choosing her words VERY carefully
She didn't call for the gas tax holiday explicitly. Instead she just criticized "some people" who were against immediate help on gas prices for the people of South Dakota.

3. First, she'll have to push the deadline to the July Fourth weekend...

...and then maybe explain why she thinks the people of South Dakota are really so gullible and uninformed. Aside from that, it sounds like a plan!

6. She can always call for a retroactive gas tax holiday, to be refunded after she's president.

4. So I wonder what she has done
To get them that immediate help? I have not seen her on the floor of the senate arguing for any kind of help. I have not seen her do anything but "talk", make promises, and lie about things. There is no way she can get a "gas tax holiday", and she knows it. Congress will not vote for it, and even if they did, Bush would veto any bill that would make the oil companies pay for such a thing, which is her plan if I am not mistaken.

I just don't understand how she can keep using such ploys with the voters, and I can't understand how anyone can believe anything she says anymore!

5. In all seriousness, I can't understand why this idea didn't go into the
pile of "tried and failed" ideas, along with Tuzla sniper fire and quoting Saturday Night Live.
