John McDrain's $.18 per gal frivolous federal gas tax cut folly...

[Hubert Flottz]

McDrone's idea is about as helpful as throwing a 50 pound boulder to a drowning man...

Yesterday gas went up 16 cents a gallon overnight. So John's big idea would save you a whopping 2 cents a gallon today if it got through congress and past shrub's oily veto pen. I told you all about 4 years ago that if Bush won or stole a second term that gasoline would go to $4.00 a gallon and I was right. The McDream $.18 a gallon tax break would break the federal highway fund and EXXON would end up with all the money anyway in the end.

More GIANT potholes, more bridges collapsing, more auto repair bills and more easy money for McSame's friends and campaign donors at EXXON and the like. And McLame is the VERY BEST that the GOP has to throw to an America soon to be drowning in higher prices on everything we consume, due to the oil companies rising profit margin.

Take the Mc from McCain and you have the guy who whacked his brother without remorse. Johnny is only worried about Johnny. Not a single solitary word about a windfall profit tax from the GOP to replace the highway funds that Mc CAIN wants to just sweep away, with a single silly stroke of his almighty Reagan pen.

OLD McDummy is ready to be turned out to pasture, on the not so funny farm IMHO...Maybe Exiled to a pig ranch in Crawford where he can hug to his greedy black heart's content???

1. The worst thing we could do is subsidize gas and promote consumption.

It's like lowering the cost of drugs to cure an addition.

2. The GOP always wants to give you something to buy your vote...

What you end up getting, starts with an F and ends with a K and it's not a firetruck!

WE NEED A WINDFALL PROFIT TAX JOHN...

[gratuitous]

3. Let's see, 12 gallons at $3,50 a gallon . . .

So, on your $42 fill-up, you save $2.18, and it still costs you $39.84. Wotta sport that John McCain is, huh?

And, for that whopping $2.18 savings, your crumbling roads crumble a little more. Your failing bridges get a little more decrepit. And enforcement of already toothless regulations gets even worse. And if those things are going to be funded, where is the money going to come from? We know that the defense budget is sacrosanct, and indeed, must always increase. So, for an extra $2.18 in your pocket two or three times a month, what are you willing to give up? Food inspection, maybe?

Of course, this incredibly stupid idea will quietly go away, and nobody will say that it reflects a basic understanding of the McCain candidacy. Or that this half-baked idea shows his poor judgment. Or that his irresponsible suggestion has anything to do with what kind of governance we could expect from a President McCain. But let's talk about lapel pins! Now there's a vital issue that tells us everything we need to know about a candidate!

4. LOL

Lapel pins won't get those lying, cheating, stealing, jack-asses through them pearly gates.

"MORALITY" That's another one time BIGGIE GOPer issue("stance")the GOPers had best leave alone in 08. And BTW do ya think that Dave Vitter had a couple of those American Flag pins on his funky diapers?

The pubbies can't very well bring up Bush's record either, because Bush is so dumb that when they told him about Dick Cheney having Acute Angina, I'm told Bush responded, "Yeah I know and Unka Dick's little ole bubble butt ain't half bad to look at either!"

The only real shot the GOPers have IMHO, is another grand theft in November or December. I'd put NOTHING past those lying crooks and thieves!

5. These Greedy bastards think we are all so stupid, don't they?

More tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy, more corporate welfare for Halliburton and Exxon et al.

More screwing over the working class/working poor and EVERYONE ELSE WHO ISN'T OBSCENELY WEALTHY!


Edwards couldn't get an ear for his message of holding CORPORATE AMERICA financially responsible but McInsane goes on teevee and promises more for the rich and less for the REST OF AMERICANS!

All the while, Hillary and Obama are slinging shit at each other. :argh:

[Hubert Flottz]

7. The GOPers need to start wearing EXXON Lapel pins and flying

the EXXON flag in Washington.

The GOPers still can count on about 30% of the voting machines across the country being rigged in their favor, IMO. I'm betting that the crooks have several Ken Blackwell types ready to help them out too.

The repubs figure that they didn't do everything they could to win if they didn't CHEAT!

Bush might have "WON" but he damned sure wasn't up to doing the job he stole!

I think McCain and his "Reagan Pen" will be an even bigger disaster for the country than W has proven time and time again to be.

I think a HUGE windfall profit tax on the energy companies would generate the funds we need to fix things in this country and to pay off some of the mountain of debt that the war in Iraq has left us owing Red China.

9. and we keeping on keeping on! it all the same! No matter the party! I like to say that

we Dems are different, but we really are not, now days. It is sad!

[guitar man]

6. they would raise the price of gas .18

overnight...without blinking. It would only serve to put more profit into the oil company coffers and would do nothing to ease our pain at the pump. End of story.

[Hubert Flottz]

8. I couldn't agree more.

The only winner as long as the GOP is running the show, will be the big corporations and the people who fund the GOP.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. He doesn't have a clue! How obvious it that?

Nor does he give a shit! It's too funny!
