It’s just utter nonsense.

She’s ended the Democratic party forever. Because she wants to win. And she’ll become a Republican to do it.

She supports vaporizing Iran, cheap bushy-type-bribe ploys like this gas tax holiday, and follows Rove’s race-baiting, sue-to-change-the-electoral-rules playbook.

She’s a Quisling to the party, and her husband has become a sickening insult to the ex-presidency.

Wait, actually, he blew most of his second term on being a jerk who couldn’t NOT fuck fat chicks in the oval office, so he jumped the shark ages ago.

I don’t feel the need to even read the post.

[and I strongly agree with your perception of the collective intelligence of the US voters…what are we who are so much smarter than the targets of ads and promises from the McSame/Clinton going to do?]

A gas tax holiday is a dumb idea from the get-go. Even on diesel, the figure I heard was a savings of about $700, or a tank and a half of fuel.

Owner-operators and small companies are going out of business faster than ever. Some of them are leasing on to big companies to survive. But in the end, we’ll all have to go to switchgrass biodiesel/recycled deep-fryer grease, or the industry will die.

Even my husband, a school teacher, is trying to figure out how to rig up a distance learning classroom so he can avoid his commute.

And, not even truckers are for this. Because they know it will just put infrastructure at risk without helping gas prices in any meaningful way.

Bloomberg Slams Clinton, McCain Gas Plan: “Dumbest Thing I’ve Heard”

Speaking to reporters at City Hall, Bloomberg said of the gas tax holiday, “It’s about the dumbest thing I’ve heard in an awful long time, from an economic point of view. We’re trying to discourage people from driving and we’re trying to end our energy dependence … and we’re trying to have more money to build infrastructure.”

I agree that the truckers are getting hosed, but we have to stop looking at quick-fix band-aid solutions. American consumers are going to have to understand that their oil addiction means they’ll have to continue to pay taxes at the pump, and pay increased food and goods prices dues to the trucking companies (not individual truckers — willing to make an exception for small O-and-Os) being taxed directly for their drivers’ use of diesel.

They can call the consumer tax the George W. Bush Gas-o-leen Tax (in honour of his down-home reg’lar guy image) and the trucking industry one the Richard Cheney Diesel Tax (due to his more corporate orientation).

The situation is FUBAR for everyone, but after 8 years of wasted opportunities it’s time to pay the piper.
