''Tis the season when the Demopublican carnival barkers regale us with promises of a bright and shiny future...something for the considerable monies that we send to Washington...Wouldn''t it be nice if the earth would open and swallow them all?

The gas tax break is going to save the average consumer a couple of dollars a month while driving the deficit up by 10 billion dollars. This is a stupid solution.

The smuggness of Hillary to arrogantly proclaim that more voters are voting for her belies the fact that Republican crossover voters are voting for her (now that their nominee has already been decided), eventhough these same people absolutely hate Hillary. There is absolutely no dignity or honor with the Clintons, who are trying every angle to steal this nomination when they know full well the voice of the people has clearly come out against them. Why else would they still be garnering support from mostly the uneducated, generally the most gullible class of people, those most easily duped by the chicanery and pandering of the Clintons? I hope the Clintons go away soon. They have truly become a national disgrace, just like Bush Jr has.

"Risks For Both Democrats As Clinton Casts Self As Workers'' Friend While Obama Looks To Be Anti-Panderer"

She has $100 million Plus in the bank and houses full of servants and yet now she wants to play act that she''s jus'' plain folks! Ha! What a joke! It''s such a far reach that she''s coming off looking like a clown and a buffoon trying to pull it off. She''s about as close to the working class as an oil company CEO!

Pandering! It''s about time a news organization called this gas plan what it really is! It''s election year pandering at it worst. It no different then if Clinton and McCain just came right out and said I''ll give you $30 for your vote, except of course they''re using taxpayer dollars for the deal.
