Drivers have been funding New Yorks and Chicagos subways for years through this gas tax. Why not put the tax on holiday for 3 months.
Dopes!

FUTURE HEADLINE...................


President-Elect Hillary Clinton is to testify soon in a trial for campaign fraud during her senatorial campaign. So far, the President-Elect has hinted that she cannot remember much about it and is afraid she may have possibly misspoken or not have properly conveyed the facts as she once knew them to be. Also, she has tried to distance herself from former President Bill Clinton...saying she recalls meeting him once but said she does not recall him contributing financially to her campaign and that there they are not related anyway. She reminded us that Clinton is a fairly common name...like Smith...and although his conviction for fraud in the trial was unfortunate...the government will keep pushing for transparency and accountability in all areas.

I can''t imagine why she would think that .18 cents a gallon wouldn''t be enough at $4 bucks a gallon.

To think of all the votes she helped to bring us here and then be rightly shunned;

Voted YES on removing oil and gas exploration subsidies.

Voted YES on disallowing drilling in ANWR and removing it from budget bill.

The most interesting thing about this gas tax holiday idea is that it demonstrates how Hillary won''t give an inch even when she can''t find a single expert to back her opinion. Is that really the kind of leader who could get things done?

Minute difference in the tax? Sounds like a gimmick to you too, eh? LOL!

The only thing which will bring gas prices down is a stronger dollar. And a profit limit on gas.

The US dollar is down 40% against the EURO this year. We are in Iraq because they wanted to trade gas in Euros, we will attack Iran because they want to trade gas in Euros, we are harassing China because they want to dump their dollars. We dumped the gold standard for the oil standard. If that is lost, we can trade in the commodity which the rest of the world most closely relates to our dollar. Coca Cola. The questions will be how cases of Coke for a Euro.

While the tax holiday sounds attractive, I''m afraid the detractors are right on this one - it will only give the oil companies the chance to RAISE THE PRICE HIGHER to fill the gap. And when the tax holiday ends, the tax will go back on and THE BASE PRICE WILL NOT GO DOWN.

The result? We''ll be PAYING MORE THAN EVER, all so Hillary can score temporary gains.

And Obama will be saying I TOLD YOU SO around Election Day.

This is how Hillary Clinton intends to fight..... She''s always right and screw everybody else. serves her right for stealing a bad idea from a Republican. I am taking bets as to what Hillary will come up with to get votes in Kentucky..... It will be interesting. She has pretty much used up everything including amending the Constitution to allow Guam to vote in the general election. She is testing that theory to see if it is popular and then she will promise the same to Puerto Rico. Since low level voters in Indiana don''t read, They will never know what a bad idea this gas tax holiday is. We have seen how Hillary intends to fight. A lot like George Bush.
It scares me that so many Republicans including Conservative media is pushing so hard for Hillary to win the primary.
"She will be the best candidate to face McCain in November" they shout. If you believe that I have a piece of swamp land to sell you.
