Is Hillary willing to put the democratic majority in congress at risk(re: gas tax)?
Edited on Fri May-02-08 05:38 AM by 4themind
Now I realize, that not all people are single issue voters (and this issue may not be decisive for some), but doesn't this <http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/5/1/222925/7147/47/507454> give anyone else pause. Yes, I can't rule out the chance that she's genuinely concerned about this :eyes:
. But couldn't it also be that she realizes that since there is virtually no expert support on this, she'll take advantage of politicians desire to get elected, by ramping up the pressure on them to jump on this as well. "With us or against us"??? I wish we'd see more threads about this, as much as we see arguing about her intention over the O'Reily comment, because now she's dragging CONGRESS into this, and she hasn't even made a commitment to go back to washington to push this for THIS summer, or to even sponsor a bill on this issue. Doesn't it also seem to be ridiculously short sighted even on her desire to become the nominee because DOZENS of these people she's calling out are uncommitted superdelegates? So I'd appreciate your thoughts about the idea?

3. Litmus test for members of Congressto see if they have a functioning IQ.
Any Democrat who speaks out publicly in favor of the McCain-Clinton gas-tax holiday needs to have their Congressional seat revoked.:rofl:

4. Then why is Obama against taxing windfall profits?
Because David Axelrod, his campaign manager, was a top consultant to Exelon Energy?

It's easy to misrepresent what people say. I learned how to do it when I was an Obama supporter.

On the other hand, the thing about Axelrod is correct. You can http://www.google.com/search?q=Axelrod+Exelon">look it up and everything.

--p!
