Has anyone else notice that "$30.00/month" is the new talking point with the Hillbots?
They weren't using it this afternoon when I was last here but tonight everyone is maxing out their posts with "$30.00/month" in the title.

It almost makes you think they were on a payroll or something, doesn't it? :shrug:

1. What's your point?
I get my monthly check, and it's far more than $30. Are you just jealous that you don't get paid to post at DU?

I have four books of red stamps, but I need another book of blue stamps to get the Hawaiian vacation --any idea what I need to post to finish my blue book?

Thanks --you're a peach.

12. Hmmm...
Last I heard, if you can get three Obamabots to say publicly that they are ignoring you, that'll earn you the silver stamp. Three of those, and you get the vacation.

Glad I could help!

41. Remember, you have to earn those stamps in 30 days...
The new month began on the first, so you've got 26 days now to get public ignores.

Just print them out and staple them to your timecard, and the stamps will be mailed to you...

From what I understand...the software developer is advocating an online stampbook with online stamp distribution. That'll be nice! Won't take as long to get our payola, and we help save trees!

:D

46. Thanks! --and a Question
is the new software supported for Mac?

Initially HRC HQ wanted to send me a Vaio laptop for my "THis Wright Thing Won't Fly" thread, but I said no (cos I'm way more comfortable on a Mac --and at the time they weren't supporting Mac environments --has this changed?)

Also -- Donnie (Ya know the nice guy in the Indiana offices?) Told me that they were starting up a new "Get an O supporter to curse at you" day. (like the one after Ohio) He didn't know the exact time --is it today before polls close, or is it after polls close and tomorrow. I would think it was before polls close --because tomorrow it wouldn't be much of a challenge.

4. All the Obama supporters are talking about "$30.00/month"?
That's strange since the number is over three times the real amount but if that's what you need to believe.....

Twice now, in fact.

The only people I see bringing up $30 bucks is Obama supporters.

I haven't seen one thread where a Hillary supporter has even introduced that number. In fact --I hadn';t even heard that number until Obama supporters started posting it as being a meaningless amount of money.

37. Okay, victim. You go and tell the other two victims how mean I am.
All you do lately is whine about how underrepresented you are here. Hillary just isn't what most of the people at DU want. Is that a crime? Should we all change our support because it makes you unhappy?

What the Hell do you want from us? Seriously. Either grow up and accept the fact that we can't stand Hillary's style of politics or don't, but at least quit crying about it all Damned day.

39. I do?
You have a link for me doing that?

Grow up, learn to be an actual Democrat and not some Hillary bashing arthropod and then you can talk to me.

You are easily one othe most churlish, childish and non-sensical posters on DU.

I have a clue for you, buddy boy --I LIKE OBAMA.

I just like Hillary MORE.

3. Wolfson said it would be hundreds on MSNBC today
He also implied that Bush was the only person besides Obama who was criticizing the Gas Tax Holiday plan.

Tim didn't call him out on it either. :puke:

9. It's like they're all reading off of the same blastfax.
They all have the same misinformation to disseminate and none of them seems to understand basic math.

It's very easy to run the numbers so why do that refuse to do it?

obama is against this.

19. Your comment has nothing to do with my post. Why are all the Hillbots screaming about $30.00?
Especially when it isn't even close to a realistic average number?

I'm finding it very odd that all of you have the same amount and the same comments ready.

Can you explain that or do you need to spew out some other random information that is also conveniently wrong?

26. That's what I thought. You're just here to spew bullshit.
And it's not even bullshit that has anything to do with the thread.

About par for the course considering who you support.

24. That's my point. They're all pushing the exact same figure even though it's wrong.
And they all started at about the same time.

This is a concerted disinformation attack by Clinton operatives.

29. It might be as much as $5 per month...not $30
Indiana and Ill suspended state gas tax of 7 cents, gas prices fell about 4 cents a gallon in the summer of 2000. Average savings was 2.50 per month.

When Florida suspended state taxes in 2004 people horded gasoline driving the price of gas UP so it cost MORE when the taxes were cut.

Oh, and we'd lose billions in road repair money making stuff like this happen:

33. If the $30 refers to the savings from the "gas tax holiday"...

assume you get 20 miles/gal.

you would have to drive 108 miles every day (weekends included).

$30 / $.185 = 162 gallons per month. 162 x 20 mpg = 3243 miles/month 3243 / 30 = 108 miles a day.

You'd have to spend $583 a month on gas... so the $30 / month would mean what to you?

38. $6804/ year on gas each year is what you'd need to spend to save at that rate
