Hillary’s Last Minute Pander Will End the Race on May 6

Hillary Clinton latched on to John McCain’s gas tax holiday proposal in a last minute pander to get votes in her desperate attempt at a game changer in North Carolina. She’s gone as far to say that she doesn’t want to listen to the 99% of economists (that aren’t working for Shell Oil) who have said it is a dumb idea. When you increase demand for goods (by lowering the price), then those who are selling the good end up raising the price to profit from that increased demand, and thus, any suspension of the tax will be nullified by either the oil companies or retail gas station making up the difference. So, the taxpayer loses 9 Billion in funds to repair roads, the economy suffers from 300,000 lost construction worker jobs, the oil and gas retailers make more money, and the reliance on oil as a false commodity continues.

This suspension of reality is frighteningly similar to Bush not listening to “experts” about the ramifications of going to war in Iraq, scientists who warn about global warning, teachers who warn of the perils of No Child Left Behind, and or experts who point out that “teaching” abstinence in our schools only leads to more babies and sexually transmitted diseases. This latest pander to voters isn’t the only similarity Hillary has to our current President, but her trying to frighten voters with scare tactic ads and threatening Congress to join her worthless new policy plan with the Bush phrase, “You’re either with us or against us,” just cemented her spot in history as one of the lowest of the low politicians of our time.

This latest strategy will backfire in the worst way for Hillary. North Carolina will be a big loss and Indiana will be a small win, if at all. Super delegates have been slowly moving to Obama for the past two months and despite CNN ignoring four new Supers going to Obama on May 5 (going 18 hours without reporting this fact, but “reporting” that a poll changed one percent in a day”), the trickle is about to become a flood due to Hillary threatening to go nuclear twice in one week…once on the democratic party and once threatening to annihilate Iran (which was strange to threaten to kill innocent women and children considering she’d scolded Barack for saying he’d attack Al Quaeda leaders in Pakistan).

McCain’s gas tax holiday plan and his numerous gaffes including letting it slip out that we’re in Iraq for Oil is about to be dealt with head on.

See the gas tax plan get debunked below:

Oh, and for the 100th time in the past 100 days…Wolf Blitzer “reports” that he thinks his “dream ticket” idea may be a possibility. This guy is either a complete moron, or his CNN handlers have kidnapped his kids and are forcing him to continue to push what everyone in the world knows will never happen. Congrats for hitting 100 Wolf!!

Hillary Clinton and John McCain Want to Fire 300,000 Workers

Yes, it is true. In a time when John McCain and Hillary Clinton are trying in desperation to paint Barack Obama as an elitist and out of touch, these two vote panderers would like to cut out 9 billion dollars of the funds that fix our roads and bridges (you know, like the one that collapsed in Minnesota?), all so you the voter can save $25 dollars in gas over the summer. So, will firing 300,000 people really be worth $25 bucks to you?

It’s sickening that the continued argument (made/pushed by the oil companies) is about getting off of “foreign oil” as if where we buy the oil changes the supply or demand (and thus, the price). It’s sickening that instead of moving to a wind and solar based energy policy, we have politicians trying to bribe the public to make them okay with the high prices they’re paying.

Pandering to the voters to give tax cuts so we don’t have to pay for Medicare, health care, or a three trillion dollar war (other than the yearly 200 billion dollar annual interest payment from the loan we’ve taken from China) is one thing. Pandering for votes on suspending a tax cut so that voters can save $25 despite this hurting our roads and laying off highway workers is not only a joke, but shows zero leadership or judgement.

Maybe instead of spending $12 Billion/month in Iraq, McCain might want to subsidize electric cars and solar panels on homes. We’d be done with our need for oil in 20 years…and his promise to stay in Iraq for 100 years wouldn’t be needed.

Should these guys and 297,000 of their coworkers lose their jobs and further put the U.S. Economy at risk so Hillary and McCain can get a few votes in Kentucky?

‘We Brake when Hillary says “you’re fired!”‘
