Hillary Favors Gas Tax Holiday
done
WILMINGTON, NC — Senator Hillary Clinton said she’d be willing to temporarily lift the federal tax on gasoline to ease prices at the pump — but only if the money could be made up elsewhere.
“I think we should look seriously at having a gas tax holiday as long as we can make up the lost revenues for the highway trust fund,” she said. “I think we can do that if we put a temporary windfall profits tax on the oil companies. We could actually take the cost off the drivers.”
Clinton joins what’s become a heated back and forth between John McCain, who supports the tax holiday, and her Democratic rival Barack Obama, who opposes it and calls it “one of John McCain’s latest schemes.” The RNC says Obama has flip flopped on the issue since leaving the Illinois State Senate, where the state gasoline tax was temporarily suspended in 2000 with Obama’s support.
Clinton aides say she differs from McCain in that she’d pay for her tax break, “not raid the highway trust fund.” McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds argues that the Arizona Senator’s plan “would have no effect on the existing Highway Trust Fund or transportation infrastructure,” saying “the expense would be covered from general federal revenues that would be offset by a substantial trimming of wasteful government spending.”
She’s expected to take on Obama on the gas tax holiday at her first event in Graham, NC on Monday.

Another example of Clinton joining the McCain camp to defeat Obama. Enough Enough of her.
Bipartiship = working with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to achieve results
Obama says he will do it and he’s greeted with cheers
Hillary does it and she’s accused of working against party interests
Even George Bush realizes poor people need money now … why is it so hard for Obama to grasp when your struggling to put food on the table every little bit helps. Supporting the holiday should have been a no brainer … a perfect opportunity to unite for the common good … no one would have faulted him for doing it in an election year. But plenty of people will fault him for not doing it.
Hillary doesn’t even need to go down to his level. I know its very sad that the DNC is painting a picture in the media of the one they want us to choose but the one that has shown in more way then one to be the strongest is Clinton. She doesn’t need to prove herself. He is arrogant and dirty if you read the way he moved up to US senate. I will not vote for him. I think McCain is looking more and more electible esspecially if I have to choose between him and Obama.
*correction to my spelling this morning* bipartisanship — guess it is time to change the batteries in the wireless keyboard
Hillary is not join the mccain camp Obama just doesn’t get it. He step in something that is a little to big for him right now. If you read how he moved up the senate ladder he threw some elbows himself. He is also use to just saying his words and getting what he wants. Clinton is actually good for him. If he was to take on McCain now he would get run over. I still think he will because at least half of us feel Clinton is the strongest.
DEBATE! DEBATE!! DEBATE!!!
It’s time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.
Hillary Clinton seemed almost somber at her victory speech. As if part of her was hoping Obama could have defeated her. And proved he had some chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources. In all honesty. I felt some of that too.
But it is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.
Hillary Clinton say’s that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Mr. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.
Mr. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Mr. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton’s have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.
If Mr. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: “You know, more people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent. In fact, I now have more votes than anybody has ever had in a primary contest for a nomination. And it’s also clear that we’ve got nine more important contests to go.”

Wow, Hillary, a DEMOCRAT actually suggesting she’d support something to LOWER gas prices.
That goes against the Envioro-Nut Democratic Party policy of trying to raise gas prices so high no one can drive a personal car.
Hillary and McCain are for the American people, Obama , well hard to tell isn’t it.
COUNTRY FIRST-PARTY-SECOND=====NO OBAMA!!!!!!!
Here we go again. Just another example of pandering to voters. HRC will say whatever it takes to win votes. Obama came out with concerns over the gas tax holiday so she’s jumping on it knowing that uninformed voters will thinks she’s trying to help them and she can once again claim that Obama is “elitist”. She’s also looking ahead to possibly being the nominee (God help us all) and the general election. She knows she has to back the gas tax holiday or McCain will have one up on her if it is approved. This is just a calculated move, not sincere concern for us little people. How do voters not see through this?
Gas tax holiday, let’s see… that means– give oil companies even more incentive to jack up prices, and do it with, yep, more federal debt! When you are coming up $500 billion short every year, how do you give away holidays!! How about we just call it “A Party on our Grandchildrens’ Heads!”
Tell you what, I am about to declare bankruptcy and can’t pay my bills, but I got this here MBNA card with $5k left on it, so I think I will take a MBNA holiday… LOL. And to think, on top of that, that MBNA wants me to do it!!

Bellina…LOL..kind of like the “mortgage crisis” bailout and “economic stimulus” rebates…just more election year presents to voters.
Amazing that it always takes a Republican to create a good idea once again and its always the worthless liberals who dwell on the bottom trying to be the scavenger making their own version of it since the liberals are bankrupt of ideas. I cannot wait until I hear Obama’s version of the Holiday gas tax and then he’ll say that he came up with the idea himself just like Gore telling the World that he created the Internet.
Eliminate gas tax –> Demand increases –> market eventually adjusts prices upward in response.
Result: Consumer pays same price for gas, government loses $$$$ which is normally appropriated for transportation infrastructure upkeep (collapsed bridge in MN anyone?), oil companies get more $/gal.
Brilliant!!
PS - “Make Iran Glow”; as someone with close friends who are Persian and still have family in Iran, I find your and Hillary’s and McCain’s attitude towards Iran (nuke ‘em) 100% outrageous. You really need to separate the government over there (which deserves its poor reputation) from the people (who do not deserve the negative sentiment). They certainly do not deserve to “glow”.
Derek if all the money the gas tax made went into roads we would be driving on gold. Most of the gas tax goes into the general fund which means like social security there are a butt load of IOUs in it.
I personally think that she shouldn’t even be elected as the president. She is a female, and female tend to lean on their own emotions. So that is my advice for all who suggested their own comments. God bless America, and may He not bring judgment on us, by giving Hillary Clinton as the president. May He give us the one, who can lead us back to what America used to be. A God given country. May God live forever and ever!
@ none of your own concern
To be blunt, I trust Hillary’s judgement over Obama’s, and I don’t trust Hillary’s judgement as far as I could throw a Boeing 747.
In fact as the more of the real Obama that has been revealed, the less I trust him. I keep expecting another William Ayers or Rev. Wright to pop out of his closet. Least with Hillary we know her downsides.
In all honesty though, I’m for John McCain, because I feel he’s the most honest candidate running, however if it has to be a Democrat in office, I trust Hillary over Obama.
Does this really shock anyone? Well, it shouldn’t. Hillary is really only going off what Obama said. Keep the gas prices high; thus, the government receives more money, or in Obama’s case drive more fuel efficient cars. What a joke!
Hillary should give everyone a Toyota Prius.
That would save gas and money for all.
Funny how the sport of auto racing gains in popularity every year while Al Gore keeps saying the
sky is falling.
You would think if Al Gore is right about Global Warming the Daytona 500 would be cancelled
forever.
The truth is Al Gore is a fool. Global Warming is a lie. Global Warming is a political attack upon
capitalism.
John-
At least 60% of the gas tax goes directly into highway and bridge infrastructure:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tax#United_States_of_America
Regardless of where the money goes, the effect of suspending the federal gas tax will not save consumers money; as I stated before, the market will eventually cause the price to equalize to the previous rate once cutting the tax spurs demand (which it will). Plus if consumers drive more due to cheaper gas, they may save money based on the price w/ tax if they drove that same amount, but in reality they are probably driving more than they would if the tax were in place; and if they increase their gas consumption by more than 5% (which is ~how much the 18.4¢ gas tax translates to) they will in fact spend more money in the long run.
The only ways to lower the price of gas is to a) decrease demand or b) increase supply, which the oil companies want to keep low by cutting refinery capacity because they can make more money by creating a bottleneck in the oil supply chain at the refinery stage:
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0615-02.htm
The Gas Tax Holiday is a joke. Why don’t any of the candidates suggest we start drilling in our own country and building new refineries. Because they’re all wimps and are in the back pockets of the eco-terrorists. There’s only one way to solve this problem, increase production! Ethanol is a sham and should be stopped dead in it’s tracks. I’m willing to start drilling in my own back yard. If I have to scrub some spilled oil off a few ducks so be it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Further proof that neither Clinton, Obama nor McCain have even the slightest idea as to exactly what market forces determine the price of a gallon of gasoline. Such gas tax “holiday” suggestions are simply one more way of fooling the general public into believing something that just isn’t true and never has been true. It only goes to show that the one commodity, that is abundant in this campaign, is dishonesty. No matter who wins, the U.S. citizens lose.
Enviro wackjobs (democrats) are directly responsible for high fuel and food prices.
They are against OIL, NATURAL GAS, COAL, NUCLEAR. Civilization as we know it will cease to
funtion without these sources of energy.
They file lawsuits every time any energy provider makes a move. Energy providers just pass this
cost of doing business on to you, the consumer. Kick an environmentalist (democrat) in the butt
every chance you get. They are the reason prices for everything are going up and up. Green is a
fools color. Stop the GREEN menace. Global Warming is a fools fantasy.
Senator Hillary Clinton said she’d be willing to temporarily lift the federal tax on gasoline to ease prices at the pump — but only if the money could be made up elsewhere.
Great. Encourage people to drive more while the gas is cheaper. Then make it up by placing onerous taxes on oil company profits, forcing those companies to raise their prices, leading to another surge in prices at the pump, leading to another price crisis and another gas tax holiday?
Why don’t we see through this? Corporations don’t pay taxes, their customers do… That’s us.

So why aren’t the states fixing our roads and our bridges? The roads in Indiana are in terrible shape.
Sinve Wright said he is running for Vice President, I guess Obama has already chosen him.
She will say anything to get elected! And who does McCain think his fooling anyway?:

When the moderater asked Rev Wright this morning about Islam,,,,,,he wouldn’t answer the question.
Vonay, You get the money by dumping the BS earmarks. Most of which never gets used for their original stated purpose anyway.
JUST
So people really base their perceptions of Obama off of his Reverend. What does the Rev have anything to do with Obama. All 3 of the candidates know someone that can be criticized yes even the great John McCain. Listen to the mans plan and his past history. Hillary always talking about she has experience, what experience she was a freakin 1st Lady. Look at what went on during their freakin administration, it was an embarrassment. The guy was impeached, come now who is more credible if you base your opinions off other people. Clearly Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is raising money off the Wright controversy »
Via the Washington Times, “Obama fundraising off Wright-race speech” — YOU can donate anywhere from $30 to the maximum $2,300 to get this “piece of history”:
Sen. Barack Obama’s latest fundraising drive - own a “piece of history.”
And by history, the campaign means a DVD copy of his speech on race.
It’s an interesting tactic, since the speech was given to respond to the political fury that erupted over his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. …

What is this “freakin” about you keep saying?
Is this an EBONICS thing?
What school taught you to talk like that?
That sounds goofy.
Rev. Wright said several times now that obama is a “politician” and obama says things that politicians say to get elected. Who knows you better than a friend of 20 years and a mentor?
Snapper, That`s Televisions way of getting away with the f-word. It does get over used to the point of irritation.
What happens when Hillary wins IN and NC?
It is becoming increasingly clear that Obamas Rev. Wright is a very demented character with
extremely bad judgement and no media savvy what-so-ever. I cannot believe the Obama people
are letting him blather on like this. He has dug such a big hole and just continues with the lunatic
remarks. Voters jaws are dropping as this listen to this major nut-case ruin it for Obama.
I meant to say “as they listen”.

Mr. Wright was asked to speak at a NAACP dinner, the NAACP have dinners all the time. The media didn’t show up at the last NAACP dinner. For all of you who are dense.

I said early take a class, read books by authors of a particular race. Last but not least try having a heart to heart conversation with someone of the opposite race that you might work or go to school with. We live in America this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Thanks for the lecture, Q.
I give it an F+
Has anyone really looked into the cost of this? Seriously. There are bridges collapsing in this very country (and one in my town of Minneapolis). They need to be upgraded and updated and made safe again. This isn’t going to happen with gas tax holidays unless people are willing to pay taxes elsewhere.
It’s amazing how short our memory spans are in this country. Just eight months ago, in the middle of rush hour, a bridge collapsed. It wasn’t the weather or the weight of the vehicles and it wasn’t some barge going up the Mississippi. It was the maintenance of the bridge. Maintenance costs money. It’s irresponsible for anyone to be reasonably thinking of a gas tax holiday without actually suggesting where the money is going to come from.
q,
If we were listening to the media (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and others), we would all be walking around in a daze over obama like his supporters. Unlike you, I have come to the firm conclusion that obama is a “sham”.

FINALLY ANOTHER RACE OTHER THAN CAUCASIAN HAS A CHANCE TO BE PRESIDENT AFTER 221 YEARS. WOW THAT A SHAME…. ALSO FINALLY A WOMAN HAS A CHANCE TO BE PRESIDENT
q, Now that you are through convincing yourself you are the smartest thing alive, let me tell you where you are wrong. You learn about other races, by living with them, not from a book. A book is from the view of the author. I have lived with blacks in housing projects, the Military, prison, and in my current community. I have concluded that most hate white people, and don`t even need a reason. They don`t take responsibility for their own lives. They follow their so called pastors, and civil rights leaders blindly, because they re-enforce their thinking. These leaders tell them they have a right to hate, blame, and get over on whites, because it`s owed to them. Their kids go to prison, and it`s the fault of the Police, or they didn`t get a fair trial. What about the fact they just shot someone. The protesting blacks ignore the crime, and just concentrate on the non-existent injustice. In the end, their is always an Al Sharpton there to pursue his share of the civil suit that this protest always produces. It all boils down to the free ride on the back of America, by pushing guilt trips on whites, and intimidation through civil unrest.

Their high fuel costs gets filtered down to us at the grocery store. and all the stores. I mean really they don’t deliver the stuff for nothing.
We need relief now. Not some time next year if OB was pres and wants to “talk” about it.
They can make up the lost tax revenue by taking it from the general fund and quit all this pork barrel un-necceary spending.
Look to your states gas tax which is supposed to use it for highways and bridges. Have they stolen that money and given it to some other thing like bike paths, walking paths, and other stuff that isn’t necessary. Maybe they put it in the social program accounts. Fed tax goes to Fed highways. They just denied CO and gave a bunch of money to CA. It’s the DOT that alicates the funds and that depends on who has the most “juice”. It’s called politics.
Keep it up Wright you insane old race baiting rabble rouser. As if Jasckson, Farakann and Sharpton aren’t enough. You are helping Hillary and McCain more and more each day.
The left wing media and elite are pulling their hair out today. Theres still a civil war today in the dem. party. They thought Ob was the new Messiah. Ha. now its turned 180 and he’s nothing more than a hard core extremist.

If you are so smart say something that show you know the history of the races that make up America. Don’t cheat turn off your TV. Go to your local library and start reading. Here is something to get you started.
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable;established upon those principles of freedom, equality,justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed thier lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it to support its constitution, to obey its law, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Obama being president because he would be the first black one in 221 years doesn’t make sense. I thought race wasn’t supposed to matter. Make up your mind.
Maybe we should use your standard and insist on a Latino, or a midget, or Indian.
Man, some people can’t think beyond the end of their nose.
Right Francine. We have enough of our own gas & oil to last 100 years, but they won’t let us get it.
I am so tired of these elitists with their superior attitutes, thinking they only know whats good for us. The lefty dems like Jackson, etc. like to keep the blacks poor and dependant on them for votes.
Birds of a feather flock together as Mo said. Therefore, take a good look at Obamas friends and associates. We know who Wright and Ayers are. The question is who is Obama.
I read someplace today Ob numbers are going down.
If you live in a state where you have to register and pledge your life to Dems, go vote for Hillary. I don’t want Ob and his hateful wife any where the WH.
