The Mad Rants of an Unconventional Soccer Mom

Sounds familiar doesn’t it? How many times have we heard Bush threaten us with being an enemy of the State for not supporting his “War on Terror”? Well now apparently Obama, this country’s leading economists, and the democrats in Congress are Clinton and McCain’s enemy. Why…because they all realize that she is selling snake oil when it comes to her and McCain’s “gas tax holiday”.

Here she is borrowing Bush’s favorite line to bash Democrats:

"I believe it would be important to get every member of Congress on record," she said, "Do they stand with the hard-pressed Americans who are trying to pay their gas bills at the gas station or do they once again stand with the oil companies? That's a vote I'm going to try to get, because I want to know where people stand, and I want them to tell us - are they with us or against us when it comes to taking on the oil companies?"

Let’s think about this for a moment: Clinton is demanding that legislators of her own party align themselves with her on an issue that her Democratic opponent opposes and her republican opponent favors. In fact, as the New York Times notes there is broad opposition to this among legislators. And this vote she is demanding is going to happen. It’s already on the agenda because Jon Kyl and Mel Martinez - both republicans - have introduced legislation to enact a gas tax holiday.

So let me ask you this: in the known history of the universe, has any republican ever voted against a tax cut. And what happens to the Democratic legislators that oppose this republican bill? Can you just see the attack ads that will come out against the Democratic legislators up for nomination this fall? I bet they will contain phrases like "even liberal Hillary Clinton supported tax relief for car owners.”

I’m telling you, she is this years Lieberman. She is not in it to build up the Democratic Party. She is following in her husbands footsteps by kneecapping the party with triangulations. She has once again, to score a point in a Democratic primary against a Democrat, just handed the other side yet another campaign issue - on top of Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers, bitter, god, and guns.

And I have one last set of question for you to consider: is this not a great way to piss off those undeclared super delegates who happen to be members of Congress and who might not be sympathetic to Hillary's latest campaign trick? Is it wise for Clinton to pressure ~250 super delegates into adopting your REPUBLICAN position when you need their endorsement to win the nomination? Seems a little odd, doesn’t.
