Did you happen to catch Clinton this morning on ABC for the full hour free infomercial she did with George Stephanopoulos? She was asked if she could name one "credible economist" who thinks the gas tax holiday is a good idea. She couldn't. Instead she went on the attack by calling all who opposed the idea "elitist" and said "I’m not going to put my lot in with economists." So there you have it: Sen Clinton feels economists are elitists who should be ignored. Remind you of anyone? Do we really need another president who knows better than to listen to anyone else and just "stays the course" no matter how many experts raise red flags?
And let's think about this "gas tax holiday" logically. Do you really think that Clinton can back up her promise of suspending the gas tax this summer? If so you are fooling yourself. She's a SENATOR for Christs sake!! She would need to take time out of her campaign to write a bill...Oh, that's right! McCain has already written it! How convenient! She (McCain) would still need the backing of 51% of the Senators in Congress (not to mention a majority of the House of Reps) to get it passed into law! That's right; she (McCain) can't magically institute it. She (McCain) would need the approval of those same democratic Senators that she was slamming just a couple of days ago. The same senators that know that its a bad idea and a political ploy for votes!! WAKE UP my fellow Hoosiers! If you're planning on voting for Clinton on Tuesday because of this gas tax thing, be prepared to be disappointed. She can't deliver. She is just pandering (again) to get your vote.
She is really hoping that you are not smart enough to think critically. She is treating you, the electorate, as if you don't know any better, as if you are too dumb to see through her tactics.
After seven years of a president who dumbs us down with every speech and every secret signing statement don't we deserve a president who challenges us to be our best and think critically?
