Seriously. How can a supposed Democrat support McCain's gas tax holiday, even if part of it is attempting to raise taxes on oil companies (which we should be doing no matter what)? If I didn't already think the Obama was a better choice than Clinton, this would be the clincher. Since Horsey and Friedman can express my irritation much better than I, I'll let them do the work:
"It is great to see that we finally have some national unity on energy policy. Unfortunately, the unifying idea is so ridiculous, so unworthy of the people aspiring to lead our nation, it takes your breath away. Hillary Clinton has decided to line up with John McCain in pushing to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for this summer's travel season. This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: We borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. What a way to build our country."
