5. How nice of you to bring up that issue.
What, BTW, is wrong with a gas tax? Or are you opposed to all taxes and, perhaps, all government services?

Cars that guzzle gas, pay more tax. Fuel efficient cars pay less tax because they use less gas.

You want the government to do away with its sole incentive to fuel efficiency?

Because it ain't like Bush has done anything to help us in that area.

Kerry doesn't have to bring it up. Gas is an anti-Bush ad everytime a citizen fills a tank.
