Hillary's newest chimp imitation: You're either with me or against me.

[cali]

Disgusting. Dishonest. Stupid. That's our Hill's latest move.

She's dishonestly putting it out there that if Congress members don't support her cheap gas tax pander they stand with the oil companies. Way to lie, Hilly. Way to stroke your repuke buddies and try and screw dems. Let's note that dems in Congress are against this short term pander. They know that it's virtually impossible to pass a Windfall profits tax on the oil companies in under a month with a closely divided Senate- the only thing that would make this stupid, cynical pander palatable to Congressional dems. Hill knows it too.

"JEFFERSONVILLE, Indiana (CNN) – After several days of back and forth between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama over whether a summer-long elimination of the gas tax would help or hurt, Clinton took a hard line, asking her colleagues in Congress to take sides.

“I believe it would be important to get every member of Congress on record,” Clinton told supporters at a rally in southern Indiana. “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?

“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?” she added.

C'mon Supers, is this really someone you could work with if she's elected?

Hillary W. Clinton.

1. Jarring, isn't it?

After nearly eight years of the most vile and cynical manipulation of public opinion and policy, we have a candidate on our side trying to out-Bush the master.

2. she's disgusting to pull this.

it really demonstrates what she is. And it ain't pretty. And I don't think it's escaping the notice of the SDs in Congress.

3. Governor Crist of Florida,

a REBUBLICAN, wanted to do this also. The legislature, Republican controlled also, squashed it, saying, "We are broke. Where are we going to get the money to pay for this?" Finally, some sanity in this state.

It's only a temporary fix that will not cure the situation at all. Hillary is sounding more and more like BUSH by the day.

4. It's a cynical, pandering piece of shit

as no way will the congress impose a windfall profits tax on big oil within the next 3 weeks. But the worst thing here is hilly's disgusting behavior threatening, in essence, dems in congress. screw her. she's really playing bushian games.

5. I hope some SDs take this as a clarion call, and march AGAINST her

into Obama's camp. The nerve of that woman. :grr:

6. Interesting, she is already trying to work Congress

This could be a good litmus test but at the expense of her own political capitol.
