Rep. Earl Blumenauer - (D) Oregon on C-SPAN

[graycem]

right now is quoting Hillary in 2000, saying exactly the SAME thing Obama is saying now about her gas tax holiday, when she was running against Lazio, and ridiculing him, Calling it a "bad deal for New York, and a bonanza for Oil companies." Saying that it would put more money in the pocket of oil companies and be detrimental to our highway fund, and construction jobs. Hmm.

1. that is just the holiday, not her complete plan that she was talking about...

when used in conjunction with her other proposals, it can be quite effective.

6. So Why Didn't She propose an Alternative Plan in 2000 then? Oh that's right... She's a Hypocrite

[AllentownJake]

7. Well

She should spend more time talking about the rest of her plan...because this idea stinks.

She was also beating Lazio pretty bad...I'm sure if it was a closer race she would have been all for it if the polling told her it was a good idea...not the economist but the polling.

10. Only problem is, she already proposed a windfall profits tax, and proposed using the money for

alternative fuels. So she is just hoping the voters don't notice that she is trying to allocate the same source of revenue twice.

Obama also proposed a windfall profits tax, btw, and proposed using the money for long-term investments in alternative energy.

2. she's become a laughing stock, but she doesn't care, if she can drum up votes, she'll do it by any

means necessary.

3. She was smart in 2000 - seems to have lost her intelligence

since then.

[Avalux]

5. Nothing to do with intelligence.

Hillary takes positions based on political advantage; not based on what's right or what's smart.

It's the way she is and her presidency would be a disaster.

[livetohike]

8. Definitely - I'm so sick of it all

GOBAMA!

[Tippy]

9. Not smarter, she has sold her integrity to the devil for votes...n/t

4. Typical Hillary.
