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.

Hillary W. Clinton.
