The Gas Tax 'Holiday' Shell Game - Clinton Supporter's tie to Big Oil
Edited on Sun May-04-08 03:17 AM by environmentalist
Cross-posted from THE ENVIRONMENTALIST

Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain have challenged Senator Barack Obama over his refusal to support their proposal that would suspend the .18 Federal gas tax for three months this summer. ~snip~ The lone 'expert' in support of Senators Clinton and McCain in this scenario so far? Spokesman for the Clinton campaign and SHELL OIL LOBBYIST, Steve Elmendorf.

1. Yeah....That Hillary doing her McCain's Mini Me routine is really
not looking good if she's supposed to be a leader belonging to another party! How awkward of her.

2. A 'brazillion' environmentalists, or at least 100, have come out against
Clinton and McClain's big ideas. It's just not viable and I challenge anyone to explain how it is, with experts to back you up. You can't, because there aren't any. But she keeps on keepin on:

3. That tells you everything you need to know about Hillary.
She talks a good game, but behind the facade it's just the same old corporate driven bullshit.

5. Like the GOP, she sees corporate profit potential in every disaster
And corporate profit potential equals lobbyists lining up at her door with big fat checks

6. Stephanopolous twice asked her to name one expert who thinks this is a good idea.
She couldn't name one, and then changed the subject, calling experts "elites" who haven't done anything for America's working families.

Apparently she felt the same way about "experts" who warned us that the Iraq War would become a debacle.
