Good politics by RATs. Matching Bush move for move.
That would be interesting. I'd like to see them try and re-enact it after the 60 days were up.
Excellent. It's about time the Repubs grew some b........Oh, it was the Dems that proposed that.
The world is reverse.
Any politician who couldn't use the current oil prices to push through ANWR and off-shore drilling is inept!
Is today Opposite Day?
GOp should beat them too it and if they can't, state that we figured they would block that move like any other tax cut.
Good politics, bad for the market. At these prices you want to cut demand so dropping the price will only aggravate the problem and take it even higher.
Plus, if they are going to cut taxes then they had damn well better offset the revemue somewhere else.
The credit card is maxed out.
Meanwhile Republicans call for investigations.
Helter Skelter!
If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,
If the mamas sold their babies
To the gypsies for half a crown;
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.
As I always suspected, there must be a significant number of oil stock holders among the Democrats. What a windfall! (And he picks up the telephone to call his broker.)
I miss Tom Delay!
Whatever.... in a year they will be hawking to double income tax because of the revenue they lost for "highway funds" during the suspension.
No thanks. When Dems start "helping", you better be watching your backside, because when you bend over they'll give you something you thought only happened in prison.
Please post the source.
This is from a blog, kinda like saying here's a headline I just read ( just after I wrote it)
Oh come on now, don't buy this. The devil is in the details. The proposal will probably be something like: Reduce the gas tax for lower income workers (you know, the one's who don't work/don't pay income taxes). They can apply for a rebate (read welfare) when they file their tax returns. It will just be a shifty way for the dems to work in a new wrinkle to the EIC.
And cats were chased into holes by the mouse...

ONLY because they(democrats) know the bill has not a chance of succeeding.. Pretty smart..
REALLY smart would be republicans JUMPING ON this band wagon and pushing it down their throats.. and jumping up and down on "it" to pack it in.. And THEN proposing to make it PERMANENT..
ALL Federal, State, County, and local TAXES on ANY KIND ENERGY should be illegal.. whatever illegal means.. What illegal means is up in the air these days..
The seller will merely raise the price....reason: if he doesn't, consumption will increase and he won't be able to meet the demand.
It will only highlight the high degree of taxes paid when they re-institute the tax.
Day before the tax repeal: $3.109
Day 1 of tax repeal: $2.519
Day after reinstatement:$4.209
Who's kidding whom?
