Just think of all the revenue we'll get from speeding tickets! </sarcasm off>

Hitlery wants 55, I want 110. Let's split the difference and add 10. 92.5 mph is fast enough for me on most roads.

In a surprise move yesterday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called for "most of the country" to return to a speed limit of 55 mph in an effort to slash fuel consumption...

Not gonna do it lady. We'll build fuzzbusters, radar detectors and stealth systems on our cars. Keep it at 55mph and we'll generate Klingon claoking systems to get past that.

55 is insane.

This really seems like a political tin ear.

Is anyone nostalgic for that vile law?

I'm ... amazed.

If she runs for President on this platform, she might carry New York.

I've got an idea, Hillary. If driving a mere 55 actually does save gas, then why not just recommend that people do it on their own? If I can get from point A to point B on less gas by driving slower, then isn't the onus on me to drive slower because it's in my own best interests, and not on government to force me, under threat of fines, to drive slower?

While you're at it, how about outlawing throwing rice at weddings? It wastes rice! I could save money on rice by not throwing it at weddings, but since I'm too stupid to act in my own best interests, why not use the law to force me to do it?

I certainly am interested in hearing anything Bill Clinton's Moral Compass has to say about changing what it means to be a human being in the 21st century (as she so charmingly described her social engineering agenda during her co-presidency).

like Rush said earlier today, how long until she tells us to start wearing sweaters, and to tape clear trash bags over the windows to stop the air leaks?

I'm sure that bitch and her liberal friends and campaign contributors will be exempted from the law if it passes.

She is stuck in the 1960's. There is no "there" there in her intellect.

Every time she makes a pronouncement, it is as though we travel backwards in some sort of evil time warp.

I keep expecting that some tattered diseased and long lost group of Yippies will surface squealing about "rights".

This is a very shallow woman indeed.

Didn't they just raise the speed limit in West Texas to 80mph?

Hillary the genious does not seem to understand that that technology applies to the pre 90's technology. The new cars have a different gearing to engine ratio so they can run at 2000 rpm at 75 miles an hour. The gas loss comes from city driving so the 55 number means nothing. What a dope.

Yeah, force me to drive slower to work and play so Hillary and her liberal friends can feel good about themselves. It has nothing to do with conservation or saving lives; its about showing us they can run our lives and we can do nothing about it. Hillary is showing us her true liberal colors. We've all been warned.

Does anybody have pictures of Hillary in her various modes of transportation, such SUV, limousine, airplane.

And we are the ones that have to save gas! What a f*n joke.

Um, this has been tried and failed miserably. I remember speed limits going down to 55 but it didn't take long to go right back up. No one is going to go 55 on the expressway. Geez, barely anyone goes the posted speed as it is.

For someone that is suppose to be a political genius with one foot in the white house door(according to the MSM), Hillary seems to be making a lot of down right stupid political mistakes. I have a feeling that just like last week where she said young people were shiftless and lazy, then quickly backtracked, she will also be quickly backtracking when she finds out how unpopular this idea will be.
