What Courage! (2.00 / 6)

The courage to pander for votes!  Such a stellar show of backbone!

Considering she has done nothing to actually promote these pieces of legislation and has little time to do so (not to mention the impossibility of any such thing passing) before the point becomes moot is not courage, its the exact opposite, its cowardice.

She cant win a straight up fight now (actually I think she could have if she fought right from the beginning instead of lazily assuming it was hers and dint have to try) so shes going to promise everyone puppy dogs, ponies and ice cream.

When basically everyone - left, right and center - calls this gimmick for what it is except the chronically reality based Clinton supporters (God forbid we trust the elitist economists!!!!) is really telling.

I have no problem with the pander per se, but the pimping of it here as something other than it as (and the gall to call it courage?) is amazing.  No self respecting democrat should be able to stomach this garbage - its sad.

True courage is opposing a blatant, but easy to sell, pander.

This is becoming bizarro world.

Oh boy! (2.00 / 5)

The junkie doesn't get to strongarm his dealer, sorry.

I'm sure OPEC is just shaking in their boots.  Until we have viable alternate fuel, we have no bargaining chips here.


In this avalanche, the pebbles get to vote.

Re: What Courage! (none / 0)

compare exxon's profits for 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 with, well, EVERY other company in the US.

they are raking in billions, and there is no end in sight.

do you really think hillary and mccain's gas-tax stunt amounts to "taking on the oil companies"????

please.

i'm sure they are just shaking in their boots. this isn't even like a gnat flying around their heads; it's even less noticeable
