I Was Watching

MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, and he was hammering Clinton on her windfall profit tax increase on the oil companies. All of us who are continually feeling the pain at the pump, I would imagine, think this is a good idea. However, as Matthews so put it, does she (Clinton) really think she can acheive this while in office, or is she just pandering--she must know she could never do this?
Since when did standing up for doing the right thing always have to be pointed to pandering? Since when is doing the right thing viewed as impossible because we cannot see a change or are affraid to be told no; especially in a country where impossibles are made possible? Clinton may not be able to do a "presto-change-o," but at least I know she'll keep trying despite the odds.
Ready for the fight,

It has never been a secret, I guess it must have to do with the accusation that Hillary is pandering to the Conservative Right, according to Mathews.
I believe the best thing she could have done in her entire career is to have become a democrat. The party of the people. That should count as a major plus. In my oppinion it does. In all honesty, she is quite a lady.
Politics is a very dirty buisiness, and produces many enemies. But I believe that a person that forms a plan and sets a guideline from which he deviates not he can achieve much. Be forthright and honest above all even if it means being the poorest public servant in history, all can be accomplished.
I pray the Great Spirit Grandfather grant me become a public servant.
The needs of the citizens come first, not personal. To seek justice for the people as a whole. All Americans. That is what public service should be about.
Take care all here. Peace.

Grandpa sends greetings to all.
If and I say if Hillary could even get a windfalls tax measure thru, that probably would not take effect for at least over a year and would the workers out of a job because of the gas rebate be able to secure their jobs back. More than likely not.
By pumping more gas this summer it would drive up the need for supply which would give the oil companies a reason to raise the price per barrel and our gas would go up way higher than it is now.
Also we would cut into the 9 million reserved for fixing our roads and highways. Remember the bridge collapse in Minnesota, that is a real (not selfish) immediate need. How can we be so selfish and so believing of the lies we are being told.
As I'm sure all your parents have told you, "The easy road is never the right road."

2. The call is for a tax holiday to run from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
3. Congress has to act on the measure, Bush has to veto it (which he has said he would), and then they have to override the veto. think that will happen after she gets the votes she wants on May 6? Not a chance.
4. McCain thinks this is a good idea and Hillary copies another GOP idea?
5. Today she said she wanted a congressional vote or something and said she wants to know, "Are you with us or against us?" Hmmm. where have we heard that crap before?
6. Nobody other than pandering politicians think it's a good idea. The Clintonians can't even give the name of a single economist who agrees with the idea.
7. Envrionmentalists agree it will increase global warming.
8. It doesn't reduce gas consumption or our need for foreign oil at all.
