Concerning Clinton and the gas tax

Seems like most of the elite (except those angling for a job in her administration) think that Clinton is wrong, wrong, wrong on the gas tax.

I had been sitting on the fence about the election. While I do favor Obama I wouldn't have been concerned at all if Clinton were to be elected.

I feel differently today. Either she is a fool or she is venal; and either way she should not be President.

To clarify: I think that Clinton is wrong on the merits; it's absurd on policy and economic impact grounds to lower that tax. But reasonable people can disagree about many things and so it is not bizarre that Clinton should have another perspective on the gas tax. But her anti-intellectual stance โ€” forget those wonky economists! โ€” shows a woman who will stoop as low as possible to get to the White House and appeal to the Rush Limbaugh crowd โ€” I don't nothing and I am proud of it!
